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 always try to back half my 100s as a wussy sprinter. Still, the only LC 100 fly I swam, in 2006, I thought for sure I'd DQ the last 15 meters.
My coach (who I usually only see on Sunday morning) laughed at me today when I told her I might swim the 200 back. No pressure for me to swim 200s! :rofl: I got revenge by laughing at her backstroke start.
My coaches would laugh if I suggested a 200 back, but more for the backstroke part of it. When one was trying to teach me the start, he eventually gave up saying, "That's okay. You don't need to swim backstroke." I am not sure which is worse, that or my evilstroke. Wonder why I am not an IMer...
