Alright, so I guess I started swimming about 4.5 years ago. Posted here about it. Doubt anyone other than Elaine recalls, and just her because it turned out that she and 67QueenMum are friends, and she lives in my hometown!
At any rate, had been hoping to do a meet for a while, but things just kept happening. Then last year when COVID hit, I took up open water swimming. And since I never had a good situation to train with a team, I kept at the open water stuff because I liked the people. Decided I'd do the 10K swim the locals host, the Bridges to Bluffs swim. Coming into this year, I had 3 goals. I just BARELY missed two of them. LIke by one minute for each of those (absolute time, and a person I wanted to beat). Crushed the third goal. Anyway, this was the first competition I have done in almost 30 years, when I was in high school. Frist swimming competition in over 35, as I quit swimming at about age 11.
Anyway, I finally did a competition. Wasn't a pool competition, but I did one. And am very happy with how it went.
