Birthday swim!

Happy birthday to Cyndy North who is 40! In celebration, Erin and I and our fellow mom-swimmers from the "Slow-is-the-New-Fast" club did 40 x 100's yesterday. We mixed up free, descendings, drills, stroke work, and finished with 100 fly. It wasn't all pretty, and it was long, and our fingers were prune-y, but we did it! Sadly, our group keeps getting older and these workouts keep getting longer.
I say we start celebrating with 75's...

Could be worse. You could be knitting 40 rows or something lame like that.

40x100s? Now you make my after school workout of 3200 feel wimpy...
Great way to celebrate getting older though! (AND better!)

Wow! I don't think people who are "slow" can even complete 40x100. I helped my friend celebrate her 40th last year by going to watch her do a half IM...I was really happy celebrating on the sidelines!
