A most humbling experience

Beware of the sirens that swim with Indy Swimfit on Fridays. I thought this Friday would be a nice relaxed swim b/c most of the coaches are down in FL for Nationals, but I was very wrong. I was in my usual lane, the one that is just marginally faster than the people that sink, when these two very attractive ladies with matching IUPUI swim caps asked if they could share the lane. I gladly welcomed them because I usually swim with a guy that looks like Chewbacka’s brother. The next hour and a half they kicked my ass with extreme prejudice. They smiled and had nice little comments to keep me going between sets.
I have fallen off my bike after a long, hard ride and puked after running, but I haven’t received a skull dragging like that since I tried to keep up with Bob Kennedy on a ten mile training run.
All in all it was a good work out, and I will gladly go back for my weekly ass kicking from the swim sirens of IUPUI.

I’ve had similar experiences with high school swimmers. For that matter, middle-schoolers can probably kick my ass.

…I gave up and took a shower, parked my ego, and wondered if I could take them in a marathon:)

I figured I’d have to take them out on the bike (those pink barbie streamers are trez un-aero :-p
.

In the three years that I have been a master’s swimmer, I have learned that if a young, fit-looking woman joins us for the morning workout, the people in whatever lane she is in(usually Lane 1) is about to get their asses kicked.

I have had similar experiences with a 2 year old ankle biter wearing bright orange floaties. I don’t mess with anyone in the pool.

I hear ya brother. I swim in an open lane next to my 14 year old daughter during her practice and am amazed at their speed. I get passed no matter what stroke they’re swimming.

My background is swimming so I somewhat enjoy an occasional drag race-but, I have had my jerk handed to me by more women than I care to admit.

If I’m going to lose in the water- I’d rather it be to a Natalie Coughlin or Summer Sanders type-beauty.

By the way …there was a Chewbacca that swam at my pool today.

That was the hairiest damn back I have ever seen!

It looked like there was a moose swimming in lane 5.Yikes!
