What fantastic, diabolical, all-energy-systems-exhausting swims do you have planned for New Year's Day breakdown/throwdown? Or, if you come to the thread later, what workout did you do?
I'll be crafting my own, and will seek appropriate inspiration here!

Hey Kristin,
Well, I of course got this information from a couple of the national team gals who have been swimming with Chris for the past 2 years. So take this info with a grain of salt although I must say that locker room gossip is often right on.
Was told that Chris likes to start the New Year off right by doing the 100x100s. This year could be different of course, but evidently for the past 2 years, National/ Senior have done this together as a group. 100x100s - mix of drills, free, different strokes and some fast stuff (over 50% of it fast - that scares me?!)
I recommend not to tell him anything. Just jump right in. BTW, masters did 60x100 a couple of years ago and I did not find it to be bad at all. . .
Ah, would make sense, considering that practice is from 7-10. Just about the right amount of time for 10K LCM. I'll keep my mouth shut, and will hope that he gains a sense of accomplishment when it's over. I did tell him that we'd get his choice of bagels or donuts afterwards.
Actually, 60x100 doesn't sound all that bad... I was planning on doing my own 50x100 SCM at the gym during your practice tomorrow!
