So I'm a crazy woman. I'm still out of shape and all, but for some reason there was a little voice in my head that was saying "yes, Mimi is much better shape than you, but she's just doing 100 fly and you're doing 100 IM! You can keep up with her!"
Not such a good voice to listen to.
And because I'm a crazy competitive person, I ended up keeping up with her alright, but I was having to get my heart rate up to like 190, 200 to do it! Not such a good idea since I don't have the maximum heart rate of a fifteen year old and dropping dead at the tender age of twenty-five isn't really my thing.
I was also working hard enough to achieve muscle failure on those last three 50s fly. By the end of each one I looked like one of those little kids who's only just now learning how to swim fly and they don't quite have the upper body strength to be able to pull it off.
Wheeeee.
I could be paying for this tomorrow.
