I just have to wonder if, perhaps, the intervals aren't tough enough when Fortress's teammates have the time (and breath) to discuss women's bodies, pms, cute lifeguards, etc. during practice. Usually it's all I can do not to hurl my latte into the gutter. My training partner and I communicate via grunts and gestures between repeats.
I don't know what Fortress did to deserve this. I've read her posts. She jokes some. But I have seen her offer many, many helpful tips and give encouragement to many as well. I have also seen her ask questions and thank others for advice.
I looked. She seems to be currently ranked #1 in the nation in several events. So I guess her team must not be too shabby.
Most athletes and people tend to engage in some good natured banter.
