There is a "no whining about event order" pledge,but this is more general so I thought I'd start a new thread.
I was thinking about the whining I had here to for done at meets and decided enough was enough.
I resolve not to whine about not being ready for the meet(inadequate training,inadequate taper,inadequate sleep,etc.)
I resolve to not whine about feeling sick,hurt,sore etc.
I resolve that no matter what I think about my swim,if someone says "good swim" I will graciously thank them.
This will probably make meets a better experience for all around me.
Does anyone else feel a need to make a pledge?
Is this another convoluted saying invented by distance swimmers?
Logically, something can be both bragging and true. Bragging is no less annoying than whining. Next you'll be bragging about not whining. Though having just caught out pwb, I will now be tracking and reporting all distance swimmer whining. I may have to create a "Lane" for that a la Ande.
I think it was invented by Bear Bryant and I don't think he was a swimmer. But, if he was a swimmer, he would have been a distance swimmer.
I would cut pwb a break. After all, he did go over to the whiny side of swimming for a while. He hasn't fully recovered from that and, thusly, is still shrouded in the deep and gloomy funk of wallsitteritis.
It would be fun to take non swimmers and figure if they were swimmers what they would be. For instance, George Costanza would be a sprinter clearly, along with Steve Urkel.
