It was 4:04 and we had just finished our team meeting talking about the practice schedule for the rest of fall break when Evan Rhinesmith told me he was gonna do a get out swim and go 1:00 in the 100 breast.  I liked the idea and told him that I'd cut out the 2nd half of practice if he did that.  We finished warm up and I pulled everyone out of the water.  The team started to buzz, cheer and rejoice when they heard the deal.  Some were even so confident to say that it was a done deal before Evan jumped up on the block.  The team rallied.  Guys on both end the pool.  Guys on both sides of the pool.  Music cranking, guys screaming.  Rhinesmith plunges to the wall...59.99 (and if he didn't glide it would have been 59.6!)  Everyone goes crazy.  Now a novice woudl believe they went crazy because they got out of a part of practice.  But I believe they erupted because they saw a teammate get up and raise the bar.  It was at that moment I saw the team get infected.  No not with the swine flu, but with confidence, with pride, with courage.  Next Adam Current tried a 50 fly (24.7), Eric Vaughn busted the 100 fly (54.3), Chad Woods blazed a 1:52.9 in the 200 free.  David Birrer tossed his hat in the ring for a 1:59.61 in the 200 fly.  Then Vetor thrashed his way to a 47.99 in the 100 free.  Alex Beck even came within milliseconds of breaking the 50. barrier in the 100 free.  We even had a 200 Medley Relay clock a 1:39.7.  It starts with one practice, and sometimes it starts with one person, but confidence and attitude can be infectious.  Today the team didn't get out of practice, they got up and raced with confidence.  If we can go to every meet this year with the same confidence, swagger, determination, and pride that the team infected each other with today...well we'll let the results so you what will happen.  Get Infected!
