The good thing about swimming with a group is that they push you. This morning I was ready to just mail in a few thousand yards and call it a day. I woke up feeling tired and sore, yesterday taking a lot out of me for those intervals I could still feel it in my legs. Heading into the pool there wasn’t many people there to start and I was thinking this could be good, nice relaxing swim. That all ended quickly as I saw a blur go by in the water, great, the fast swimmers were here. I used to consider myself a pretty good swimmer until I started swimming with this group. This morning I had trouble keeping up with a guy doing the backstroke, pretty sad. But hey, it motivated me to swim hard and if they weren’t there I would have just relaxed and swam easy.
