Blog 2781: Miami Journey Day

What an eventual journey that was, the main thing is we are all here safe and sound which is a massive improvement on last year. So from the train journey down with the police being called to the 45 minuets of rough (worse Ive ever had) turbulence it was an eventful day rounded off with the now customary Wendy's for tea before checking into the hotel. We did manage to get straight to the hotel this year as not having 4 back seat drives made a massive difference.

The hotel is really nice as you will see from the pictures below, the eating/lounge area is very impressive. Its only 7 minutes from the pool and we have already seen Ruta Meilutyte, Fran Hassal, Liam Tancock, Ben Proud and James Guy train. Whilst we have trained along side the Hungarian, Polish, Austrian and Canadian National teams. It seems to be a full international team camp week or two.

This morning we did a loosen with some work on body position and a nice med ball kick set, as the pool have changed our Short Course and Long Course sessions round along with having so many people using the gym I have had to completely redo the programme so this afternoon will be Wednesday mornings kick set.

The weather is a cool 16 degrees and overcast however it is ment to be warming up towards the weekend with highs of 24 degrees.

Some classic out of the mouths of babes for you.

Who was the president during the American Civil War? "George Clooney"
"Austria is in America isnt it?"
"this is harder than Labor" meaning laboring work

Its going to be a long camp!
