Back again


It never ceases to be refreshing to get back in the pool after a long weekend away, even when I spend it doing things as fun as swinging on a sunny beach. What a gorgeous weekend!

Today's workout:

*400 free
*4 x 100 free descending

add fins for:
*400 (rest 15 sec)
*50 fast with first 25 underwater (rest 5 sec)
*100 recovery on back (rest 30 sec)
repeat 3 times, descending each round

take fins off for:
*2 x 300 on the 4:10 (L2)

put fins back on for:
*2 x 300 on the 4:00 (L2). match the amount of rest you got on first round of 300's with amount of rest you get on this round.

I read last year in "USMS Swimmer" that May was Coach Appreciation Month. Everyone be sure and tell your coaches how much you appreciate them.

Butter My Buoy?

I know it's going to be a good day when the morning opens with one of my muscled male teammates (fully clothed of course) opening his parka to me for warmth while listening to the warm up set. (Apparently he hadn't heard about this damning blog yet :). Things just got better (if that's possible) from there. The fact that the main set was done with paddles didn't lessen my excitement when I heard Tim say "Eight 300's." Whooohoooo! Freestyle junkie heaven. Little did I know this uber set would also be a chance for me to improve my swim-cabulary. After the first 300, Emmit (correct my spelling if need be) popped up during the rest period and said, "Okay. Someone buttered my buoy". Fabulous. I don't know if Emmit made this term up or if I've just been unfortunate enough thus far in my career not to hear it, but I love it. I immediately knew exactly what he meant. This whole buoy buttering is exactly why I never, ever, use a buoy. It drives me...
