Big day in the city

Training this morning at 5am was the coldest it has been yet.... 3 degrees Celsius (35 degrees Fahrenheit)!!! I honestly don't know how the kids do it! It is an outdoor pool and the pool is heated but eventually they gotta get out and walk from the pool to the shower which is only about 100 yards away but that is 99 yards too far for me!! But they are dedicated so the deal. After training we had a coaches meeting (something we do every Tuesday). We go over each swimmer and evaluate their progress and strengths and weaknesses. Everyone communicates really well and that is refreshing given previous experiences :) Perri and I headed into the city on the train after the meeting. Melbourne has heaps (as they would say over here) of public transportation. It is really expensive to park your car in the city for the day so we take the train, tram (cable car), or bus. The train is the fastest way (only about 25 minutes) and the tram and bus are slower because they stop at traffic lights like the cars do. It is about $6 for a daily pass or $2 for a few hours. We went up the tallest building in the city and looked out over ALL OF MELBOURNE. It was awesome. We went up 88 floors. Tomorrow is ZOO DAY so Lord knows im SUPER EXCITED ABOUT TOMORROW. Hope everyone is nice and warm in good ole US of A!
