Hippity Hoppity...where do I even begin??
Some days I have no material from the morning, but then there are days like today where I must ask "where oh where do I start"? Let's start with our coach, who is alive and well and simply had a mechanical malfunction this morning. We all think you needed a day off anyway! It did not take long for each lane to rally, though, so each lane did something different. I will put as many down as possible so you loyal readers who like the workouts get bonus workouts today!
Lane 3 - Carmen came up with this workout

After swim some of us went to get breakfast. IW disappeared into the little grocery store and came out holding two 12 packs of caffeinated beverages (see photo above, courtesy BB). I think he uttered something about needing caffeine after that workout. But please!
For those who celebrate the season, Happy Easter and Passover to you. Enjoy this beautiful day and all of the wonderful things that Spring brings us!
