Week #5: 9.5-9.10

 “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
Will Durant

"You don't get results by focusing on results. You get results by focusing on the actions that produce results."

-Mike Hawkins

Now that we are a few weeks in, have a few meets under our belts and are in the routine of swim and school, its easy to lose focus on what we want to accomplish come November. We need to make sure we are fueling our bodies correctly, getting enough sleep and concentrating on all the 'little things' at every practice. 

We have a big week with a duel meet tomorrow and our relay meet this weekend. Please take note of all the times below.
