It's not how you start...


...but how (and if) you finish. So SB gets the gold star today for staying for the entire workout! I am not sure which phenomenon surprises me more - Joel getting in before the warmup or SB staying until the end. In any case, we did a lot of yards today and this adage was also helpful in thinking about the entirety of the workout, saving some fuel for the end.

4 x 25 swim
150 swim
4 x 25 swim
150 swim
8 x 25 fly
2 x 500 swim on 7:30
400 IM break at 100 for :10
300 swim on 4:15
300 going 100 stroke, 100 free, 100 stroke on :30r
300 pull on 4:15
300 going 100 stroke, 100 free, 100 stroke on :30r
12 x 25 4 on :30, 4 on :35, 4 on :40

Kind of a weird workout, but it worked. Steady pace on the 500s, keep it for the 400IM and then work the 300s. In some ways we don't know what is coming next so you have to hold back a bit when you know it's distance day. Woods got a little fresh today (yeah, Mo, it's true!) when his leg "accidentially" found its way into our lane and somehow touched E. Some things are accidental, others suspect. We'll give you a free pass this one, but I pity you if it happens again...please don't ever say we didn't warn you. :)
