If you are the NZ Police, taking up 2 pool lanes just to have a general catch up and chat while hanging over the ropes for a half hour isn't reeeeally appreciated by the other swimmers. Or possibly just me, but seriously. When the rest of us are 3 to the remaining lanes because 2 lanes are out of action, it's annoying. It ruined my zen. Made me grumpy enough to do extra laps though, so it kinda worked out. I guess. At a stretch. If I'm trying to re-harness my zen.
If you are flutter-board guy in the fast lane, you might want to toddle over about 8 lanes to the slow lane. Or, even better, the flutter-board lane. There's one of those. It's the one with all the flutter-boards in it.
If you are the guy moving at 100 miles an hour in the slow lane because you're using paddles, you might want to swap with flutter-board guy. Also, just quietly, it was extremely hard to pace off you when you swim half a lap under water, and it's just a little weird when you swim directly underneath me. Of course, in a perfect world, I shouldn't have been in the slow lane either, but that's the Police's fault.
And now, back to attempting to transcribe my Diana Gabaldon interview.
OOOoooh so that's the big interview! Way cool!
ReplyDeleteLong time reader, first time commenter here - thought I should join the conversation. That is, rather than just being the crazy blog stalker lady who scared you by recognising your gorgeous boy at the P&C show when you were looking at baby shoes :-)
