Farewell Mother Russia

Well this is my last post from the Russian experience.
Overall, it was absolutely one of the best experiences I have had as a coach. With being around coaches from all different backgrounds, you can see subtle differences about their styles.

As for the meet, watching Miss Ledecky was, as I told Nuna, was watching history being made. That young lady has such poise when she is on deck, but so voracious in a race, To see her in the semi finals of the 200 Fr, last at the 150, just 15 mins since she won the 1500m in World Record time, just pure GRIT to make it to the finals. Unbelievable. Oh she then went on to win the 200 Fr finals the next night.
