So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:
:banana: Besides my USMS logo long sleeve t-shirt, this is my other favorite winter t-shirt to wear back and forth to the pool. Every time I put it on, I remember my Butternut swims; especially the first one when my husband was :bitching: :censor:. He thought he would only have to hold the camera for a 200 fly, but I kept going until the camera's card filled up and shut down at 900 yards. :D (He was much more chipper for my 2,000 fly, because I set the camera up on a tripod.:agree:)
Anyway, Doug Church and the Nasti squad came up with a great concept for the Butternuts and I am proud to be one of the NUTS. It's a fun goal to shoot for, mlabresh!
While Doug Church is our spiritual leader, the inventor of the "Butternuts" concept is Mr. Dan Welkin! Dan is a bit of a nut himself and always completes the 500 Free at the state meet doing Butterfly!!!! BTW, the 500 is the last event of a 2 day meet. Dan regularly competes in the 50 / 100 / and 200 Fly plus 6 other events during the 2 day swim marathon, oh a ton of relays too!!!
