Goodbye Childhood

Well, yesterday the news was just shocking, and today I'm saying goodbye to a big part of my childhood: Michael Jackson. I can't get enough of the stories about what people of our generation remember from their adolescence related to MJ, so leave a story if you still have energy after that brutal fin workout this morning, please.

*warmup: 500 straight: 5 free, one kick, 4 free, one kick, 3 free, one kick, 2 free, one kick, and of course one and one.

add fins for:

*200 done as 50 dolphin on back, 50 flutter on back rotating
*100 strong free
*50 floaty backstroke (unless you are behind Lanshin, when nothing with fins is "floaty")
repeat 3x

*200 done as 50 kick with head out of water, 50 kick on side, 50 arms out of water, 50 kick on side
*100 easy breaststroke with dolphin kick
*50 strong butterfly
repeat 3x

RELAYS!

The first concert I ever went to was The Jackson 5, led by a young Michael Jackson, when I was 10 years old.

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...
