Last Friday while doing sprinting and drills, a fellow yelled at me and asked me if I needed a doctor (I was huffing and puffing naturally), and I said No, just sprinting. He insisted on trying to have a conversation with me about his long distance swimming. I will point out I know this fellow and he is not athletic, he does the bar scene, very unfit.
He told me he swam 10 miles in an hour, and the instant he told me that I broke out in hilarious laughter. He was shocked. I told him it was humanly impossible without an attached motorized device and that our dive boats here don't even go 10 miles an hour.
So, he said we could meet and he would show me, I said how about tomorrow because Saturday is my distance day. He said, Oh, I can't because I got a tatoo and I have to stay out of the water for 2 months!!
Don't people realize we didn't just fall off the turnip truck? Anyone ever brag to you about some swim facts that could not be true? Maybe this is something a person can say to a non-swimming person, but I am in the water training 4 days a week; I am the last person to make such an outrageous statement to!!!

Haha I was dogging it last night at workout a bit. I had no fins for the kick sets. The did 300's I did 150's or 200's...no excuses they're better andmore used to it. Al Iknow I busted my hump litereally and figuratively. I got out of my 150 what they got out of their 300...it's all relative.
At 37 I'm beyond challenges...except I can drink way more than anyone here...:rofl: :rofl:
Now this is A RIDICULOUS COMMENT. No one can even afford my bar tab, except this week; am on the wagon, well, the chuck wagon, or any wagon for that matter; maybe even a red wagon. But come Sunday after the swim, I'm jumping off that wagon to get ready for training for my 350yd fly challenge that starts on Monday!! Must dull the pain, you know?
