Day 25: The Game

Where: Canada Games Aquatic Center, London ON

When: Thursday night flush swim

Players: (min. 6)
1. Lady with goggles older than me, breast stroking in the wrong direction
2. Board shorts kid ...attempting... fly down the middle of the lane
3. Innocent bystander swimmer who inevitably gets nailed by player #2
4. Old couple water jogging tandem in the fast lane
5. Small children throwing nerf balls over the bulkheads into lane (they're probably peeing over there too)
6. Me

Rules:
-Complete 4k swim, and hopefully reinforce new and improved swim stroke & attitude towards swim training
-Avoid flipping out on anyone, INCLUDING passive aggressive acts of anger (ex. overexaggerated dolphin kicks and flip turns within the vacinity of your opponents)
-Swimming over opponents Harry Wiltshire style is forbidden, even when swimming start speed 50's
-Goal: accept that for some unknown reason this game is a paifully common and expected phenomenon among those who aim higher than floating like a turd when going "swimming"

Name of the Game: Triathlon Swimming Specificity Training

...If training was easy everyone would do it. And it wouldn't be nearly as fun :)

  1. I love how the simple workout of 500 repeats turned into an adventure! Great attitude. Now you will have to share the skills with Amanda and Brent on Sunday!
