At the end of my swim this morning I had a chance to speak with one of the super speed demons who flies in the fast lane. I asked him how far he had gone, he said two miles, then followed on with the fact that he swims four miles a day. Turns out that he isn't a member, he just pays the day rate and will be gone in three days when he is done with all of the 37.5 miles. You see, he is racing it. Trying to get it done in 11 days, where it should normally take 11 weeks. Wow!
What I can say is that I will be glad when he and the other speed demon, who I think is there for the same reason, are gone. I don't like competing that much for any lane. This morning I started in fast, then split the slow, then went medium, then went to the slow again, then back to the medium, then finally was able to get the last few laps in the fast lane. Ugh.
