Missed Connection: Asheville downtown YMCA North Pool: Wed 5/23/2106 lunch time
Quote | Reply
Maybe it’s just ‘speed goggles’ but….

You: Probable triathlete with a swim background. You are tall, have broad shoulders and a shaved body. You swim stroke was amazing. You were swimming about 1:05-1:10/100 pace in the far lane of the pool. Breaking up your swim with lots of drills. You had a HUUB swim cap and speedo style style swim briefs. You have beautiful flip turns.

Me: Adult onset swimmer/triathlete. I walked into the pool area about 11:40. I had a Team Rev3 shimmery swimsuit and a Florabama logo swim cap, I had a brightly colored bag of pool toys. I only used paddles for about 1000 of the 4000 yard set. I started in the lane on the opposite side of the pool for a bit before I asked the lifeguard to rearrange a couple lanes so when my coach arrived we could circle swim in a middle lane (or so I could be closer to you).

My coach showed up wearing Roka Sim cheater shorts and we started circle swimming with me leading the workout. I think you were swimming at least 1:10/100 because we were doing the workout on 1:20/100 pace and you were going a good bit faster than I was. You might have even been swimming 1:05/100. Either way, I’m certain you were just cruising at that pace.

I tried to make eye contact, but my coach told me to stop “eye fucking” you and pay attention to the clock. I tried to tell him if he would lead the workout I could continue checking you out and not have to pay attention to the clock, but he made excuses for why he was slow today…..even though he was wearing cheater shorts.

After about 20 more minutes you got out. This was good because I was able not kill myself for the rest of the swim workout just to impress you. I finished my 4000 yd set and got out. You were long gone from the Y at this time.

I think you were checking me out too. Hit me up if you want to do an open water swim, check out my Vasa trainer, help me break in my altitude tent or give me 'feedback' on my stroke.

whoever you are, thanks for making part of my swim workout more exciting than it normally is.

Just a guess, but because you can't hold a 1:05/100

If anything, all the guys are going to start logging exponentially more yards in the pool.

This thread is good for the sport!

This has potential to top the T3 thread.

I can hold 1:05's and I'll be glad to lead the lane for you.

Lots of promise here but nothing can surpass the T3 thread. Best thing I've ever read on the internets and following it in real time was priceless.

Fast swimmers only know one speed. Us BOPers like to take things slow.

I just read the T3 thread. Amazing. If the bike crash could have been explored more, then it would have really been something!

Yeah. This thread has a long ways to go to even get close to T3. This just has a horny woman looking for some sweet lovin' from her lanemate. T3 is a roller coaster of pure adventure.

I wonder who decided this thread needed "sticky" status?
