Like a fish out of water
Today was good. Today I swam back with the team!
It had been a year since I had last swum with them. My work schedule just wasn't letting me get to practice, but now that we're going back to The Schedule Of Doom the practice times line up better with my life. Hooray!
My stroke felt, well, weak and inconsistent. The good thing is that I was able to work on it a lot because it was a distance day... and it hurt. Always a good sign to be feelin' that lactic acid your first day back!!!! (Seriously!)
I'm still fast, apparently. This is good. Still lots of room for improvement though. A lot of improvement. And now that I'm back with the team I know I'll start shedding my excess poundage too. Not that I'm fat, but I'm a good 15 pounds heavier than I was a year and a half ago. Plus I'll pack on all that lovely swimming muscle.
It's so good to be back! I missed my swimming buddies, I missed the competition, and I missed the water. Hooray for svimmink!
