That would be the signature of 2-time Olympic gold medalist and UT alum Garrett Weber-Gale. I ordered a tee from his website (www.gwgswims.com), and he signed it before sending it to me. I'm a huge fan of the healthy lifestyle and food choices that he's an advocate for and, of course, a big fan of his swimming. It was so nice of him to sign my shirt - thanks GWG!

I also worked on turns with my coach on Tuesday. They're definitely getting better, but it's something that I'm really going to need to focus on in my upcoming practices. I found a handful of drills on the GoSwim website that I'm going to try tomorrow that I think will help. Two of the biggest problems I'm having are moving my arms all crazy (which is creating a lot of resistance, naturally) and not getting into a tight enough ball when I flip. Throwing in a few extra v-ups in my workout routine would probably also be a good idea to build up some additional core strength.
Hope you're all having a fab week - it's not snowing and the Cavs are winning, so it's good times in Cleveland :)
