I swam this morning and having had three days rest I was stronger then I am when I don't have any days rest. So I got in and started swimming. The guy who is a regular was there and swimming his usual mile, and in the past he lapped me, so I had thought that he was going about 1:30, but I found he is not that fast. I just was that slow. Before I started I timed his 50 and actually was doing more like 50/55, so I thought I would let him pace me. I soon found out that I was faster, and then he stopped. Annoying when your pacer quits on you. But he didn't fool me. He let me get a head and took off, so I just made sure I passed him at the same place every time. Ha!!!
The the girl with the flippers got in. She was way faster then me when I started out. I think I talked about her before, and so I paced myself with her. But she couldn't keep up, so she stopped and let me get a head too. (I am sure they were stopping because the had finished up there set - but can anyone say ego?)
However, when she finished up she said you have been working really hard haven't you. Yes/no/maybe. It is LZ's coaching, your stroke is looking really strong. Yes it is LZ's coaching. Maybe I can drum up some business for LZ. See start off really slow work with LZ and you might become queen (or king) of the community pool.
It is kind of like losing a lot of weight. No one pays any attention to you when you are slower then molasses but the minute you start showing some skill then everybody wants to be your friend.
