| Work, Work, Work...The Training Aspect of the Trip: |
|
 |
| The 25 meter pool we trained at, located next to the USS Arizona Memorial |
 |
| Rachel Miller sleeps in the car on the way back from yet another strenuous practice. |
 |
| With hard work and determination BIG Dan somehow manages to squeeze his "tripple X" shoulders into a tiny wetsuit. |
 |
| Cross-training included scaling muddy, slippery mountains...beware of falling rocks! |
 |
| Yet another proud moment for BIG Dan as he basks in the glory of having scaled the mountain. |
 |
| Dirty and sweaty Shannon Genrich is thrilled to have conquered the mountain... |

| The scenic view from atop the mountain we hiked on New Year's Day. It took us approximately 2 hours to reach the top, and another hour to hike back down. |
