Almost done... Finally!

So much for an easy technique practice... We got to do a bit of fly drill, but our main set was 12x100s on hard intervals. The ocean swim tomorrow will be... I would say fun, but that wouldn't be accurate.

Below is my paragraph on Heather, as well as the rest of the team's paragraph's about each other.

Erik to Heather:
Coming to the camp, I honestly thought that you were one of the most obnoxious people on the team. Now, after getting to know you better since we've been here, I would have to take that back, though I must say that you can be awkard at times. You are certainly one of the most entertaining people on the team and having you in my lane has never been boring; you have a truly unique personality. At practice, you're always working hard, especially on the longer, harder sets. Finally, your obsession with Victor has made the conversations in our room a bit livelier than they would otherwise be. I hope that when camp is over, we can still be nice to each other.
~Erik

Erin to Jack:
Jack is a very important member of our team. I got to know him a lot more this trip. We swam in the same lane a lot and he always encouraged and helped all of us through the sets. He is a very positive person and is nice to everyone. He is very laid back, but also has a great sense of humor. He is really smart too. ( involving Victor in the pranks to distract us was a great idea:) haha) He's a good friend and a great teammate. whenever we have a super hard set, he always keeps everyone going. I will enjoy swimming with him for years to come!

E. Flack to Matt:
There are too many words to describe a person like Matthew. This is the first time i had the pleasure to meet his aquaintance and his personality is definataly one i'll never forget. His vivid imagination and clever jokes always keep the team entertained while his energetic mood carries him through the long sets. He is loved by all including the coaches who are always looking forward to his presence. He completely dominates in Mario Kart and continues to stay fly with his ganster- essque golfer hat (gettin the ladies!!). Rooming with Matt has been a fun and unique experience.

Adam to Grandfather Crust (Greeno):
You may be wondering why Greeno is named Grandfather Crust. If you have not seen this pale beauty, he is just that. His pale white skin glistens in the sun, but it also has a tendency to turn colors. He spends a good 20 minutes putting on 50 spf sunscreen every day and the sun still seams to creep in. The brominated pool dries all of our skin out, but Greeno's flakes off in a white powder, hence the nickname Grandfather Crust. He does not only turn colors, but he also has an amazing running ability. He rocks the morning runs and his long legs carry him across the wide stretch of the pavement. Rooming with Greeno has been a great experience and our Mario Kart races have brought merrories and good times.
-Adam

Brian on Emma Wilde
Where to begin? Emma is a very "wild" girl indeed. Always a party girl, it is easy to hear the thumping music from her room at all hours of the night. Usually her selections are from the little-known Jonas Brothers. A one man girl, she has her eyes on Joe Jonas, and will stop at nothing to win his heart. A self-proclaimed celebrity Twitter stalker she can never wait to see what Joe has recently posted about his day. The other love of her life of course is her mother. Constantly in touch, she always updates her with the news and events of the day. It sure has been a sensational experience interacting with a new member of the team.

Kathryn on Brian
Brians great sence of humur has added many unique words to everyone's vocabulary. Raaaah, he is consistantly entertaining the whole team. His hardwork has made him fast at swimming and encourages the rest of the team to stay positive. Brian getting sunburned is like Erik R not getting burned. He is very into ghetto music and cranks it in the car. He also is very sarcastic and jokes around alot. He is a very important member of the team and will have a great season.\
-Kathryn :)

Matt on Elise:
Elise is a very composed and can be a funny individual at various times. She also has an extremely good taste for comical movies. Along with working hard at practice, she has a radical surfing talent on the internet. After getting to know her over the week, she never fails to mention something interesting to talk about that I always succeed to miss. Elise is also very popular among the team members. One of her many great qualities, she never speaks any ill of anyone, she always has something positive to say. To return the favor, Elise never spends any time alone. She always has a friend by her side to talk with her. Seeing her positiveness throughout the week has constantly reminded me to be positive as well. Way to keep it rolling.
-Matt

Jack to Will:

Will is one of my best friends on the team and I really enjoyed rooming with him during this trip. He was very fun to be around and train with. He commonly helps me think positively, and change my perspective, especially when faced with a hard practice. We enjoyed watching Batman: The Dark Knight every day this trip on HBO as well as chilling out with cold towels to relieve ourselves of extreme heat rash. He has improved immensely throughout the course of this trip, especially in the morning runs. He stuck with Jeff's brisk pace during the runs without dying or making a negative comment. He always works hard at practice and I see him kicking butt on all of the sets, especially those consisting of backstroke. I look forward to hanging out with him in and outside of the pool this summer.
