I did a cool survey last week with my age-groupers; I asked them all to tell me what they thought about when they swim in practice, and what they think about when they swim in a meet. I got answers ranging from boyfriends/girlfriends, homework, and music.
So, I'm curious....what do all of you think about when you swim?
I am 110% convinced that gremlins take over my body when signing up for a meet. Sometimes they make me sign up for events that are far too long (200s). Sometimes they make me sign up for back to back events or anything involving evil stroke.
The gremlins that took over my body for the Indy meet this weekend were particularly mean signing me up for a 200 free AND a 400 free as well as a 200 IM.
Please post what you were thinking, if you remember. I'd like a step-by-step memoir. 1. The blocks. 2. The swims. 3. Various stages of the swims. Especially the 400 free. (Please?)
No need to say what you were thinking when it is all over, although that would be interesting too. I have a habit of ducking my head under the water when I'm through to take a moment to appreciate the fact that I finished.:wine:
Have fun! Swim fast! isobel
