Swim-a-thon: Part 2

Today was my second day of the swim-a-thon since I swam another swim-a-thon on Friday. (Get it? Today was part 2.) I swam 100 laps again (down to the end of the pool and back- It bugs me when people call one length of the pool a lap) for a total of 5000 yards.

I enjoyed my swim-a-thon today. I don't feel as tired as I did on Friday. Maybe that day of rest I took yesterday actually helped. The one thing I didn't enjoy however, was that there were 3 other swimmers in my lane. Very fast swimmers. They kept running over me every other lap. It was very annoying. As I was getting kicked and bumped, all the while, I was looking forward to when they finished their 100 laps and got out of the pool.

Eventually they got out of the pool and I had the lane all to myself. No kicking or brusing. Yeah! I got the lane to myself for about 20 minutes. I was getting the nice, wounderful feeling I get when I do a good, hard workout. The only thing that wasn't so good though was that I really had to pee. I'll save the details, but all I can say was that I was very excited to be done with the swim so that I could run to the bathroom.

When the swim-a-thon was over, I felt a little tired, but not extremly. I only felt as tired as I normally do at the end of swim practice. I wasn't very hungry this time and still havn't ate a snack. It felt really awesome doing 2 swim-a-thons in a weekend. I was the only one on my swim team to do 2. I love distance swimming, as I said before. I wish they had swim-a-thons more then once a year. Every week would be nice. Maybe twice a week. Three times...

Swimming laps+ 2 hours=happiness

Today was the wounderful swim-a-thon (part one-since I am doing another swim-a-thon on Sunday). I loved it. All together, I swam 5300 yards. That was the longest I ever swim! It was really relaxing swimming all those laps on a Friday night. I am very wounderfully tired now. I am the kind of tired that only comes from a nice, long workout.

I shared a lap lane with one other person. That person normally is a very fast swimmer. I am usally the slowest swimmer on the team. (I honestly mean it- I love swimming but I am really slow!) Today, for some reason, she was swimming really slow. Even slower then me. She was probably very confident that she would make the 100 laps and trying to save her energy. She did make the 100 laps!

I neve swam a swim-a-thon before so I was sprinting so that I could swim the entire 100 laps on time. I must have lapped her about 10 times in the whole practice. It was pretty nice being the faster one in the lane, instead of being the one getting run over- even though come practice time, she can swim circles around me.

The swim-a-thon was supposed to be 5000 yards all together. I actually went a little bit over the designated distance. The reason is that I went an extra 100-200 yards because I did not realize I already finished the 100 laps untill I heard my coach yell my name. I also honestly didn't want to stop! After the swim-a-thon, I did a short cool-down and practice was over.

I'm not as tired as I thought I would be. I am a little sleepy right now, but I normally go to bed in about 10 minutes anyway. I will have a great night's rest tonight!

I was also very hungy! I ate a snack as soon as I got home. I ate outside and enjoyed the wounderful weather. It went up to 75 degrees today! After I ate, I felt a lot better.

Today was a perfect day for swimming. I am very excited that I get to do the same thing again on Sunday. I love long workouts like that. They make me feel on top of the world!

Creepy

I just had some online pervert add me as a friend on facebook. I cllicked "yes" on the friend request, not knowing that it was a pervert. I quickly realized it was a perv however, when I saw pictures of penises on his profile page. Also, his name didn't sound famillar and neither did the names of his friends displayed on his profile.

The only reason I cliked "yes" on the "add to friends request" was because usally, if I don't recognize someone's name, I will remember them onece I see a picture of them, and what school they go to. In his profile, there was no picture of him or his school. Only pictures of penises.

I quickly clicked "remove from friends" button on Facebook and was more then a little weirded out. If there are any pervs looking at this blog, please get the fuck off here.

In other news, my swim team is having a swim-a-thon both tommorrow and Sunday. What this means is instead of regular practice, we get to see how many laps we get to swim in 2 hours!!!! I am very excited because I love distance swiimming.

There are two days we can swim in the swim-a-thon and we have the option of swimming either day. I am ovbiously swimming both days because why wouldn't I? I LOVE distance swimming and am very excited for the swim-a-thon(s) !!!!!
