Nice or not?

That was the question that Kevin, BB, and I pondered on the pool deck this morning. The question was are all swimmers nice, or do nice swimmers attract other nice swimmers? We could not make a sweeping statement that all swimmers on the planet were nice, because some of us had experiences in high school or college that prove otherwise. However, we did think that a place like MIT attracts similar-minded people who choose this community because it is a community. Otherwise, we would be happy swimming by ourselves. Maybe we just got lucky at MIT Masters, but my experience on other teams is that people are pretty darn nice. Discuss amongst yourselves, because I have a workout to post!

100 WU on own (or, as Bill describes, it is like rats scurrying into the pool when he walks on deck)
3 x 200 series of drill/stroke/swim
300 kick or pull or combo
2 x 50 stroke on 1:05
4 x 50 free on :60
6 x 50 stroke on 1:05
4 x 50 free on :60
2 x 50 stroke on 1:05
3 times thru:
150 pull on 2:40
50 easy
3 x 50 descend
50 easy pull

It was a fine workout, not my favorite. But I have to mention that we have a new lanemate, C2, who is in college and thus half our age. So we were feeling pretty darn good about ourselves when we found out she was a college swimmer. Let's face it, you take the highs when you can people!
