After enjoying a long break from the pool, we started back up again at 6am on Monday morning. The team split up into distance, stroke, and sprint groups. Everyone walked away feeling good about the practice. It was a challenging practice but a good loosen up from our time off. After practice, and lift for the ladies, we spent a leisurely morning in Gateway for breakfast and headed back to Lincoln Hall to begin the day's activities.
I decided to take a day away from the sun, do some much needed laundry, and get some rest. Other people decided to take advantage of the beautiful Hawaiian day and spent it relaxing on the beach at Waikiki. Katie Papa '16 had an especially exciting day when she tried her first Jamba Juice!
At 4pm we regrouped for debatably the hardest practice so far...the notorious 400 IM set. The set consists of 16 400 IMs or 26 200 IMs. The set was challenging both mentally and physically, but DCSD came through stronger in the end! We walked away from the pool feeling exhausted but extremely proud of the hard work we had put in for the day. After a big and well deserved meal at Gateway, we all went to bed early to get ready for 6am practice the next morning.
