Special 5th July Blog Update

So yesterday was the last day of the meet and also the 4th of july here. there were some great swims throughout the meet and we are still voting on the PB of the meet.

This morning seb and I got the opportunity to train with the University of Texas mens team who are also the reigning NCAA national champions. National team members this morning in our group included Aaron Piersol, Michael Klueh and Eric Shanteau. Coach Eddie Reese included us in everything they did from warmup to warmdown and it was an amazing experience.

Next we met up with Mr. and Mrs. Flowers at Denny's for unlimited pancakes which was also amazing, especially after a long practice in the morning. After breakfast we stopped at the University of Texas merchandise store to stock up on Texas brand stuff.

Afterwards Dr. Bell and Mrs. Bell had us over for lunch at their summer home at Lake Travis where we enjoyed some openwater style swimming, canoeing and homemade lemonade with 3 time olympic champion Sandy Neilson-Bell and world famous sports phsycoligist Dr. Keith Bell.

now everyone is packing and preparing for our flight to Mowtown.
