Trash Wizard

The small trash wizard who lives in my car stole my yellow cap sometime in the night. I left my bag in the passenger seat, all ready to accompany me to practice this morning and blam! this morning the cap was gone.

Thanks to one of those badass triathletes on the team who always carry 17 extra caps and other gear items in their bag, I was able to save the ends of my locks from chlorine abduction. But, in typical me-fashion I forgot to give the cap back to Mary. So until I see her again I will be busy guarding the cap from the trash wizard. Do not fear Mary. I will succeed or die trying. (How's that for a valiant effort?).

The workout:

*warmup with 200 free, 50 back, 50 breast, 200 free, 100 back, 100 breast

*300 free, 100 stroke drill, 50 fast same stroke
repeat 3 times
drill to use on first second and third 100 are: 2 count pause, one arm, fist

*4 x 50's stroke on the 60 sec, drill down, swim back; 2 x 100's free on the 1:30

*3 x 50's stroke on the 60 sec, drill down, swim back; 2 x 100's free on the 1:30

*2 x 50's stroke on the 60 sec, drill down, swim back; 2 x 100's free on the 1:30

For Heidi

I was nervous about visiting Heidi. I remembered her as an always upbeat, caring person who lit up the locker room at 5:45am and made me glad I had gotten out of bed. I knew she took great trips, and lived actively. I knew how happy she was about her son's marriage. Beyond that, I figured I didn't know her very well. I never saw her outside of Burgess, and I consider her a teammate and acquaintance, more than a dear friend. That said, thanks to the environment Tim has created, we teammates at Burgess definitely feel like a part of something bigger - a family, a support system, something. But as Sunday drew near, I considered the fact that I felt a chest cold arriving, and that I would have to depart from my children (who I see too little during the week) for hours to go visit her in San Leandro. I wondered what I would say to her and around her. I wondered if she'd even care to see me. And I almost didn't go. I will forever be glad that I went. And I encourage every one...
