Winter Break

The team swam alot last week and capped things off with 10,250y of swimming on Monday. I went in expecting an easy morning swim and we got in 3750. Then that evening hit it hard with another 6500. The last 500y I was dreaming of Chipotle. Silver burritos were flying around in my head and I was ready for dinner.
I flew out to Jersey on Wednesday for an East Coast trip. I'm taking a block of time off to regroup before the last of the winter swim base training. I usually woudn't take a break now but since my season ended in September and I started training again in October this will be a long period of training. I find it's best to plan in some breaks in a time like this so that a) I don't get worn down and take forced breaks and b) I don't get to the final races of the season and want the season to be done with.
We just finished off an awesome Christmas season at Mile High Athletic which I'm happy about. We were able to nearly triple our sales compared to last year. Since prices drop big time after Christmas I tried to get nearly all our skis out in December so now it's slim pickins and we have under 200 pairs left. Although it seems odd not to have many skis during the season this is right where we want to be. Now we can take a bit of a breather before stocking up again as the season winds down.
