Here we go ladies! Very similar stuff to last week but increasing the intervals on the intensity sections.

Team Meeting: Thursday - Field House 038 - 4-5pm. I will send out more details about what we're talking about next week so you've got time to think of answers.

Reminders:

- Swimming at Schroders: If you plan on swimming there during the day you MUST be done/out of the water by 3:30pm. Their swim teams start shortly after and we must be completely cleared out by then.

- Team Conditioning: Rustin host a conditioning workout from 9:20-10am on Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri – in lieu of chapel. Monday and Thursday are now Triathlon Team days.
