Hoo Rah!!

I don't know if that is how you spell it but that is how I am feeling after today's swim!! It was a dandy so far this year. We did a warm-up and some drills (of course) and then the main set was 4x200 meters descending pace with 30 seconds rest in between each 200. I had looked at the workout, checked out who was there and decided I could handle the top lane today. As for the 200s I did the first one on 3:05 the second on 3:00, the third on 2:50 and the 4th on just under 2:50. This was really good for me this early in the season! I kept on the feet of those guys, just barely on the last one, but it was a really good workout. I laughed after as one of them bugged me about not being so "chatty" during that set and I countered with it was because I couldn't breathe!! Next week the coach says we are doing a fitness test...assuming this will be a timed something or other. And to top the morning off, I went to Winners and found the COOLEST purse for cheap...a great day so far!!

Hoo Rah!! indeed.

Note to self: Do not piss off Kelly in the pool; you won't escape.

I've never done a 200 m timed test, but I suspect from my 100 m test that your times are clearly into hurl territory for me. And that would be such a pity cause they'd have to evacuate and drain the pool....
