In the 1956 Olympics we prepared to race, lots of training. Doctors, training experts, the works. Packed all our warm clothing and left it in Canada after all it was Australia the weather is hot. Little did we know that in Melbourn the weather was different than what we thought. The Japanese swimmers had Parkas. We were not prepared.
How do you get ready for the big event...
I have my rituals. Do you have any?

Well, y'all have inspired me. Figure'd I'd wait until this week to tell anyone here, though. I've signed up to compete at my first swim meet in 15 years. The meet is this Sunday, and I've signed up for the 50m free, 50m breastroke, and 100m breastroke. I may humiliate myself, but it will at least be over quickly. It's an LCM meet, and I've never swam in an LC pool before, so the adventure continues.
My ritual is going to consist of trying not to throw up before my events.....
