Ok, first of all, I am not usually a drinker. However, that being said I went out Friday evening. I have been out in Denver, Colorado for past week for work. I finished up my work on Friday and decided I was going to spend a little of my per diem and go out and well, get drunk. The taxi dropped me off at hotel at 2am and I had practice at 630 this morning. When I woke up this morning to go swim, well I was still feeling the effects. Im curious, do others swim hung over, do they skip that practice, go to practice and go thru the motions? To my surprise after warmup I was feeling pretty good, that is after I had a few beer and shot burps lol. I went on to have a good practice, not great, but much better than expected. Of course, once I got back from morning practice I crashed.

  • Unlike Ande, Evil-Goodsmith and quite a few other swimmers I know.....I've never been able to swim "fast" work out times....the only exceptions we're the times in college when for some reason my coach got wind of my being out having a little to much "fun"......his sadistic side was to try and make an example of me and several times stopped practice and gave me a get out swim.....I guess my bodies fairly good at burning ethanol.....I never missed the goal time, never threw up....even came close to NCAA cuts once in the 100 free...and ALWAYS teed him off big time! Greg....glad to see you we're back in town again....sorry I missed you as we've been in Salt Lake....not working out because of the severe pollution warnings!
