Mex Prep


Okay, so I'm going to Mexico soon and I cannot wait. Logging a lot of swimming before then, and also logging a lot of candy eating and World Series watching. Here are some recent workouts, and the obligatory Halloween photo of the kids.

Saturday (Halloween)
The suit made its debut and yards were swum: 4300, if my counting was right.

Sunday
Brutal post-Halloween soccer game

Monday
One of those workouts where sets sound easy but are hard because of the mixing of IM and freestyle. Too hard to remember the actual sets. But if you haven't gotten the point yet, hard.

Today
*warmup: 125 free, 25 back, 125 free, 50 back, 125 free, 75 back, 125 free, 100 back
add fins for:
*2 x 700's done as 200, 50, 150, 50, 100, 50, 50, 50
first 700 50's are kick with two arms out of the water
second 700 50's are kick with one bottom of the pool touch per length
*2 x 500's done with 2 lengths fly, 2 lengths kick with board, 2 lengths underwater, and 4 lengths in 2 other lanes besides your own (chaos)
*3 x 100's free without fins to finish

For Heidi

I was nervous about visiting Heidi. I remembered her as an always upbeat, caring person who lit up the locker room at 5:45am and made me glad I had gotten out of bed. I knew she took great trips, and lived actively. I knew how happy she was about her son's marriage. Beyond that, I figured I didn't know her very well. I never saw her outside of Burgess, and I consider her a teammate and acquaintance, more than a dear friend. That said, thanks to the environment Tim has created, we teammates at Burgess definitely feel like a part of something bigger - a family, a support system, something. But as Sunday drew near, I considered the fact that I felt a chest cold arriving, and that I would have to depart from my children (who I see too little during the week) for hours to go visit her in San Leandro. I wondered what I would say to her and around her. I wondered if she'd even care to see me. And I almost didn't go. I will forever be glad that I went. And I encourage every one
