"I hate swimmers!"
This was a comment I overheard at a triathlon that I competed in today. There was a group of triathletes discussing thier dislike of those of us that can swim. I just found it a interesting comment and wanted to see what others had to say about it.

I was at the 2-mile cable swim in Indy. It was a very good swim. Prior to the swim there was a mini-tri. Many of the swimmers made very negative remarks about the triaths. The guy who ran the swim made a negative comment over his blowhorn & many of the swimmers applauded. I found it really bad. Every outdoor distance swim I've ever gone to, I've heard people make negative comments about triaths. I really don't get it. I truly think that many on both sidesdon't like the other. I wonder if it is misunderstanding of the other. Both are competing for the same sort of time at the pool or what?
