Early Easter




Yesterday was a good day. Had a great soccer game (and even scored a goal - DAMN that feels good!), watched my kid play a game, then had an early Easter celebration with my mom and my adorable nieces (and their parents). As you can see, we got some time in the "mini pool" and also hiking on the gorgeously green hills in the East Bay.

Lovely day. But my legs are sore. And darn this morning's fin workout.

*warmup: 300 free, 100 back, 200 free, 100 back

with fins:
*2 x 300's; 2 x 225's; 2 x 125's; 2 x 75's
split each swim evenly as 7 kick switch, 5 kick switch, 3 kick switch
first one of each length freestyle, second back

with pull gear:
*fast 100, 25 easy, fast 75, 25 easy, fast 50, 25 easy, fast 25, 25 easy
*repeat 2x, first with free, second with back

with no gear:
*4 x 25's fast free
*50 easy

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.

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.

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...
