Okay, I got my first FSII kneeskin the mail.
Aside from the sides being silver see-through, does anyone else (I guess this would apply more to females than males but I could be wrong) feel like He-Man's twin sister in this get up? I've enjoyed the FSII Recordbreaker (female swim suit) and this is my first knee skin. I didn't want the full body skin as I swim lots of IM and breaststroke.
I don't expect to look great when I get up on the block. . . should I just look at it as I'll scare away all my competition. . .
Talk about doing what it takes to swim fast. I think I'll NOT invite my husband to the meet.

Kristina,
I'm right there with you....I haven't been able to swim much lately either. My mother had to have a cardiac cath and angioplasty Monday. Thank God she is doing well and came home yesterday afternoon. I've had a stomach virus for the last week....fun. I've also been pretty upset about Bob. His death kind of puts life in perspective doesn't it? I'm entered in the meet this weekend....not sure what i'm going to do. I might just go and swim the 50 and 100 free and maybe 100 IM and some fun relays. I'm not expecting PB's....I just want to have fun. If I get a PB that will be icing on the cake.
Beth, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom, but I'm pleased that she's doing well. Please know that she and you are both in my prayers. If you're going to the meet, I'll be sure to attend as well and we'll keep eachother strong! You know how I mumble, "Think positive" during the practices! We can shout it from the rooftops at the meet. And how can I forget our singing during one of Kim's killer sets,
Hurts so good!
Sometimes my stroke don't feel like it should!
Hurts so good!
Bob's death was a devastating blow for me as well. Yes, it was frightening, scary, sad, to see this seemingly healthy, fit man collapse during practice.:confused:
I was glad to attend his rememberance and speak with some of his family members and reminisce about his youth. Did you know that both his parents were swim coaches?
It does make me rethink priorities in life. Swimming while sick - piece of cake and happy to be swimming at all. Makes me think of one of the Navy Seals sayings - something to the effect of, "Be happy to feel the pain. Pain is your friend. It means you are alive." How is it that I learn more with each passing year but know less and less at the same time? :agree:
Take care of yourself Beth and I hope to see you at a practice or at least come this weekend. Did you know that you were the one swimmer who inspired me to start racing the men? I saw how you whooped their butts - you showed me how it was done - and you still do! :notworthy:
