SARAH AND MINDI IN OUR SAUCY SUITS

I've been coaching this new synchro team for about a week. I'm actually strength coach for the team. For two hours I guide different groups of girls through a workout that will help them in the water. The older girls are there almost 3 hours and they come to me for 30 min, then swim laps, run a few miles and then work on their synchro. I think I'm in fairly good shape, I workout about 8 hours a week or so, but NO.... I'm not so hot. I'm having a hard time keeping up with these girls! Thinking back to high school days, working out was so much easier. You have all these coaches cheering you on. If you did after school sports, you did that in addition to PE, thats a lot of exercise! No wonder we could eat whatever we wanted!

Anyways I had to post this picture of my good friend Mindi and myself. We swam a duet together and I remember I wasn't as good as she was, she made me work SO hard. We got first place at a regional meet in Colorado. That was probably one of my most proud moments in Synchro because I worked so hard for it. Our sons are in the same class now. We live just a few miles away from each other. And its nice to see that at one time I was as skinny as all these girls I see!
