Ice Ice Baby

I was able to defrost my windshield this morning (dashboard read 31 degrees) by the time I arrived at the pool. I was shocked to return to my car an hour and fifteen minutes later and find the windshield completely re-frozen. Helloooooo, God? This is CALIFORNIA. I know that seasons are pretty and all, but really when I'm prancing around outside an outdoor pool at 5:45 in the morning, in the dark, in nothing but a shiny bathing suit, I'd like a little balminess, okay?

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.

This whole buoy buttering is exactly why I never, ever, use a buoy. It drives me...
