12/30/03 CCB Masters Twelve Sets of Christmas
When I was in Ohio for Christmas, the Masters group that I swim with did a 5:15 am “Christmas-Eve” practice. It was written by Reg Kramer, with help from Barth Smith. It may look easy on paper, but several of the sets are tough because of the short sendoff. This seemed like a perfect practice for the CCB Masters team this morning, since most of us have not been swimming regularly over the holiday. Have fun with it!
