Substitute teacher

When I was a kid and walked into class and saw a sub, I knew the day would be easy. The sub always used to ask us what we were doing and we usually did a "review" of stuff we already knew. The sub also seemed nervous most of the time. Not so with our sub today, Seb. He was there at 6am on deck waiting for the throngs of morning swimmers. And waiting. By 6:25 the only lane with anyone swimming was lane 4 (now lane 2) with Woods, Mo, and Smokin' J. Can you say teachers pets? SB and I contemplated our situation for awhile, with Steve using big french words like maillot jaune trying to impress. But eventually the pool filled in and we were in for a tough one. Seb didn't get the memo from Bill to give us easy intervals. But it was great.

Surprisingly, a great workout. I liked the tight 150s, it made us work. Hillary did a great job leading. We'll get her ready to go back to college!! The only weird moment was when Seb made Steve get out and write on the white board "I will not use my bouy on every set" twenty times. We even got a homework assignment: write a 500 word essay on why we are late every day.

A gorgeous, hot, sunny summer day today. Enjoy!
