Another 500m day

Oh yes, to day was another day of 500m pieces. It is a workout that has you pleading with your body and mind to stay together and stay focused.
Today was not just an ordinary day on the water..... our coach was upset because of another series of poor performances on the world cup circuit. In addition to a mad coach we had two volunteers from sports medicine observing our practice. The pressure was on.
I think a combination of things lead me to feel "inspired" to push the limits today, including watching the USA soccer team go against all odds to find their way into the Confederation cup final yesterday by beating out number 1 ranked Spain !
The workout started out great and kept getting better. I hopped on Maggie's wash and hung in there for 500m after 500m trying to focus on each individual stroke and not get carried away.
We still have two more workouts and a team meeting but I couldn't ask for a better start to my day!
