Day 5 (new years eve) and everybody is aching again. We did the usual routine of getting up at half 6 and had breakfast however; we (Andy and Adam) josh and charlie left a little earlier than the rest so we could get in the gym earlier. We had the whole gym to ourselves doing a really fun but difficult set consisting of a lot of squats ,lunges and box jumps. We also did some heavy work on out biceps and lats.
As a result we were struggling to walk. During this time the rest of the swimmers completed the Auburn sprint set which is a number of 50m all with varying distances at max effort.
So then onto land training we went. we all went out onto the running trac to complete a 15 minute run in the 30 degree heat. After the 15 minute run the swimmers went onto do 15 minutes of core abb work whilst the gym people continued onto another 15 minutes of running with a 100m sprint start which Adam won. This next 15 minutes of running was made so much harder due too the previous leg focused gym session. Training for the day and the year completed.

We were then told we were goig home but en route we noticed we were turning right and all there was on that right turn was a krispy kreme. Matt in some bizarre change of heart was being nice and treating us all to a donut. I (Adam) was allowed an extra for winning the 100m sprint. There was one donut left which after choosing random number was won by Andy. Which he kindly shared with Caomi awwwww. But he also let me (Adam) have a bite awwwww.
After this treat we thought we were heading to the beach but again Matt suprised us again by going knee boarding on a lake towed around by a cable. Supprisingly he girls seemed to pick up a lot quicker than the lads Laura was the stand out person on this making it the furthest around the lake.
For our celebration of the new year we went into town where there was a carnival full of food and drink stalls. We could choose whatever we wanted most had fried chicken, hotdogs, cheese stake and burgers. However due to most of the entertainment being done for the night plans changed, junkfood was picked up and the pool party began. Both team managers and the coach were forced into a night swim. 12 o'clockstruck and the new year was upon us. So Matt decided to propose a night run around the block. A few of the swimmers took part while the others either went to bed or stayed out by the pool then when everyone was back from the run everyone was in bed shortly after.
