In another thread someone was mentioning getting out of practice early because they weren't doing well. When, or why, have you gotten out early?
I'll start:
(1) Kicked in the face (really hard, big owies!)
(2) Kicked in the shoulder (by big guy 6'4" 200#s, I call him husband!)
(3) Decided to swim with aforementioned husband immediately after putting to sleep 14 year old black Lab. We thought it would take our minds off of MacGuire. All I discovered was that I can't swim and cry at the same time.
(4) Bad back- more owies. Good chiropractor- all better.
And I SHOULD have got out (Jan 2001) when:
I swam the whole workout, with good effort, and was shivering cold. I told my husband that I was really cold and he replied, "Maybe you should swim some more (tonight)." I said, "Nah, we're done, I'm getting out." That night I went to the ER and was diagnosed with viral meningitis! Nope, he still hasn't lived THAT one down :p
I don't know if that was intended to be funny, but it made me laugh! Fortunately I swim at night so work is never an issue but fatigue can sometimes tempt me to cut a workout short, especially in the last few weeks. Thus far I have resisted temptation.
It was intended to be mildly funny.
We always talk about the "masters option". Don't like the set? Get out. Don't feel good? Get out. Feeling tired? Get out.
The great thing about masters swimming is that the only person keeping you in the water is you. It's not age group swimming where the coach just yells and yells at you all day long. Want to get out? Go!
