Gretchen Walsh Will Take Break Over Holidays Then "Head Down" LCM Focus Through to Pan Pacs

Gretchen Walsh has had a busy fall, competing at all 3 World Cup stops (and going 9-for-9 in her races) before traveling for much of the month of November and capping it off at the US Open. In Austin, Walsh took first in the 50 and 100 fly, 2nd in the 100 free, and 3rd in the 50 free. Now, the sprint star looks forward to taking a break from training during the holidays to replenish herself mentally before going all-in on LCM training leading up to the Pan Pacific Championships in August.
