So good to be back

That's all I really have to say on this Memorial Day. Just that it is good to be back in the "home pool" even after a glorious vacation of traipsing back and forth to the beach (between strep throat episodes for various family members, but that's okay).

Today's workout:

4 x 100's free
2 x 100 IMs
4 x 50's kick

pyramid of free:
100 on 1:25 base
200 on 1:25 base
300 on 1:25 base
200 on 1:20 base
100 on 1:20 base

descending 50's of free starting at 1:10 and going down to 35 (that's 8 :)

three 200's of free on the 3:00

go start the BBQ!

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...
