	This only just occurred to me because I'm dim but for all her complaining, Meaghan is trying to wear herself out so she doesn't have to think. Coaches may need to pull her aside. Also, would they tell her Ainsley won't be there to give her a break? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Monday would technically be day 5 (but maybe day 4 if you don't count Sunday because they had it off.)

Team would have been informed that Ainsley was being excused from practice on Monday. Ellie would have update Meaghan with the plan before they started in on Monday afternoon sessions. A more formal announcement and updated plan likely happened on Tuesday.

And then it sounds like it would then be a fine line of pushing Meaghan, but not letting it be too much. (That's probably a job for the Maggie Voice)

That's what I was thinking, but now that I think of it more it doesn't make a lot of sense for her to be totally zonked immediately after a half day and then a full day off.

So. Pushing herself super hard to forget/distract herself the first three days. Probably too hard.

Monday she's back and refreshed and thinks she'll be fine to train and pfft, she doesn't need Ainsley anyway but by Tuesday realizes that's actually really not true and she really cannot do all the things. But still trying to, because dangit she can't admit there's a point to having a reserve.

So pushing Meaghan will not be an issue because she's doing that herself. It's the not letting it be too much that's the problem. She usually paces herself at least somewhat better than this but her head's in the wrong place and taking the rest of her down with it.
