Punishment and reward?

Today, each lane had a little sheet stuck to the wall which said "On time for practice? Yes or No" with one of the two circled. And for those who were not on time? An 8 x 25 fly set. For those who were? 8 x 25 fly (or choice.) Woods wondered to me just who is being punished and who is being rewarded? We all thought this was a little hypocritical, too, given we are ALL on deck when our coach walks in, of course talking intensely about swimming, or strategy for practice, and/or appropriate swimwear designs. Even Joel was on deck, but that is a matter for another day and another blog entry. :) So instead of kicking us all out of practice like other coaches might do, Bill pretended to be mad and gave us fly and kick sets. Don't you know you can catch more flys with honey, Bill?

Phew. That was hard to remember. Thankfully BB remembered it for me. Special thanks to Mike from the meat department at Whole Foods for buying me coffee this morning. It's the little things....
