Curiousity killed the cat-- but cats have 9 lives...?

Meh. I had to go training this morning even though I didn't tick it off as one of my sessions for the week. Heh. Why? Because our coach, John, asked me to write the program on the board while he talked to marcus about his events. So off I went merrily with the pad and the marker, and whaddya know? There's writing on the other side of the page. So, I flip over and 'lo and behold, it's tomorrow's program. It's also a mind-shattering 7k... in the morning.

So, I'm thinking, whew, it's a good thing I'm not swimming tomorrow morning, and I look at the afternoon. Oh! Only 6k, yay. So, I go to the room and John's got this look on his face and he says, "Did you look at any of the programs for tomorrow?" So, I think, heck, he knows I probably looked at one, so I say, yeah, just tomorrow morning, and what does he say? "Well, okay, then you'd better come in the morning" And despite my protesting that I didn't tick it off as one of my sessions, I'm forced to go. Oh well. 7k. Ugh.

Well, at least the afternoon wasn't so bad. Coach challenged Jeffrey to swim a 200 Fly time trial and if he swam below 2:15, he'd take 500m off our set and if he went below 2:10, he'd take 1k off our set. Jeffrey made the 2:10 cut by a little bit, but that was enough to save us from a 1k set with dragsuit and kickboard. Whew!
