Swimming Oh Swimming...

Today is the day I tried swimming again after a 4 year hiatus... the last time I did any serious swimming was in my final semester at Michigan... by serious I mean 10 - 14 laps freestyle every other day... I thought I should try it once over here before I go home... maybe can turn it into a habit again...

Mula2 pergi dah la kena bayar nak masuk swimming pool... student pon kena bayar apa daaa... and then can only swim width wise, because the shallow end was closed for kids... did the first lap using a pull buoy... macam biasa warm up dulu... lepas tuh terus over confident tak nak pakai... half way tengah2 pool dah pancit... mak oii gaya nak lemas... bersepah2... hilang semua bunga2 langsung takde seni... but still managed to get to the other end... albeit separuh mati... lepas tuh tobat tak nak leave the pull buoy behind... in the end managed to do only 8 laps... width wise... sungguh memalukan... the fact that my goggles asyik banjir kat dalam did not help...

When I got out of the pool... mak oii lagi sekali badan rasa cam 10 kali ganda lagi berat dari biasa... actually it feels that way everytime lepas swimming... but dah lama sangat tak rasa camtuh, terkejut la pulak... my whole body was aching... still is, especially bahagian sayap bawah ketiak... pastuh masuk male changing room, baru teringat everyone goes commando kalau kat overseas... sosej fest tak ingat... elly mesti suka... anyway I'm not sure if I want to do this again... maybe I need a new pair of goggles... or maybe I should just stick to jogging.
