Why you shouldn't hang out with me during swim practice, either.

I don't know how many of you swim.
I don't know how many of those of you that swim do butterfly.
But I do know that this will horrify you if you do.

Normally, my coach is awesome. However, we have a new assistant coach. While Jason is *almost* as cool as Jay, he's nowhere near as sympathetic. Anywise, it was Jason that was overseeing the butterfly lane last night.
the set was...
10xvertical fly kick, arms up, 45sec. on, 15 sec. off.
6x25 underwater recovery fly, on 40 sec.
6x25 fly drill, on 40 sec.
20 (yeah, 20)x50 fly, on 60 sec.

My triceps have been sore since Thursday. On Friday they got worse. Monday, I had pretty much nothing but tricep work in dryland, so they were hurting pretty bad even before practice. As you can imagine, the butterfly pretty much killed me.

After practice, Jay started handing out quotes (we have a quote of the week, which we each get a copy of.) The following conversation ensued.

Jay: guess what today's quote is? it applies to the workout
Me: "Blessed be the hellishly burning triceps, for they shall receive inadequate amounts of painkillers?"
Jay: Actually, its "Everything is hard before it is easy."
Me: Breathing was easy a few hours ago.
Jay: Oh, come on, we have to get ready for that 200 fly!
( please note that I've only once swam a 200 fly, and it was not a good experience.)
Jason: that's right
Me: Next time we go through that set, you can swim it and think about how much this will help your 200 fly, and I'll sit on the block and say "Aw, come on, only 19 left! keep your recovery up!"

10 minutes later, in the locker room...

Breastrokers: wow, that was a tough practice...
Backstrokers: I hope we don't have to do that again anytime soon
Me: Moan. Groan. Whimper.
