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:
Wow, we have not a a Swim Happy in a while.
Today a High School Freshman (water polo) who wanted to race me, I suggested a 200 IM (he won, not by much) during part of our workout, he told me I gave him a pretty good run for his money. He stated he would be dropped from his team if anyone found out if I would have won. As it was, it was probably pretty embarrassing to him that I was keeping up with him. It was all in good fun.
I believe I would have won our little race if I had not sprained my ankle this past Sunday, climbing over some rocks at the beach to do some open water swimming. Ankle still hurts a little, but I am working out the ankle in the pool. I am going easy on my turns at the wall, so I am a little slower off the wall at the moment.
