So I was so excited that they were holding a competitive swim camp here I could hardly sleep the night before. I looked the guy up, and I couldn't find him anywhere. But I did find some one with that name who was a 1964 Olympian. I was sure that was him, and he was the first person to go under a minute in the 100 meter back, so I was even more excited.
When I got to the locker room there were two girls there waiting to go in and I mean girls. One must have been 8 the other couldn't have been more than 10. Aieeayeyay I was going to be the only adult there? Did I misread the information? Was it for kids? I was now thinking how horrible this was going to be. I imagined 8-10 prepubescent and me. When we got to the pool the coach was talking to some old guy and I was hoping and praying that I was going to be swimming with this old geezer - please. He did join us and that made four. At least he was slower than I was even though those tweets left me in the dust. Hey I am old you know.
The coach told me to jump in so he could have a look at my stroke, but before I did I asked him if he was the Olympian. No. oh well.
I spent the next hour and a half listening to him tell me everything Laura has already told me, but I was in the pool showing off my skills so did I have fun- oh hell yes.
Can't wait til Thursday.

Did he time your 100??? I'm rooting for 1:34! Did the 8 year old tweet really swim faster than you - i find it VERY hard to believe. As you know, I have a mean side stroke.
