Plant the seed

Scratches: The admiral(Parenting)
Bull Patterson(Night with Youssi)

I've been completely exhausted after my long day on Tuesday. Although I didn't have trouble getting up this morning, I found that my body was really tired. I just had trouble getting going. For Example: Arrived at 6:55. Entered the changing room at 7:04. Left the changing room at 7:10. Sat on the pool deck with goggles on till 7:14. Began swimming at 7:18. This should take 5 minutes. The not so good part about it....The rest of the team followed suit.

For being tired I swam well today. I started with a warm up and then did 1250m consecutively. Finished with a cool down. It is disappointing for the team not to have the admiral and bull in the lineup this morning. It is also disappointing for fellow triathletes swimming beside. One triathlete mentioned that he swims better when he has the admiral there racing against him. Pushs everyone else in the pool.

We stopped by the hottub for a few minutes following the swim. It was there that the coach gave Vessey an inspirational pep talk. "You see Vessey. You planted a seed today. You continue to work hard and plant seeds, because in July you harvest those seeds and all that hard work planting pays off." Stated Coach Tdk. Vessey and the Coach high fived right there. Vessey now understood why he was pushing himself in February.

Tonight it's edfit...tomorrow it's bike sprints and weights.

Keep on Keepin' on,
TDP
