As I crawled back into the pool today fat and out of shape, I wondered: Don't sprinters need some minimal aerobic work? I see that Ande is doing none whatsoever and Paul advises not "fighting fat" in the pool. I do a lot of race pace training and cross training. But still, is just a little aerobic work called for? I can tell I don't need any for 50s, but my 100s could use a little something. I don't think I have the substantial swimming aerobic base that people like Ande have because I was out of the pool for so many years .. So I'm either taking my 100s out too slow for fear of dying or actually dying. Does aerobic work help counter this? Or do I need more lactate work such as doing 100s with huge amounts of rest?

Today was a day of rest. I did however make it over to the swim up bar and have my usual nutritious health power drinks. I think that girl in the bikini sitting at swim up bar was (S)he-man what a lovely tan what a big margarita she was holding. I think I also saw Fort a little short lady on crutches who was sneezing.
Paul called me out. I'm really a closet sprinter who skips practices completely in lieu of posing for the camera and concocting ridiculous distance fly sets - none of which I ever really do. In fact, George has run into me quite a few times while I'm sipping margaritas poolside and taunting the distance swimmers.
Today's real practice (as written by Paul) was:
1x200 Warm Up w/ Noodle
4x25 @ 60 minutes
3x Margaritas
I think Fort may well have some ailments. Although she has an aversion towards moose, she doesn't mind being the underdog. :D
