From CA to WI…

First of all, I wanted to thank Jenny Thompson and Kim Vandenberg for making the clinic in Livermore, CA and Hartland, WI very special.   We had a great time and the clinics went well.   

Dave and Dee were a blast to stay with in CA.  I think I’ve met my match when it comes to projecting on a pool deck!  Dee I think we could go head-to-head on voice projection.  Streamline winners went to boys Alex and Alex and Choki and Kylie.  Great job Aquacowboys! I know all you guys are now Kim Vandenberg fans!  Good luck Kim and we wish you the best @ Trials! 

I flew through the night to WI and made it in time for the clinic that morning.  I think I’m actually getting pretty good at sleeping on planes.   Unfortunately, I have a terrible twitching problem.  While sleeping, I’m sure I probably smack the person next to me a few times before I wake.   I think I must be training in my sleep.  Maybe this could be considered one of my other “hidden training” methods.   Swim while you sleep!

Well, I met up with the legendary, Jenny Thompson, and the clinic went well.  I was proud of Jenny for taking the time to prepare to speak to you guys!  I also really enjoyed being the keynote speaker at the banquet afterwards.  I always feel like I wish I had more time to share with you and your families so I really enjoyed speaking at the banquet.  It is always a pleasure meeting all of you and the letters and comments are so touching.  I wish you the best and will be cheering from a distance!  A special thanks to Ruth Ann who always makes my time in Hartland well worth it. Congrats to Haley, Molly, Zach and Trevor! You’ll go far streamlining! Here’s a great pic with the folk from the Lake Country Swim Team.
