    thank you

    froglegs, I never thought of myself as a runner and I had the cross country record in h.s. done in a time trial as an incoming freshman. Now is way far away from then though so I for sure don't see myself as that way.

    Before my first tri, I had an OW swim coach because I kind of procrastinated with the whole swim thing. I said I wasn't a swimmer. He said "you are swimming, you are a swimmer". This was as he was telling me I should start going to Master's. Um...yeah...I'd for sure be out of place there! Anyway, I guess that means you should view yourself as a runner.

    I like challenges though I wish sometimes I didn't. I'd have a LOT more free time if I didn't, at least! The housework would get done...dh would have clean socks (it's my decision to do the laundry, he'd do it if I let him), I'd be cleaning the catboxes, etc.

    Having been a part of that exact masters team, with that very coach, I can tell you that you would not be out of place there. There really was room for all, and with the coaching, underwater video, and the rest of the tools, virtually everyone who started there improved a lot. Including me. You can do it!

    Oddly enough, I am going to start going back to Queen Ann on the 30th. I'll be away the next two sundays or else I'd do it sooner. I'll talk to him and see what he says. I'm just going for the coaching sessions but I could maybe be persuaded to show up at some Masters too
