Busy

Things are fun and sunny and busier than I could have ever imagined. The kids and I have taken up skateboarding (my new board should arrive tomorrow just in time for more rain, booooo!), we have soccer and baseball (at least 4 games per weekend), allergy shots 2x a week, my company's launch quickly approaching (day after Mother's Day), my son's birthday, Mother's Day, school winding down (lots of "parent participation" activities going on there...not so pleased about watching the wedding of "Q" and "U" at my son's Kindergarten class this week, wtf???), and of course the upcoming family wedding that all 4 of us are in and requires two trips back east in the next 8 weeks. Phew!!!!!!!!!!! Swimming's a breeze, I tell ya.

*warmup: 300 free, 3x100's stroke to free, 3x50's kick
add fins for:
*4 x 400's every other length drill
remove fins for:
*100 drill, 75 kick, 50 regular swim, 25 sprint

Oxygen Depletion

I hate fins. Why, as a soccer player, I can't kick or use my legs in the pool, I don't know. But I can't kick. I seem to go backwards when no fins are on my feet, and I feel like my lungs are going to explode when I do use fins. Go figure. Today I'm also losing my left big toenail, which is always a fun sensation while finning. *warm up: 300 free, 200 back to breast, 100 kick, 50 strong add fins for: *3 x 50's free on TIGHT interval (35 s) 150 recovery *3 x 100's free on TIGHT interval (1:10) 150 recovery *3 x 150's on TIGHT interval 150 recovery *3 x 200's on TIGHT interval remove fins for: *150 easy *2 x 50's hard repeat 2x

A Mile of Butterfly

No, this is not what we did this morning (thank G-d). But I have to give kudos where kudos are due, to Frances and Peter (and if there was someone else someone please enlighten me) for doing a mile of butterfly at the Rinconada meet on Saturday. Rebecca Pinto likes to call this meet the Rinky Dink Meet but, as I'm sure she would agree, there's nothing dinky about 1650 yards of butterfly. Frances and Peter both completed the event in less than 30 minutes. That's about 4 days and 23.5 hours less than swimming a mile of fly would take me. I'm in awe. Here's what we did this morning: *300 free followed by 2x25 kick *300 free followed by 2x50 quick free ~ All free, all broken in half for 2-5 seconds to check time and try to match split on second half. (Interval for Lane 2, on 1:30 base): *1x400 *2x300 *3x200 *4x100 ~ *3x100 on the 1:35, 1:25, 1:20, trying to match pace for all three *3x100 on the 1:35, 1:25, 1:20, trying to match pace for all three ~ *4x25 fast free with
