Rain Rain Stay Until Tomorrow

I'm a fan of swimming in the rain, but this morning somehow I slept right through my alarm and didn't get to swim during the storm. I plan to tomorrow morning, so I'm hoping it keeps thrumming down, but in the meantime, we had two great workouts yesterday and the day before that I want to make sure to get down (at least as much as I can remember of them):

Sunday
*warmup: 150 free, 50 quick
repeat 4x

add pull gear for (odd swims fast, even moderate):
*400, 300, 200, 100
300, 200, 100
200, 100
100

remove pull gear for:
2 x 500's done as 25, 25, 50, 50, 75, 75, 100, 100 with first one easy second one fast

Monday
*warmup: 250 free, 200 IM, 150 free, 100 kick, 50 free

*4 x 100's IM with floating 25 kick and a descend 1-4
*4 x 100's free with floating 25 kick and a descend 1-4

*4 x 25's kick in IM order, 100 IM, 4 x 25's kick free, 100 free
repeat twice

*I know there was more but it escapes me

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...
