Summah is ovah


Not literally, we know that officially happens in mid-September, or for many after Labor Day. But for all intents and purposes, for us distance swimmers, it is over. The pool changed to short course yards from long course meters. While there was glee in the locker room for most, it was a sense of gloom and doom for some of us who love the smooth, not-interrupted-by-walls water. But it's interesting that all of a sudden I realized how dark it was this morning, or how much colder the pool felt, or how much I stink at flip turns. But Bill snapped some of us out of our short course funk by this workout. KBB, I missed the last set so please fill us in.
