there's a fellow i keep running into at the pool named, walt. he's an "old" guy who is an "endurance" athlete. he does triathlons and ultra-marathons. he was born in boston but has lived most of his life in california and is back to care for his sick father. he's a super nice guy and we've had a few fun conversations about how much better california is than all of the other states.
usually when i show up walt is leaving, but not today. we arrived at the same time, exchanged our usual pro-california banter and then headed out to the deck. "hey, this is great...we can swim together!" walt said. "awesome," i said, assuming he was expressing his joy over the fact that we'd be in the same pool at the same time.
false. he thought we were going to "swim" together, as in do the same workout. this guy does close to three thousand yards every time he swims. i do less than that =)
bottom line is i did not want to look like a weenie, so i swam as far and as hard as i've swam since i started up last month. my body is in a state of rebellion. hopefully i can get out of bed tomorrow!
