300 warmdown

what a strange practice. first, mr. olympics swam again today, so the first part of the main set was a sprint to avoid getting lapped on the 200's. then, devin kept trying to lead the lane but he couldn't remember what the set was or what intervals to go on. it was getting really frustrating because he would stop/go and it was messing up the intervals for the rest of us. finally, on the last round i got so upset that i just told him that i was going first even if it meant holding him back. stupid boys and their testosterone! good thing i was actually feeling somewhat good today and could hold on. all of my 200's were between 2:10 and 2:15, which i was happy about. it must have been that afternoon cup of coffee and frustration :)

one strange thing i have noticed is that since i have cut way back on my caffeine intake, i can't get myself up early in the mornings to workout before coaching. i feel better during the day because i don't have the high/low spikes, but my workouts have definitely been affected. it's made me realize just how sleep-deprived i was making myself.
