As I said before I have this horrible competitive nature that makes me not want to compete because I only want to win, and I am not a good loser. So I have been going to Brisbane for about 4.5 months, and I like to gauge my progress on the others swimmers who come everyday. Now there are those that come, and swim for about half an hour and get out, and I am not sure that what they are doing is really swimming. I mean there is one woman who comes out in her tidy bathrobe and her hair all done up nicely gets in the pool and never ever puts her face in the water. She swims away with her head and hair held high. I mean that really takes a lot of work - really, but swimming? well lets just say I can out swim her.
But there is some that I don't even try to compete with yet because of two reasons - they are faster then me and they are much faster then me. I just hope that I don't get lapped too many times. But there is one person who I am trying really hard to catch, and I figure that he is about 3 to 4 seconds faster then me per lap, and I have been trying to catch him, but it just isn't working. But for the most part I know everyone by sight at the pool, though I no noone. So today was a new face and she was swimming about the same pace as the guy, and that really really bugged me, so today when my legged cramped I just got out of the pool instead of trying to work through it. I just couldn't take it anymore.
Anyway there is more to this story, but I am getting bored so maybe I will finish it later.

Even if you're bored, please finish the thoughts. Sheriff Mirkarmi would hit you with a BOARD.
ReplyDeleteLet's try to meet some of the folks - I can go with you & if I truly am as social as you say I am, maybe we can meet some folks. I can bring Tolar, and they'll go ah-cute-cute-cute (and not really very bright).
Go T3
