Peace Love Bono and Pull Sets


So I'm just back from Sundance, where I saw some amazing films, and where I got sick and missed the opening of U23D and the kind of proximity to Bono that I've dreamed about since I was twelve. I sent my camera along with my sister in law, and she brought back images that made me feel only sicker (that I couldn't have been there). Still, the vacation was amazing, and you all MUST SEE the following films:

In Bruges
Yellow Handkerchief
The Wave (a German film that is adapted from a real life fascism experiment done here at Palo Alto High in 1967 with sophomores)
Ballast
The Wackness

And, yes, it feels good to be back in the pool :)

*warm up: 3 x 250's free with last 50 non-free

add pull gear for:

*3 x 150's free
*3 x 200's free
*3 x 250's free

It could have been worse...the images could have been from the U2 private party ;)

I am totally envious. There were some great films at Sundance this year. I would have loved to have gone...well...except for the cold ;)

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...
