Tired but Happy

I worked hard for this

It was freezing cold this morning at the North Shore Pool as the sun came up over the SPM Masters swim meet. The wind was blowing which gave warming up swimmers a bone chill as they exited the pool. Everyone had on overcoats. You can't do much about the weather. I was eager to swim my races because the pool was the warmest spot around.

It was cold man and this is an overcoat

I just got home and I am very tired. Sprinting all out has done me in. Don't worry, I am very happy. I would not have missed this experience for the world. People talk about "bucket list" nowadays. Those thing usually involve travel. How about an athletic event. You can't buy a ticket to get there. You have to put in the work.

A view from behind the starting blocks

You can see the ribbons I earned. AND I EARNED THEM! Nobody can take this away from me.

There is a Long Course meet in June in Sarasota. I have already started training for that one. See ya' there.
