So at the pool the other day the girl I talked about earlier (the heavy girl who swims fast) was there. She came in after I had been swimming and she started out swimming even with me, but then she did a flip turn and that of course is much faster then an open turn so she was off the wall before I could even turn around. But I would catch her at the end of the pool again, just to have her pull ahead of me again. This went on for a while, but she went on to do something else because I was doing 2 x 1000 and she was - well I don't know what she was doing.
But I was feeling pretty good. She wasn't wiping my butt on the floor pool anymore, so that was good. But then she put those darn flippers on, and she left me in the dust. I couldn't keep up and I was a bit disheartened.
But when I got done with my work out she was still in the locker room, so I made a comment about how tired I was, and she said she wasn't tired at all. It was all fun, I think she said play. So your speed comes naturally, you don't work out? I was really jealous then. I work out an hour a day sometimes longer and I am *not* the Queen of the swimming pool she swims what 20 minutes three days a week and she womps me? Okay it is the age thing I am sure. She looks to be in her mid to late thirties, so ...
I am not swimming for fitness. I am not swimming because I am using it to lose weight. I am not swimming because it makes me feel good afterwards. I swim because there is this lingering hope that someday I will be Queen and I will be womping everyone else.

Shall I call you Queen T3 or "She who must be obeyed"?
ReplyDeleteDo you think she'd like to visit my rifle range & change targets for us?
You have flippers too - try them on & see how you scoot. When she does a flip turn, you could make sure she doesn't surface, but that would not be nice.
You're still Queen of the GV pool.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. That is the athlete in you talking. That's why you will be Queen.
