I'm seeking creative ideas on how to persuade my spouse that I simply must go to a travel meet in December. He didn't quite make vomit noises when I mentioned it, but looked a bit (not unduly) irritated/bewildered/annoyed by my desire to compete in meets. (He hasn't raced much lately.) The timing was likewise unappealing. Any thoughts?
I was contemplating calling my mother and begging for a visit.
I'm not sure what events I'm going to swim. It irks me to no end that the 200 free and the 50 fly are back-to-back since those are the only two events I really want to do. :bitching:
I feel your pain. My style gets cramped all the time. From now on, I'm aspiring to be the "Court Without Appeal" that is apparently LBJ's wife.
And I'm cross that, on Saturday, both the 100 IM and 50 back are back-to-back AND the 50 fly and 100 back are back-to-back. :bitching: I'm too old to swim back-to-back events with much success. I gotta have a half hour. :cane:
Great advice, Stud. Do both if you want to suck or do sub-par times. Who wants to travel to do that?!
Paul: It's the Tom Dolan meet with very tough QTs. Very exciting meet. If you want to see the highlights, just go to finals at night. But it is very, very crowded, just to warn you. Plus, I know one rocking fast masters swimmer who will be there to cheer on --- Mr. Jeff Roddin!!
