detox day
ok so i've reached a new level of laziness...
after what can only be called JUNK FEST for that past two days (sunday -kfc, monday, hungry jacks, brownies) i decided a DETOX day was in order...so what better way to start that then w swimming 2km...
continuing the tradition of trying all weird and wondering pools around australia, i once again found myself in a new setting and a new pool. went to nadawading (is that how its spelt?) and its newly reneovated and its long...50 M POOL!!!
damn its crazy. i'll u something...my laziness is hilarious. it's not extra lazy (bc c'mon, let's face it, i did swim) but it still is very very funny. bc it turns out, when i swim, my legs just lie in the water. YEP. they don't move. they don't kick. they let the arms work. now usually, i wouldn't have noticed bc at a 25m pool, if u got good arms, it'll take u abt 10 arm strokes and ur done (bc of that great push off from the wall). but in a 50 m pool....its like ARGH WHERE'S THE END???!!!! WHERE THE F IS THE END??!!!
haha totally hilarious. and by my 10th lap (which is actually my 20th on a 25m pool!) i went into AUTOPILOT swimmer..which in a 25m, doesn't usually kick in til i'm in my 40th lap. now what happens in autopilot is that i'll have a continous rhythm, even if i don't haave the breath nor the energy for it. and it was sooooo funny (well in my head anyway) bc i'll be swimming along this 50 m pool going "argh, where's the end? where's the end? i need the end!" and then get there but instead of stopping like a smart person, bc of autopilot, i turned around and continued the same rhythm and going...ARGH WHERE'S THE END? WHERE'S THE END?? haha i find it very amusing.
by my 20th lap (40 in the 25 m pool) i turned my head to breathE and this BIG FAT DUDE came along and splashed water into my mouth and i'm like ARGH GURGLE GURGLE GURGLE but bc i'm a) on autopilot and b) way too lazy to have to stop and start again...i kept swimming and coughing and gurgling while my head was in the water! haha u guys should try that sometime. HILARIOUS.
i must say though, w the 50 m pool it gets all very exciting when u hit ur 26th lap and realise, wow i'm up to my 52nd lap on the 25m pool and realising that u only need to swim 40 laps to get my 2 km....its a good challenge compared to the 25 m pool. so i've decided, if i ever have a junk fest day, as punishment, i must go and swim at the 50 m pool. bc i use more energy. haha
btw, haven't talked to u monash ppl since FRIDAY! how quiant of me. how quiant of me to use the word quiant. hope all ur holidays are giving u the deserved break!
