I had a fabulous time! I love, love, love that pool. My teammates had some spectacular swims, but the highlight for me was watching Josh Davis go 1:36 in the 200 free. :applaud:
I loved the even pool's scoreboard and how it computes the splits right there!
Unfortunately, I closed out my wonderful Austin experience w/ a run-in on the flight out (Continental 7:20 am to Houston) w/ some steroid-popping but fat a-hole. As I was squeezing in through the packed aisles, my breakfast burrito spilled on his shirt and the guy had a cow! I apologized profusely and offered to get him a napkin, but he kept on whining and going off so I felt it best to just leave him the **** alone.
Which threw him further into his hissy fit/roid-rage. :roids:
The thing that sucks is that I had just introduced myself the day before to some probable future teammates b/c I'm moving to South Florida in August, and lo and behold... a couple of them walk into the plane at the height of this episode and as the guy threatens me with, "I'll see YOU when we get off the plane". (Seriously... what kind of a moron makes a threat on an airplane post 9-11????)
I was mortified and I'm so disappointed that my future teammates will think of me as some hot-head when in fact it was some *** having a temper tantrum b/c he got a little bit of egg on his cheap-ass $10 t-shirt!
If anybody here is on FLAQ and knows anybody that was on that 7:20 flight to Houston, please tell them that I am mortified by the whole situation and that that 'roid-monger was just looking for trouble. I can't remember their names, but I remember that one lady is Australian (or at least she sounded like she had an Aussie accent) and is tall, sprinter 30-34 age group if not 25-29. :sad:
