How many degrees does it take...


I added up how many college and graduate degrees were swimming in lane 3 today. No, the degrees themselves were not wrapped in a ziploc and floating on a kickboard board or splashing and playing around on the blocks. It was the people swimming - 5 that I know of - who have 11.5 undergraduate, graduate, and terminal degrees combined. The half is because one is still in progress. In any case, it's a crazy group of smarty pants. So when we finished the set today, it was comical that none of us could add up how much we did. I don't even know what new math is, but we could have used some old math at that point. After a grueling 5 minutes of back and forth we figured it out. Phew. Now people can go back to saving lives and changing the world.

6 x 50 alternate drill/swim on :15r
200 free stretch out
6 x 50 going breast drill, breast, back drill, fly drill, back, fly
5 x 100 count strokes/free descend on 1:55
400 going breath weak side, bilateral, strong side, every 9 by 50 and repeat
1000 for time
100 easy

That is 2700 for the record. Good job BB leading the 1000. All that pizza, bratwurst, and beer from last night fueled you well.
