i have been reading a lot of the posts herein.... and it has occurred to me... (and this will surely betray my newbie-ness) there are an awful lot of abbreviations and terms used that leave me essentially having no clue what was said.... is there a book out there someplace "swimese for dummies" or the like? i speak several languages, sadly swimese is not yet among them.....
i can swim two miles comfortably, and have energy left over after to go run three miles... but decode the posts on this board?....
any reference/resource suggestions gladly accepted...
thanks.
be,

saw a post that said 2 x 600 on 11:00.... dug around and got it translated ( i think ) and dang near died laughing... it takes me 12:00 to go 600..... so does that mean my RI is -1:00....
That's exactly right, Jim. If you are swimming 12:00 on an 11:00 interval, you are in the red for each 600. You'd better stop the set or you'll be so far into interval debt that even your credit cards will look clean. When that happens to me I just move to the next slower lane, unless I'm already against the wall.
