We did a team Polar Plunge and everyone ran into the ocean (some longer than others).
We, as a team, came up with a mission statement that we will carry on throughout the season...
We had our first double session of the week and we started off with the 110 run test. After that, we got right to work! We all had to make our own lunches that day and that was a sight to see in the house ... Back to the high school days.
After the second session, we were able to go back and rest for the rest of the day, which is what we all needed after the two run tests and the double session. This allowed us to get ready for Day 4.

around 8 am as we all loaded up the bus to head further south. We stopped at the original Cabo Fish Taco around 11 a.m. and had a delicious lunch! Then of course our next stop was grocery shopping with the team... we ended up spending $1,700 on groceries! The first thing everyone did when we got to the condos was take a trip to the beach. Then we had a team psychology meeting with Anne and talked about our more embarrassing moments and our proudest moments we've had in our life, there were some laughs and some tears!
Follow along as redshirt freshman Haley Lukefahr documents the Hokies' annual training trip to Charleston, South Carolina and Tech begins the 2015 season.
Freshman Carly Primo and I started our journey back to Virginia Tech from my hometown of Corning, New York, at 7:07 am Monday morning. We got to Blacksburg around 3pm. The gas prices went form $2.65 to $1.95 within the eight-hour drive. I think it's safe to say we are happy to be back, even though the stay will be short since we leave bright and early for Charleston tomorrow.

Somewhat still depressed we weren't in the Galapagos anymore. We packed up our things in hopes that the following days would be as amazing as the last. Bright and early we hit the road, air, and water to travel deep into the heart of the Amazonian Rainforest. Our journey consisted of a 45 min bus ride, 3 hour delay in the airport, 30 min flight, 5 min taxi, 1 hour boat ride, 1 hour ride on a safari truck, and another 2 hour boat ride to reach the Tiputini Biodiversity Station.
This isolated oasis, home to many large and small secretive creatures, became my home away from home for the past four days. Each day, we woke up with the rising sun, enjoyed a cup of rich Ecuadorean coffee with breakfast and headed out for the trails that led us into the mystical depths of the rainforest. We divided into groups and were led by guides native to the Amazon forest.
Their ability to read the signs of the biomass on the forest floor left behind by animals and insects was incredible. We would never have found the pocket-sized monkeys meandering, hidden on the mossy branches of the 300 year old trees, the insects or butterfly bushes, the medicinal remedies and poisonous plants (always the prettiest ones!). I would have never found the lemon ant nest for a quick zesty treat and I probably would have injured myself stepping on the nest of some angry Congo ants! I wouldn't have seen a torture tree, had my hair brushed with a monkey comb or fallen in love with the rainforest without my amazing guide.
Between the early morning hikes, where we climbed so high we could could see where the canopy of trees kissed the horizon, and the late night walks through the black forest filled with red curious eyes, we ate the most amazing traditional Ecuadorean meals. On our last day we floated down the Tiputini river with electric eels, Puranas and caiman. The only thing missing from this experience was Tarzan swinging through the trees by vine!
It is a shame that this place will most likely be destroyed by the oil exploration that will be used to fulfill our materialistic needs valued highly by society. Though the creatures and vegetation have evolved to protect themselves and survive in the rainforest, their abilities will fall short in the face of chainsaws and bulldozers. I am sad to leave knowing I may never get to experience it again!

The first destination of this crazy adventure began in the Galápagos Islands and is where we spent the past four nights. This place is a small oasis full of biodiversity and has maintained an affectionate culture that revolves around the nature and wildlife of the islands. I admire how well humans and animals live in harmony and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to experience this lifestyle first hand.
San Cristobal is one of the oldest islands and is where an extension of USFQ is located along with a science research center where the students are able to take part in research related to environmental issues that directly affect the islands. Here, we observed sea lions, land iguanas and a ton of different species of birds. We took a boat to travel along the coast of the island to see the location where Charles Darwin did most of his research of evolution with the finches. We snorkeled with sea lions and tropical fish before departing to Floreana.
On this second island, we hiked through the lush forest to see giant land tortoises, pirate caves and where the first inhabitants of the mystical island lived. We snorkeled with sea turtles on the black beach before returning to our final destination in the Galapagos, Santa Cruz.
We spent the morning in lecture, toured the Charles Darwin research facilities where turtles are bred in attempt to recover the nearly extinct population of land tortoises. We spent some time at the beach exploring the mangrove forests and observing juvenile hammerhead and blackfin Sharks. We rung in the new year on the pier with fireworks! Tomorrow we will be traveling to the Amazon, definitely the most exciting way to start off the new year!
