5.  What is up with the motivational photo attached to this note?  

• Last week we had a very challenging college level "Challenge Set".  
• The challenge of this set was to race 150 yards and be within 6 seconds of your 150 split of your best 200 free time.  Details!
• Once you make a total of 12 efforts, you are done!    
  • Then, create positive energy and cheer on your teammates who are still swimming and persevering, trying to get them to 12 within 20 opportunities! 
• What are we learning?  Why are we doing this?    
  • There are many races within races.   
  • Example: 
    • Where do you need to be at the 75 of your 100 breaststroke in order to reach a new best time?  
    • How fast do you need to be at the 1st 25 of your 50 free in order to go 21 or 23 or 25?  
    • How do you break a minute in the 100 fly?  Where do you need to be at the 50?

• The 20x150 Challenge Set requires a ton of Perseverance. 

• YOU WILL FAIL along the way.  
  • YOU WILL KEEP GOING!  
    • YOU WILL PERSEVERE!
      • You'll never know unless you GO! 
        • Know what you need to GO! 
• 20x150's @ 3:30 Free. 
• Let's do it again this week!

Persevere TMEC!
