Today we woke up again at 5:50 we had a practice where we went out in the quad. We started the practice out doing steady state for about 6 thousand meters. We then Worked on starts breaking down the whole start by individual strokes. We first did individual strokes then we did the whole start half speed half pressure. We then changed in to three quarters speed and pressure, then full speed and pressure. After the starts we started to do pieces we did 4 three minute pieces the first two were to simulate the first one thousand meters of the race and the second two for the second half of the race. We then paddled in and headed back to are rooms. Later in the day we had to go to the boat house for practice. Since there were thunder storms we had to erg, we did two twenty-five minute pieces on the erg. After that we headed back to the rooms and hung out.
