Well... the water was freezing, so sometimes you have to abandon a regular workout plan, and improvise to keep people moving.
Recovery Set after New Year's Day Mega Set
Our Masters team did a big set on New Year's Day (100 swims on 1:15), so today was a recovery day with no sendoffs and lots of swimming with FINS
Veterans Day Swim Practice
In remembrance of Armistice Day (11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month) and in honor of those who serve or have served their country, here's a practice that combines something for each branch of the military. Coaches are the Coast Guard!

February 17-18, 2010 Morning Practice - Doubles?
I have to be honest, I swam twice yesterday, and once this morning... and can't remember much of what I did.
February 16, 2010 Morning Practice - Free, free, free
This morning's practice did allow me to continue to work on my standard pace... which is always good.
February 15, 2010 Morning Practice - Just doing time
With all the snow, the normal pool was closed again today, so I had to venture to the local Y to put some time in.

I almost feel like I may be able to start categorizing these practices as Gold... but not yet.
February 9, 2010 Morning Practice
Loved the pool this morning. First time it was turned the other direction. It was the same distance, but it was nice to be swimming the other way. Small changes make me happy. :)
February 8, 2010 Morning Practice - Dig out and Swim
With over 20 inches of snow on the ground, just getting to the pool this morning was a chore.
