Welcome back everyone! I'd have to admit, writing these blogs really serve as a reminder of how fast time is going by. We have already completed week 3, and are about to wrap up our Vegas stint this upcoming week.

Beginning last Saturday and finishing this Sunday, we have played 11 games in 7 days. We started the week off in St. George, Utah where we were blessed with absolutely beautiful weather. On Monday we played a double header against Dixie State, followed by another 2 game series against Southern Utah on Tuesday. From Thursday through Sunday, we competed in the Las Vegas Dessert Classic and competed against UTEP, Wisconsin, Portland State, Seton Hall and CSU-Bakersfield.

Aside from the days where we had double headers, this week was a little less hectic than past weeks. Along with playing games, we continue to commit to a 6 day lifting and conditioning regime. Considering the point at which we are in the `grand tour', it is important that we continue to emphasize the importance of developing and maintaining our strength.

Tomorrow we have the day off with the exception of a vision training session. As a house, we are hoping that we might take advantage of the fact that we are living in Vegas and go see a show. It would be a shame to live in Vegas for a month, and have missed the opportunity to experience what Vegas has to offer.

Congratulations again to the softball team! The fans couldn't ask for a better way to kick off the season.
