From the depths of page 19, my rants:
3. The recreational swimmer who "races" me for one lap while I'm in the middle of a set of 10X200. They do one lap, furiously slapping the water and then rest up for fifteen minutes.
.
I loved this one; this happens to me all the time especially when I am in the middle of hour number 2 of swimming and some fella gets in and "races" me on a 25. He stops and I just keep on going.
Here's one more: the triathletes I lake swim with think they need wetsuits right now because the water is 79 degrees! I just tell them they are being wimps. And sure enough, 10 minutes into swimming they are no longer cold. They have a sprint triathlon this Sunday and are going to buy wetsuits. I just shook my head; their transition time is going to cost them getting out of that thing before the bike. :dunno:
