I've been working out with the age group/high school team in the mornings. I'm off this week so I didn't have to leave practice early to go to work. Went 5000 yards--the last time I did that Jimmy Carter was in the White House. Overall felt pretty good. Swam some fly, went 6:05 for a 500 free at the end of a distance set. Disclaimer--it took me two years to work up to this.

  • I see I need to elaborate on my highly evolved theory. (1) Always round up. 2025 = 3 beers. Hint: Save enough energy to do the last 25 fly and apply Rule 2 below for the third beer. (2) Fly = 2 for 1 if the beers are lagers or pilsners, only 1.5 for 1 for ales, and 1.25 for 1 for stouts. "X Lite" (sic), or anything else that comes packaged in a 24 pack suitcase of cans, does not constitute beer, so don't ask. (3) It's OK if you forget how many beers you had the night before. Just try harder to remember next time and swim an extra 25 in warmup as penance. Warning: This theory was only developed after years of semi-professional beer guzzling. As said elsewhere, your mileage may vary. Considerably.
