I keep thinking that we miss a great sponsorship opportunity when the pool changes from short course to long course. Everyone complains of muscle soreness, shoulder stress, or general emotional anxiety from the switch from 25 yards to 50 meters. Even those of us who love long course are not immune to the negative effects of the changeover, particularly when it seems our intervals are essentially the same (ahem!). I can envision some pharmaceutical rep with his/her big suitcase full of legal, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs chatting up coach Bill during the workout and keeping a keen eye on those swimmers who appear to be wincing as the meters add up. I really can't think of a more receptive audience. Case in point, it was a 600mg day for me today.
