Fins

Lots of fins today: on my feet, on others' feet, and in my face and on my head.

Let's just say there were a number of mishaps (miscounting - by myself included - and directional pull) in our lane which resulted in casualties to my face and head. Who knew swim practice could be so hazardous? (I also spied a sawed off half of a fin near the other side of the pool in our lane. We all saw it, but somehow neglected to discuss how that could have been there, and why it just stayed there. Bizarro.) It must be the cold.

*warm up: 600 free with 6 lengths of backstroke in there

add fins for
*800, 400, 200 done as:
50 3 count back, 50 3 count free, 50 regular back, 50 regular free

remove fins for
*6 x 100's free with last length as backstroke (on the 1:30)

replace fins for
*6 x 100's free with last length as backstroke (on the 1:15)

fin option for
*300 done as 10 lengths easy back, 10 lengths strong back, 10 lengths easy free, 10 lengths strong free

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...
