One 100 free to go in set. Two open lanes.(no lane lines in pool) Noodler comes over to stand in my lane to talk with friend. Pool is set at 85 degrees cause all the noodlers say it is to cold otherwise. I complain to guard, am told, "well there are a lot more of them then there are lap swimmers" Wont be if they keep this up. UGH! :frustrated:
Are you married? Do you have a spouse who used to get up to an alarm clock 5 days a week for practically her entire life up until age 55, when she retired ?? Is your spouse somebody who has compromised tremendously for you over the years and you would like to return the favor??? Does your spouse encourage you to attend a swim meet on her birthday, because she knows it's what you would love to do???? Well, I do.
Other than the 55 part, all that and more. We fight for the coveted 5-7 am fitness slot in our house. Sleeping til 7 am is a luxury here. My point is that I'd happily take a less crowded pool without all the hand wringing and angst and lane measuring and letter writing and alleged assault and battery for a mere 30-45 minutes less sleep a few days a week. Everyone has their battles I guess.
