Everyone got burned today.
ER out
Ok, now here's the real post:
Although everyone did use sunscreen, everyone managed to get burned in some way, shape, or form:
Kathryn-Face burn, major goggle marks
Kate-Burned on her right side
Erin-Burned on her left side
Adam-Burned during the ACT (don't ask)
Elise-Minor back burn
Heather-Cap burn, back splotches
Maddy-Left side of neck and upper shoulder is burned (Jeff is pretty sure that someone (Heather) didn't rub the sunscreen in).
Zach-Minor neck burn, doesn't hurt... "yet"
Emma-White forehead, red face.
Will-Goggle tan, face burn, back splotches
Jack-Back burned
E. Flack-Mid back
Greeno-Back, lower back/butt tan
Victor-A spot in the middle of his back (it oddly resembles the shape of France...)
Erik-Back, neck, some shoulders, some cap tan
Matt-Added freckles, back burn, beet red face
Brian-Incredibly tan, avoided sunburn without the use of sunscreen... Except on the bottoms of his feet (we're not quite sure how that happend...)
Jeff-Second degree burns on his arms from trying to show off his guns.
Kim-Just burned in general
Other than that, we had a great day. Dinner was at some Famous Dave's type place, which I'm told is called Shane's Rib Shack or something. Some of us hung out at the mall, though some of us went to see movies.
Everyone completed the IM set (not quite with flying colors, but withing Jeff's standards). Neil's practice was not that bad, and we got to hit the d-boards at the end.
Jeff's turn (be very, very afraid):
Morning run went well because everyone made it on time! No one has over slept as of yet....hmmm??? who will be the first room to "not wake up?"
Humidity was awesome; I think we all lost 5 lbs in the first run... lots of water around here.
Everyone kicked butt on the IM (12 x 200's descending set) followed by the 8 x 50's sprint set off the blocks at the end of practice. Victor and Zach had the fastest reported times in the set and everyone else did their goal times.... I was very happy!
We had two visitors today that most of the boys liked a lot! Two blonde European girls that swam with us and were very nice.
I look forward to the upcoming days!! So far so good and we are having fun. Wish the rest of the senior group could be here as well. You are all missed!
It's me again!
Ok, tomorrow, I'll probably be talking about all the music we've been listening to, as well as attempting to get some pictures of us up. I'll also continue covering the training and food. Finally, tomorrow I'll be getting a few more people (namely Jeff and Kim) set up as admins on the blog, so that they will be able to post as well. I'll be sure to update periodically throughout the day.
Oh, Jack and Will have promised me posts over the next few days, but don't count on anything being produced.

Running at Sunrise
Now that we're about halfway through our first full day of camp, I think we all have a little better idea of what this week will actually be like.
We went on a 2 mile run this morning, which wasn't all that difficult, although it was really hot. After the run, we did some abs, then went inside to have breakfast at the all-you-can-eat buffet. Needless to say, unlimited, free (from our point of view, at least) food is never a bad thing, especially when it tastes good.
Morning practice was fairly difficult; definitley worse than yesturday's, at least for the group I was in. We did a 1.5 hour IM set with surprise sprint free at the end, but I heard that the technique practice wasn't that bad, so I'm looking foreward to tonight.
After practice, Neil took us to Chick-fil-A, one of the best fast food chains in existance.
Now on to some notes about this blog. Jeff suggested that everyone on the team try to contribute at least one post at some point during the week, but that's about as likely as us having to miss a practice due to a blizzard. I'm pretty sure that Jeff will post at least a few times, if he ever gets around to making an account, that is. If not, then I guess the three people actually reading this blod will get to listen to me for the whole week.
Finally, I apologize in advance if the quality of the posts keeps declining due to exhaustion, soreness, or simply laziness on my part.

Day 1
Today was the first day of the camp. We flew in, then pretty much dropped our stuff at the hotel and went to the pool (after waiting for certain people, of course).
Practice was allegedly "easy," according to El Jefe, so I'm scared for the rest of the camp. Mostly freestyle on fairly easy intervals, but there was also some sprint free that was a bit challenging. The pool was really nice and incredibly clear, but the locker rooms were a bit sketchy.
We had dinner at a Mexican place which was "better than Chipotle, in my opinion," according to Zach Litwin, who went on to say "That place was really good."
Now I'm off to a (mandatory) team meeting, then we'll probably hit up Dunkin' Doughnuts and the gas station.
I thought I heard something about having to run at 6:30 tomorrow. That will be... interesting.
Finally, Neil would like me to give a positive shout out to himself and FGCU. He's great, seeing as he bought us dinner (I think it's part of the camp, but he did anyway). Also, FGCU has a great campus and a really nice pool.
