Hey
So, I am kind of new on here, I've been here for a month or so, but I still feel new here, I do not know anyone, and no one knows me! I am sure there are other people on here who are newer as well, and would like to meet all you long time members:-D
So I propose we start a thread just introducing yourself and maybe saying a thing or two about yourself, where your from, what you swim, whatever information you would like to share with the group:wave:
Hopefully, this isn't a completely lame idea?
Muppet, see you and Mollie in a few weeks. I'll be the one in the red Oregon cap sitting with the VMST people - they've adopted me. Stop by and say "hi". Fortress, you should try a morning meet, they wake you up faster :p . I'll be at the Chinn meet, too. It's too close for me to pass up (I'm in Gainesville)
Alison:
I believe you are one of those brave swimmers who get up at 5:30 am to go swimming, right? So getting up early is normal for you! I do go to morning meets, actually mostly morning meets. :agree: Our own meet in late October started at 10:00 am, warm up at 9:00. That's what I call civilized. I went to the Terrapin/Turtle Blue Moon thing too (both days) even though it was a bit of a ride. I think I saw someone in an Oregon cap there; must have been you. I'll check for you at the next meet I enter. But I see the Tropic Splash has a 7:45 am warm up and it ain't near me. So I'm passing on that one. I can't go to too many meets anyway with my kids' activities and hectic schedules. I really have to pick and choose.
Floyd:
I almost never go to bed before 12:30. I am a nightowl. :thhbbb: :thhbbb: My older kids are still awake at 10:00 quite often. I think the last time I went to bed at 10:00 I was probably 12. I have to have some evening chill time or I would freak out. My husband is also a bit of a night owl. If I went to bed at 10:00, he'd probably divorce me. I try not to wake up until 7:00, unless I have to drag my kid to one of those hideously early morning practices. Different strokes for different folks. :thhbbb:
Muppet:
Last time I checked, you were almost two decades younger than me and had three less kids on your hockey team. :thhbbb: Hockey teams keep parents very busy and wear you out. I need a lot of :coffee: in the am before I can swim. Besides, I'm not fully recovered from being a sick ogre yet. I got a ways to go ...
