My Feet Make It In Print

A few weekends ago, I took part in a high school invitational meet (a meet where the varsity-level swimmers from many different schools compete all together) called The Speedo Classic. It took place at the U of A. Several of my close friends got to go and they all swam well despite the "rain out" that occurred later in the day. I only swam one event, the 500 free (20 laps), and my friend, Nick, counted for me. Counting is where you have a teammate stand at the end of your lane and help you keep track of how many laps you've done by using a board that they stick in the water when you do your turns. Although it was not my best race ever, a picture of Nick (and my feet) ended up the Arizona Daily Star. Now, before anyone asks, Nick IS the guy with the black hair in the speedo, lying on his side. I asked him what that was about, and it turns out that he likes to lie on his side while counting. Probably more comfortable than kneeling on the hard surface of the pool deck.
