Calling in the troops

I had no idea that E was so upset about what happened earlier in the week with Woods touching her leg. But apparently she was upset enough to mobilize all of the MIT ROTC troops to the pool today, in full gear. They surrounded the pool, and let me tell you Woods was swimming with some anxiety. But he was not nearly as anxious as some of the guys who came on deck in their flowered/multi-colored or otherwise fashion-oriented speedos. There is probably a no more emasculating experience then to stand next to a military man in full gear while you are in your fancy speedo. I have to say it was kind of funny. But it certainly made those men swim fast!

4 x 100 swim on :20r
4 x 50 descending breath, 9, 7, 5, 3
2 x 150 pull, middle 100 stroke
6 x 50 middle of the pool 50s working turns
8 x 150 pace on 2:20
100 easy
4 x 150 (we pulled) on 2:15
100 easy
2 x 150 fast on 2:10
100 easy

BTW, it was SNOWING this morning, albeit briefly. Nice job by all today. And while we were swimming, the ROTC students were jumping off of the diving board and treading water in full gear. Hats off to all of them!!!
