Spring Break

Spring Break is here and it's time for all the working parents of school-aged kids to scramble to find coverage. Exciting! I am getting to take off for 3 days this week to hit Tahoe (first time ever for my kids actually), and that should be fun (except the missing swimming part). Speaking of missing swimming, I slept through Friday's practice and couldn't bring myself to endure a three hour intrasquad meet on Saturday, so today felt GOOD after three days off.

warmup: 400 free, 100 kick, 100 IM, 100 fast

*500 kick (YUUUUUUUUUGH!)

Add pull gear for:

*600, 300, 150

Remove pull gear for:

*11 x 100's on the 1:25 but see how many you can make on the 1:20 (all of them in our lane, whoohooo!)

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...
