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

PURE

The workout email said 3 x 1000's PURE for today and yes it was! Last night I read the short story "Swimming" in the recent New Yorker and this morning it came back to me. As T Cooper wrote, "You know that feeling (while swimming)...where you're pushing so hard that you understand how a body could just as easily die as live, that living is just the absence of death, and thus always in a relationship with death?" Yes, I know that feeling. All of us do, even if we haven't expressed it so eloquently. At those moments I tend to think about someone or something that has truly pissed me off recently, and I work out the anger. I imagine very inappropriate scenes where we (myself and that offending person) are in a group and they chance to say something slightly off-color. I rip into them and teach them a lesson about ignorance or bigotry or just plain pettiness, and they understand how base they have been. Okay, sometimes I also swimdream about the perfect par...
