Pyramid (swims and schemes)

Just after a nice detoxifying pyramid (sort of) swim this morning I was contacted by one of my best friends regarding what looks like a very cool Acai Berry Juice that is supposedly a detoxifying agent, looks gorgeous, and is a nice alternative to wine for us athletes (comes in a wine bottle looking thang). Pyramid scheme? Perhaps. Have any of you tried this? I am tempted enough to drink it, that's for sure. I'll let you know if I'm soon detoxified. If I start really drinking the Kool Aid (juice in this case), maybe I'll offer it for the low low price of something attractive to the team.

Work Out:

*freestyle: 4 x 125's; 3 x 100's; 2 x 75's

add pull gear for:
*1 x 100 free fast, 400 free steady, 2 x 75's easy with middle length backstroke
*2 x 100's free fast, 300 free steady, 2 x 75's easy with middle length backstroke
*3 x 100's free fast, 200 free steady, 2 x 75's easy with middle length backstroke

600 straight (with or without pull gear): alternating 100 on, 100 off

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...
