Week 9 Mom finally updated my blog...

We arrived in Florida on Monday, the 5th.  It is hot and humid in Coral Springs, but I am enjoying the rain.  We are staying in an extended stay type hotel for the next 10 days, so it is much different than the Cottages we stayed in before. 

Our first day of practice, we had a crazy monsoon type storm, But it was during our lunch break, so it didn't affect practice too much.

Now that I am here in Florida, we are training harder than ever.  I thought we practiced a lot in California, with long days.  But we are practicing even more.  We don't have as many specialty training sessions, so we are mostly in the pool.  In fact, we spend 3 hours more a day in the water.  Usually we go to the pool at 7am, and come home at 6pm, with an hour lunch break.  We do all of our land training in the evenings after dinner.  At least the view from the pool is nice. 

Alligators any one?  Right outside the pool.

We got to spend our last half day off in Fort Lauderdale. The beach was really pretty, and I could not help but think about all my friends who were stuck in school while I "shore" was having a "swell" day. haha 

But enough relaxing!!  We have only 3 more practices till we leave for Puerto Rico!!  I'm sure we will be working like crazy before we leave.

GO TEAM USA!!
