Creation of the Elite Teams

Today was an exciting day for the Alameda Fishtix. We have taken the next step in making us more of a competition at races. We split the team into two groups, a competitive one and a novice one. We are hoping that the competitive one will allow us to step up and beat the SF teams. To do so, we are implementing an extra practice day on Fridays at 4 and making the practices more intense to build up our strength, endurance, and overall form. For the competitive team, working on form is essential for the Fishtix to excel. We need to work on rotation, keeping in time, and stopping body drops until the end of the race piece. In addition to this, the coaches strongly advise the competitive team to work on endurance on days without practice and to work with weights to enhance our overall aerobic ability and strength.
