5 Things Learned From My First Swim Meet
>> Wednesday, February 27, 2013
• ONE: I need to work on my kick. I've always known I have a "triathlete's kick." That means "I don't HAVE a swim kick because I want to keep my legs fresh for the bike and the run." I STARTED working on it about a year ago, but I need to do more. In a swim meet, I need to use my legs more!
• TWO: I should have swam more than just the 50 and 100. But I was too scared to sign up for more. But even after my first event, I knew I could have / should have done more. Next meet, I'll (probably) try the 500. Or even the 1000. I WON'T try the 200 right away because I've heard that's like the 800 in track: too far to "sprint" all the way, but not far enough to fall into a nice rhythm.
• THREE: Swimmer's AREN'T jerks. I was afraid that I'd be an outsider because I'd never done a meet. But nobody cared. Everyone was helpful and friendly. No one was walking around like "I'm in the zone; don't f*cking talk to me."
• FOUR: Girl Scout cookies are fine to eat between races. I brought my box of shortbread cookies and snacked on them with Julia and Dominique between my 2 races. Totally acceptable. I'll do that again. (I also had a Powerbar.)
• FIVE: It's possible to hurt your testicles AND your penis while diving. When I posted last week about learning how to dive off the blocks, I noted that I beat-up my testes a bit. Well I forgot to mention something in my race report on Monday. I said that my 2nd race started with a bit of a better dive, but I STILL landed a little awkwardly on the water. I didn't hurt my testicles, but I DID hurt the base of my penis. The beginning of the shaft of my penis must have slapped the water in my 2nd dive, because it was a little sore post race. In fact, Aaron greeted me shortly after I got out of the water, and I said "I think I kinda landed on my d*ck with that dive..." Not cool. It's better than hurting your balls (for the record), but still not cool. It was still a little red when I hit the showers an hour later.
Oh, one last thing.... Remember this?...
1. There were a few that said:
"Congrats for trying your first swim meet!"
2. There were a few MORE that said:
"I've done a number of swim meets, and I STILL dive like that. So don't worry about it!"
3. And there were EVEN MORE that said:
"My 9 / 10 / 11 year old boy / girl is faster than you! Ha!"
That's true.
And sometimes the truth hurts.
And sometimes it's majorly damaging to a 31-year-old's ego.
;)

i think i may have been guilty of saying a couple of those things! :) but i do really think its awesome that you did this and its inspired me to give it a shot too!
i need a few weeks to get into swimming shape though.
when you do it again, i would show up to make an ass of myself :)
Ha, trimybest! Yep, your little girl can KICK MY ASS! I'm proud of her for that, though!
yea the masters coaches on my team really push my kick in the pool. When you get the technique down, it's really cool. and still a very effective triathlon technique. Swim kick uses different muscles than bike/run effort, so think about it more like a warm up for the legs than a fatigue factor.
That was a hilarious post! Thank you for making me smile on this blah day :)
