4000 yards for 4000 calories



Well, today was as sweet as Tim promised. I was sure he'd mix up the 10 x 400's and do some sort of fin and pull gear options, along with drills and such. But no. Thankfully he simply said "All 400's today. Have a go." And I did.

For lunch I'll have a go at a large burrito and my beloved original Coke. My favorite meal to follow my favorite workout. A perfect last swim day before my two week beach vacation. Here's the pool I'll be swimming in for the next 14 days. It's pretty, just on the edge of the marsh in the warm South Carolina low country, but I'll be lonely. Honest.

Check out the May 18th issue of Palo Alto weekly. Your lane mate Mitchell Johnson is on the cover.

There is a very nice article about him and the work he does with paint and canvas.

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...
