Monday: Swim

So last evening our internet was down, and honestly, I wish it had been the indoor plumbing.  I was so sad to deny the internet population the opportunity to hear about yesterday's church attendance, grocery store trip, and shortened swim practice.  I forgot to take my tiramisu out of the freezer, so I had to take it to my Superbowl party still somewhat frozen.  I spent most of the night chasing Ivan, and I ingested a whole bunch of guacamole.  I did not watch any of the superbowl.

Today, the internet is up and I am absolutely ready to give you the 411 on my day.  Sloan the Younger is a champion of good behavior lately and getting to swim was SO easy today.  We were there on time, I was not the last one in the pool.  I swam 3900 meters, and I am a champion!!!

Swim workout as follows:
  • 400 swim
  • 200 kick
  • 5 x 200 swim @ 3:30
  • 8 x 25 fast swim @ :30
  • 3 x 100 swim descend @ 1:45
  • 6 x 25 fast swim @ :30
  • 3 x 100 swim descend 0@ 1:45
  • 4 x 25 fast swim @ :30
  • 6 x 75 kick/drill/swim 20 second rest
  • 400 pull
  • 200 swim
  • 300 kick
This was really exciting and though I am enjoying my new smaller tighter suits from  Splish, there is no gapping of the swim suit,which I like, but today my chest straps chafed uncomfortably and I wondered about the wisdom of sizing down. 

On the way home, we stopped for a a balloon and a cookie to reward such great behavior from Young Sloan, we forwent a nap as the crib tent has not arrived yet.  

Oooooh Friends, Have I told you the saga of the crib tent???  Get ready.  I will tell you tomorrow.  It is epic!!
