So, yesterday Allan and I went for another swim. I'd say we had a pretty good swim, I think I went for a pretty long time (considering the shape I'm in) without stopping or taking a break. After that little warm up, I felt the urge to have a little friendly competition. For those who might not know, I used to swim competitively, and one of the things I miss most about it is the competition. Win or lose, I just love the feeling of going all out and giving everything you've got in a race against someone else and seeing who comes out on top. Anyways, there was a bunch of kids (I call them kids, but they were actually in their late teens or early twenties) and they were pretty good swimmers and apparently worked at the pool, so I asked them if any of them wanted to race me. I asked about four random people in the pool if any of them wanted to race me, but to my great disappointment, no one wanted to race. Allan was also there and really wanted to watch someone take me down, but unfortunately no one was up for the challenge. When I got home, I talked to Dwight, and told him how no one wanted to race me at the pool. He thinks there might be something wrong with me and that it's not normal for people to challenge other people to a race in the middle of a public lane swim. I thought about it, and maybe he's right. I've gone to a lot of public swims, and not once has anyone ever challenged me to a race (even though I'd totally be up for it) and yet I'm always asking random strangers to race. Oh well, who knows what it is, maybe feel like I got something to prove?
