...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...
I know that none of the high school girls that I coach do it, but it's also Idaho, and we're not very competitive in swimming circles anyway. I've also never asked them to, and my coaches essentially required it of us. Although none of us actually tested them to see what the consequence would be if we did shave prematurely.
I certainly don't do it anymore, and now that I have my ankle-length suit, I'm not sure that it would have the same effect.
