Have you ever noticed that the older you get, the more perfect everything has to be for a good swim? Not a "great" swim, just a good swim. The water is too hot, the water is too cold, I got a crick in my back last night while sleeping, my suit is riding up, my favorite people to push me aren't here today, and on and on!! For a truly great swim, I think I have begun to believe in Biorhythms. Ever heard of them? www.facade.com/.../
I'll do okay if my physical is on the bottom, but if my emotions are on the bottom, forget it -- I'm talking meets, workout, whatever! Anyways, just wondering, how perfect do all the conditions have to be for you to have a good/great swim? :bliss:
The thing is - this was supposed to be funny! I don't generally have a problem with meets - don't have too many masters meets under my belt to talk about anyways - and each one was so fun!
It was more about workout - you know, you're totally psyched for workout, ah ha! I got away from the evil office! or whatever, you dash to the pool, and then dive in and after a few laps note that something is achy, or geez the water is hot today, or where is everybody??? For me, at my very pathetic level of in-shape-ness -- certain intervals require "perfect" conditions. I can keep 20 x 100's on the 1:20 (yards) pretty much without effort - but to do them on the 1:15, seems like conditions have to be perfect! Get it? Like Orca said, "the older I get, the better I was!!" :bliss:
