Don't worry. Tell her that I was called a "man" and a "hoss" recently - and by the gals! When I passed one of the National gals on a set in practice, she said she thought I was a "man." Was also called, "You are such as hoss!" by one of the young gals when she asked what I did on my 100 fly. Is it possible to be :cane: and :roids: at the same time?! :lmao: What a combo!
BTW (back to the strong topic), my coach told me at the end of the meet that I had this weekend that I DO NOT need to do more or heavier weights. He said I was strong enough but that I need to learn how to swim LC. He went over race strategies and some technique issues for different events.
Well, you and I can take abuse. We're grown ups and a good ribbing is virtually mandatory. But middle school girls are very sensitive and she's only a size 1-2 for god's sake! I was in the grocery store the other day and browsed through one of the celebrity rags. They had a poll on which body type men liked best. Sporty and muscular were the lowest, with muscular at 2%. I told her to find a smart jock to date when she's older, although I liked Mattson's retort.
What was your coach's rationale on the strength training? Is it because you're focusing on longer distances? LC is hard!
