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.
:frustrated:
I too did gymnastics! I stopped when I was afraid of breaking my neck on the tricks (and I was getting too tall). So, it was a nice transition over to swimming. It was good to find a sport where I didn't have to worry about seriously injuring myself. Did you find that your flexibility from gymnastics helped you in swimming?
Thank you for thinking of Bob and our team. It's a small team in that everyone knows everyone and most swimmers are "regulars." In speaking with Bob's sister, I learned that he did have a previous heart attack and that 90% of his arteries were blocked. Not that this makes it any better. . . but it was amazing how fast he was even under those conditions. I will most miss his witty comments between sets.
I found the flexibility thing too I think it's why I found fly so easy the undulation was somewhat natural, I think a lot of gymnasts turned swimmers seem to be flyers, Rachel Komisarz comes to mind, too. I don't have the height problem, I'm only 5'2".
My thoughts are with Bob's family, friends, and teammates ...
