My team, Rockwall Aquatic Masters is having a long course meet on 6th July and I am actively trying to convince team mates to sign up. On my blog I was describing my disappointment that more of my team mates had not signed up. One commenter posted the following, "Why do they have to participate? I have more fun going to practice than I do meets. I don't find meets fun anymore." I guess I had assumed that most people enjoy meets and I found it strange that my team mates did not want to sign up. This got me thinking and I wondered why people compete or don't compete? Any thoughts?
Our coach in Irving is trying to get a gang of us to go to a meet later this summer. I haven't done one since I was 19 and that was well over 20 years ago (not saying how much more though... LOL!) I'm really excited since all I've done since then is OW swims. I'm nervous and excited, but sooo ready to compete. I love a good push from other people and the energy. Looking forward to the new challenge and getting to meet some other pool peeps.
