Water Brute
At last, today the water made that "clash" sound during my solo swim practice. The swim coach had advised women tend to not want to "hurt the water," causing a weak arm reach into the water. No sound. Today, I imagined myself as my swim coach, Robert, whose arms brutally hit the water. No grace, just sheer, brute force. Well at least that's what it looks like to me.
I swam 1,000 yards with 10 seconds rest every 100 yards. That's 2/3 the distance I have to swim on race day. With the Open Water factor, I have to train to swim 2,000 yards comfortably.
On another note, today's spring time. I didn't have to walk into the night to the gym this morning and I wish I hadn't left my sunglasses at home because the sun's mighty bright.
Perfect day to get back to a, cleaner/leaner lifestyle. I've decided to "stop" caffeine until Friday - I've over-indulged and it's time to let it go for a while in order to enjoy it when it's back in my life.

allright...docks are in today at 900, and we kick off the rowing season with some tight 3 x 15 min pieces. You should train open water swimming on the passaic river as we row along. It builds character.
What's with the no alcohol rule by the way? I have had several discussions about this. Matt Pinsent claims to not have had a drop in 8 years until the gold in athens. My college coach made us go dry every season and I hated it, but I drink a Genny after every practice, and have found no impairment at all. I think they put the rule in place for people that cannot drink without getting wasted.
Anyway. The one rule I do obey religiously is no sex 36 hours before a competition. This is very important...you gotta be pissed off at the start.
Glad to greet you, ladies and gentlemen!
