Fighting to be the caboose
It was definitely a Monday morning, and Lane 3 was well represented. The funny part was that other lanes had one, maybe two people in them while we were trying to cram five or six of us into our lane rather than dividing ourselves amongst the other lanes. Why? Because nobody wanted to lead. The whole "not it" sign just doesn't work when everyone in the lane is doing it. So we had a couple of choices. One, we could hang on the wall until we all got so cold that someone would have to lead. Two, get out and shower. Or three, look for another option. I saw an opening with Bill G. who was swimming alone, so I ducked under the lane line taking C with me. So Bill got company, I got to follow, and C didn't have to lead. Of course IW was none too pleased but swam so strong that it didn't matter.
300 on own
6 x 50 drill/kick combo
8 x 50 fly/back
4 x 75 build on 1:15
4 x (3 x 175) going:
odds 150 swim, open turn, 25 easy on 2:35 (descend within the three)
evens 150 hard, open turn, 25 easy on 2:45
4 x 50 underwater swim, easy by 25
Doesn't look like a lot, does it? But it's 3700 yards! Not bad for a Monday!
