Here is a glimpse into Northern Colorado's Winter Training Trip to San Diego, CA by Alicen Fair.
Never have I been so happy to leave Colorado! It was balmy two degrees as we were leaving Denver. Talk about cold! Trading freezing Colorado for warm, sunny California sounded wonderful. Life was good! Day one of training kicked off with some running on the beach. Completing a challenging workout seems so much better when you’re in paradise. Later that morning, I got ready because the team was heading to the San Diego Zoo! I could not contain my excitement. We spent the rest of the day roaming around the zoo and it was the highlight of the trip hands down. Some of my teammates had the thrill of feeding the giraffes. It was hilarious to watch the giraffes interact with the girls and there were some priceless pictures afterwards. The following day was the first day of swimming. San Diego State University shared their pool and weight room with us for that week of training. It was great swimming in an outdoor pool. What’s better than getting a tan while you swim? After each practice was over, it was fun seeing how bad our tan lines got just in those two hours! In between the practices and meets, we found time to have a lot fun! We stopped in L.A after a meet and man did we feel like celebrities driving through Hollywood in our twelve passenger vans! Speaking of riding in the vans, there was never a dull moment. Traveling to practices, meets or dinners were some fond memories on this trip for me. Whether it was singing Ke$ha songs or just goofing around, there were always plenty of laughs! I think this is what I enjoy most about training trips! Although these trips meant to be very challenging, I love how we are always able to have fun with everything we do!
