Swim happy

My swim happy ... The Awesomeness of pdjang! Last weekend I had the pleasure of competing in the Senior Games National Championships, in Cleveland. While not strictly a USMS event, the times do count for USMS Top Ten, and it attracts a lot of USMS swimmers. It was a great meet! But I have to confess, the greatest part of the meet was getting to hang out with our fellow forumite, the totally awesome pdjang. He's a stunningly talented swimmer, an exceptionally wonderful gentleman, friendly, accessible ... and just all-around awesome. Kind of like the James Bond of masters swimming. You know what I'm saying? Here he is with a certain well-known, smoking-hot, drop-dead gorgeous USMS swimmer lady. The guy is so awesome, he hangs out with all the most attractive girls! forums.usms.org/attachment.php He's everywhere! Walking around on some random street in Cleveland, and there he is, on a poster! forums.usms.org/attachment.php In the Athlete's Village, inside the Cleveland Convention Center. There he is again! How awesome is that? The guy populates the entire city of Cleveland, all by himself! forums.usms.org/attachment.php And there he is again! On top of the medals stand, where he stood so many times last weekend! This particular shot was after the 200 back, me with silver, pdjang -- of course -- with gold. I took the silver to his gold THREE TIMES in this one meet! Awesome! But wait a minute! Can you see what I'm holding in my left hand? Too small to see, you say? forums.usms.org/attachment.php Ok ... ZoomHANCE ... !!! forums.usms.org/attachment.php That guy is a cute little dinosaur ... excuse me, a SWIMOSAUR ... given to me by Mr. Awesome himself, pdjang! No kidding! What a guy! My swim happy today: The awesomely great people you meet and befriend in masters swimming, including and especially, pdjang!
