Malone Cramps on day 3

Scratches:Josh Vessey(no car)

This week has been a major statement week for Tdisc. Right from the drop of the hat on Monday we've pushed ourselves to the extreme through hump day. Today we arrived at the TTF in fairly good spirits. Noticeably absent was Josh Vessey. At 6:15am Josh had a phone conversation with the admiral. According to the admiral it went a bit like this...

Jv-"Can't make it...don't have a car."
Admiral-"ok"
Jv-"Are you mad at me?"
No-"No...but you're going to have to explain this to the bull."

....Vessey was quite shaken over the whole situation...unsure how the convo was left off.

The 6 of us piled into the much cooler cari pool and did our usual warmup. We then prepared for our cardio set. The coach was in the middle barking out orders and everyone was listening. The bull had to study so he just swam. At one point I looked up and the bull was spliting the D going right down the middle of the lane. Everyone seemed to swim well. As I was finishing up I went to turn at the other end when I heard...."he's pulling a vessey." I looked up to see malone holding on to the diving board, grabbing his leg and wincing in pain. He had officially experienced a pool cramp.

As we were leaving the pool area the media caught up with Malone. "Jason, can you talk a little bit about your first 3 days with Tdisc?" Jason nodded. "First off, I want to start by saying that I'm thrilled to be training with the TDisc family. Coming off a tough loss last night in triple overtime only to get home at 1 am, I struggled out of bed. But the TDisc core group pushed me into swim mode in the locker room. "I don't want to swim today" is exactly how the Admiral put it. Thanks for the motivation Breezer!
Im not going to lie, its been a battle thus far. The excitement of agreeing to the 100 day tryout officially wore of this morning, as I had to jump out of the pool with what is known as the 'Vessey cramp'. The pain I experienced reminded me of how far I have to go to even consider myself a part of this illustrious crew. TDiscGreggy has been there for me though, pushing me at the right times and keeping me motivated.
Hopefully things continue to move in the right direction. Im really looking forward to the upcoming road trip to the sweat lodge, as well as sleeping tonight. Thanks"

I think I speak for the team when I say it's been an honor to have Jason with us this week. He's given Tdisc the push we need coming out of the dog days.

They also caught up with the coach who had this to say...
"Been real pleased with how the team has responded in the pool the last two mornings. Good to see Jason Malone putting in a good effort. All the boys are buying in and making themselves better every day. There has been very little time spent hanging off the "wall of negativity."

"Just wanted to pass along a big "good luck" to Bull on his upcoming exams. Here at TDISC we value education, and Bull has been very diligent with his studies this semester. Let's hope all that hard work pays off Thursday."

Other housekeeping matters:

Admiral has been diagnosed with a severe case of "Admirals Feet" - this is not in any way related to "Admiral Hamstrings."

Jason Malone has been diagnosed with a grade 3 blister. However, he doesnt' plan to miss any training.

Josh Vessey's car confusion will no longer be an issue - from now on he will be picked up by the Axe guy."

It was great to be back at spin last night. Tdisct(w) put us through a great class. It's been a long while since i've broke a sweat like that. Can't wait for next week.

Through hump day,
