1. After nearly 7 months of hardcore swimming, I am finally coming to the realization that soreness, fatigue, and generally feeling like laying down on the kitchen floor and taking a nap every moment of the day just comes with the territory of intense swim workouts.
2. Most swimming sets will look like they totally suck when written on the whiteboard. You will react to almost all of them with a "WTF??! Um Coach I think you wrote the intervals wrong..." Hint hint: Those intervals ain't wrong, girl.
3. The best way to get through said swimming sets is to focus only on the portion of the set you are doing at the moment. For a gnarly set of 4x150 descending, just focus on the 150 you are doing. It makes the pain a lot easier to handle, and just like no one likes thinking "20 more miles to go!" during a marathon, who really wants to think "Oh hey only 450 more yards to go!!"?
4. If you only get an average of 30 hours of sleep per week, taking that Echinacea isn't going to stave off the cold forever. Yes, I have the sniffles, Yes I am still going to run. Haven't you heard of a Nedi Pot?!
5. Flavored almonds are the most fantastic invention of all time.
6. When in doubt, put butter on your bagel. PB&J on Chocolate chip... not the same.
