Can I really swim too much?

I'm actually getting tired of swimming, after the 75 x 100's and a number of follow up days, and the 100 x 100's coming up in less than a week, and I hate the feeling! I much prefer looking forward to getting into the pool, but tis the season to dread the morning alarm...and feel glad you didn't ignore it once you're in the shower!

*warm up: 4 x 200's
first one free, second with 50 back, third with 50 breast, fourth with 50 fly

*3 x 200's free, easy, moderate, hard
100 IM recovery
*2 x 200's free, moderate, hard
100 IM recovery

*2 x 200's free: moderate, hard
100 choice recovery
*2 x 200's free: broken at 100 for 30 secs, then broken at 50 for 10 secs
100 choice recovery

*250 IM: 25 fly, 50 back, 75 breast, 100 free

If we were meant to swim all of the time, G-d (or whoever) wouldn't have created Triathlon :)

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...
