Expecting Something Special in October….TWINS!!

Well, like I said in my last post, the last few months have been crazy amazing and in this post you finally get to know why. Jennifer and I will soon be proud parents in early October 2012. We could not be more excited about this amazing journey we are about to embark on!

The day I found out Jenn was pregnant, I realized how amazing it feels to know your going to be a father! Than a few weeks later it got even better. The doctor informed us that we will not be having one baby, but TWO!! We are having Twins!!

Let me tell you the first thing that came out of my mouth when I heard the news about having twins….   “We are going to have half a relay!! Better yet, a FULL family relay!”

If I look at this in terms of swimming, I couldn’t have asked for better timing.  As soon as the Olympics are over, I will have something even bigger and better to look forward to! The next chapter in my life is being created right now and I can’t wait to  experience it!

2012 is Setting up to be Amazing

First off, I am sorry I have not been posting as much recently. If you have been following me you know my schedule has been more than just hectic! Working and swimming both full time is a challenge! Since  December I have added even more in terms of dry-land work and it looks like its taken up all my blogging time… lol!

A recap since December starts with having a sub par nationals in my eyes. I learned a lot from that meet and noticed some big changes happening with my stroke and racing. After Nationals I ended putting together some great speed training sessions which showed at Duel in the Pool. I won the 50 freestyle from an outside lane putting up a top 5 time in the world for 2011. I was also added to the 400 free relay  which was a blast to be a part of as we took home the final win of the meet! after that during the last week of December and the first week of January I went to Colorado Springs for some good altitude training. This absolutely destroyed me in a  way that I have never felt before. And in a twisted way I really enjoyed it. After coming off that training I went to the Austin Grand Prix and swam well considering how exhausted I was.

Since that meet things have moving right along in a great way.  Training can be summed up as “amazing.” I have put together some of my longest sustained high volume training sessions in my life and my recovery from one session to the next has been fantastic. My strength,  power and flexibility have been developing into areas I have never seen before and I expect that trend to continue! When it comes to my flexibility I am about 200% better than I was in 2008 which was a huge issue for me back then.

I now look forward to adding to it with some great racing. my first meet coming up will be in March with sectionals in Greensboro NC where I expect to put up some great swims. After that I will compete at the Indi Grand Prix and Charlotte Ultra Swim to get down my final preparations for trials.

I Expect to update my blog more often as I get ready for trials and The Olympic Games.  Check back often!
