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?
I saw you while you were swimming and a friend, who spoke to you before one of your races, told me it was your first ever meet. I thought you did great!! I'm glad you had fun at the meet. It was a goo done to start off with, too. Such an amazing pool. I hope we see you at more meets in the future.
Thanks! You'll have to introduce yourself sometime. I could have done better, not as healthy as I once was. I'm just glad I didn't DQ and had fun. Besides, I learn something, make new friends, and exercise. Maybe get a piece of bling or two. Doesn't get much better than that!
