How embarrassed do you feel for getting out before the workout is over if you don't feel well? This evening, I was at practice for my new team and I was swimming so poorly that I got bumped down a lane. Then, I began to feel even worse, so finally I just got out at one hour and went home. Now that I feel a bit better, I'm totally mortified for not finishing. Extenuating circumstance: I'm new to this team and am very slow compared to them--normally I swim in lane 2. So I'm always a little embarassed jsut for being slow.
In masters
it's NOT AT ALL embarassing to get out early
from any practice
at any time
for any reason.
same goes with arriving late.
Though it probably would be embarrassing if you had gastric issues, visibly tainted a lane and caused the entire pool to evacuate and get scrubbed like the pool scene in "Caddy Shack"
it's great that you showed up and did something
we all live lives beyond swimming
people get out early all the time for a whole host of reasons from
business meetings, not feeling well, not wanting to do a set, tapering and not needing to do a set.
when you need to leave,
walk up to the coach and say I need to leave, thank you for the practice, and walk out
OK USMS Boarders:
What's the flimsiest reason you ever got out of practice early for?
