"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 did an open water swim hosted by a triathlon group a few years ago. I was a little overweight at the time, and didn't look anywhere near as fit as most of the other participants. Same with the lead swimmer (I was second out of the water behind the other "swimmer." Anyway, the very fit looking triathletes (who all wore full wetsuits) looked at the two of us "swimmers" in disbelief, as if we were magical. We didn't look all that fit, but we blew everyone else away by about five minutes. It was fun.
