Yesterday the whole team packed our 3 vans and made the 3 hour drive down to the McKenzie River area about 45 minutes before Sisters and an hour outside Salem. It is really a quite beutiful area with an epic running trail that we got to explore! We also got to experience the spring of the McKenzie river which comes from the ground and a volcanic vent into Clear Water lake which really is pretty darn clear and also pretty darn cold. I think the official reading was 48 degrees.
Some of us jumped in and let me tell you it was cold enough to shut down my brain! We only have 4 days left until our frist official meet and the team seems really nice and everything has been going really well! Our team has pretty much doubled in size since we had 8 freshman girls come out and 7 freshman boys. It's nice to have such a large team for the first time ever. We had our time trial on Saturday and it was a good start!
We have our first real hard workout tomorrow and today I am just giving the legs a little rest after running 4 days in a row by biking and running in the pool. I also meet with Holly Goodman at 11:00 to talk to her about my internship with the Oregon Wine Press. It will be exciting to hear what she has in mind and get to finally meet her.
