San Juan

We are here. That is we (the Butler Swim Team) are in San Juan. It is warm, kinda like an Indiana summer, warm and humid. The only difference is the rain that forms from the humidity. At least its only a sprinkle for about five minutes.

Traveling went fine, it was just a long day. We had a practice last night and that was not fun. I was stressed out to begin with from traveling and them we get to the pool and it starts getting dark during practice (note- this practice is the 2 hour slot before our evening practices for the rest of the trip). Between the pool being cloudy and there being practacly no lights around the pool you couldn't see much. Not good for Julie who HATES it when she can't see through water.

Today has been fun. We got up and had breakfast at had plenty of time to get ready and stuff, as a matter of fact, we had a little too much time and I would have been fine with some more sleep. Practice was ok, the water is just really slow (or thick feeling, take your pick). Dryland sucked, we thought we were going to have weight facilities but I guess we don't so we ran, a lot, outside. Boys in shorts, girls in shorts and a sports bra. Then we did some quick abs, which were a lot harder than normal. Came back and grabbed some lunch (Subway, goal, not to eat Subway anymore, probably won't happen seeing as there are at least two of them in walking distance of the hotel and its cheapish. Want to try something interesting tonight. I (and various others many that came and went with time) spent a couple of hours (2.5 I think) playing in the waves. You know those really big ones that are kinda scary, ya those. We didn't got out to far and even stayed in after hearing someone had died less than a mile down the beach. We all made it, maybe with a lot of sand in unmentionable places but its all good. Mo was upset he missed it and says he is in tomorrow. We've got another practice in a few hours and then dinner and bed and do it all again!!!
