...as I was contorting last night to remove offending follicles...I thought to myself, "Is it really worth the effort?" I mean I'm not top 20 let alone top 10, and although I give a gallant try and swim OK. I'm not a lighting bolt in the water.
Admittedly it's a nice thing to see a few abs lurking below the surface a little bit, which are not so observable with the man rug in full bloom, but beyond a little vanity clipping...is it worth it...or is it going to give me a psyche up that get's me a second off my 50 etc etc...
Anyone else ponder this sort of thing...
In high school and college my teammates and I would always grow out our leg hair until our championship meet. By the time I'd shave, it would take several razors -- my hair was so long that it would be a bit curly! My boyfriends always thought that I was nuts, and I definitely hid my legs under tights and long pants until I had them hook, line, and sinker, but back to the topic...
After shaving, the feeling in the water was incredible. Perhaps, it physically helped to shave, but it is mentally invigorating to feel so sleek in the water. Definitely go for the shave, but wait until just before your meet so that you can really feel the rush of smoothness.
