i got another e-mail form this guy. He said htat while he personally replies to e-mails that are of a different opinion form him, he doesn't respond to ranting and raving. all i wrote was htat he didn't know what he was talking about. I suggested that maybe he pay for some swimmers shoulders operations or medicine necessary to relieve a *** strokers lower back pain.
i am a hot-headed Ranter!!!!
A long time ago, there was the argument that the 3 toughest (strenuous?) sports were water polo, (Australian rules) rugby, and Greco-Roman wrestling. I don't remember anyone arguing for track.

Don't forget gymnastics. Another sport that sometimes does not get enough respect. Talk about being rough on the body! Also, I hate to admit it, but my understanding it that they train more than swimmers.
I got an e-mail from this guy today. He is either an idiot or is trying purposefully to incite swimmers. He talked about how running is so hard on runners' body. I wonder if he is willing to pay for the doctor removing the scar tissue from my right shoulder?
He also said that he didn't say anything about how long the different athletes must train. Truly that negates his claim. Sprinters practice maybe 1 hr a day on hard workout days.
