Where's Pat?

The build up started on Monday, when BB said that Pat was going to be in town and would swim with us Wednesday. Then yesterday, again BB said "I can't be there, but Pat will." Even last night when E asked if I was swimming I said "yes, and Pat will be there!" We talked for awhile about how he's a little fast for us but what the heck, we're good company. So there we were this morning, ready to greet Pat with open arms and you can guess the rest of this sad story. Pat never showed. Bill walked on deck and said "where's Pat?" All I know is that someone has some 'splainin to do. But the upside is that E, IW, and I had a great workout!

5 x 100 various kick, drill, swim, stroke on :20r
1 x 800 do an open turn at 600 and get time on 2:00r
1 x 600 do an open turn at 400 get time. Go faster than time in 800 on 1:30r
1 x 400 do an open turn at 200 get time. Go faster than split in 600
1 x 200 do an open turn at 100 get time. You know the deal. on :30r
1 x 100 wicked fast
10 x 50 going:
1-4 on :50
5-7 on :60
8-9 on :1:10
10 on 1:20

You had to think during this workout, and ultimately it was a distance descend set. The key was to go easy on the first 800 and then slowly descend each of the splits in the remaining set. Great workout. Nice job to all.

Health tip of the day: When the sign on the door says "teaching pool closed due to circumstances beyond our control" steer clear of the teaching pool. That is ususally code for someone having an accident in the pool. Think Caddyshack.
