Rest at the wall. Just kidding.

Oddly, just an hour later, all I can remember is the main set. Here goes:

100 IM, 2x75's free, 3x50's IM transitions, 4x25's anything you want, 3x50's IM transition, 2x75's free, 100 IM

After each swim, vertical kick with hands in the air until last person arrives. Then continue vertical kicking as a "family of kickers" (nice term, Tim) for an extra 10 seconds before shoving off.

Enjoy!

I think warm up was a 400 free, 200 kick choice and 100 IM. Then we did 4x100 IM where each time we kicked a different lap (first the fly length, then back, etc), followed by 4x100 free where we kicked each length to the 3rd blue line, preferably underwater. I think that was it before the pryamid. At the end we did that 3-5 seconds of kicking then swimming for a few laps. Then we did a 100 kick with the board for best time. Whew! I was ready for coffee and a shower after that!

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...
