I got quite upset at masters swimming yesterday. I'm new to the triathlon masters swim group. It's a lovely group and the one workout per week that I don't do alone. It so happens I'm one of the faster swimmers and the fastest female - sadly the woman who was the fastest before is upset and she shows it. She's just a b**ch to me every week and being sensitive it just makes me sad.

Last night we were doing progressive 50s, 100s, 200s. She starts moaning at me for swimming my first 200 too fast (3.20), saying in a sarcastic tone, how on earth do I expect to increase my speed if I go out too fast. When I replied I'm just swimming my pace, she goes on to say, well lets see what you can do then - willing me to fail. I proved her wrong, but that's not the point.
Why can't some women just be happy for other women? When I do sport I always want to beat the men and I love it when a woman is successful.

I swam my fastest 100m and my fastest 200m yesterday. I should be happy with the improvement, but i keep thinking about why a grown woman in her 50s behaves in this way. More importantly why me a grown woman in her 40s is so sensitive and gets upset by stupid people.

So rant over! Thanks for reading!
