AAARGG!
Okay so this is the second time i had to type this post today! Weebly you are not in my good books right now.
Anyway, I had a great swim today, second of the week. I did 10x25m warm up, 2 30x25m swims and 1 20x25m swim. For the 30x25's i seem to be hitting between 16-18 minutes. I am not sure if that is good, but I am pretty happy with those times. Not sure how that will translate to open water though.
The second thing to discuss today is a pet peeve of mine that seems to crop up for me from time to time in locker rooms, and that is mistimed eye contact, resulting in staring at old man junk.
The worst being that albino guy old guy that thought he was in a Captain Morgans commercial, with his foot up on the changing room bench in all his naked glory. I, putting on my socks having no idea that he has taken the Captain Morgan stance, turn to answer a question, expecting a face and instead end up having an albino, old man hacky sack a foot from my face.
This has happened to me countless times in my life, not the albino thing, just the old man bag in my eyeline mid conversation.
Now i am not a prude or a homophobe or anything distasteful like that but I feel I should have an old man bag free experience while i am getting changed.
My change room routine is like clockwork.
I am not going to bore you with the details, but it involves a lot of staring at the floor and very little open air time of nakedness on my part.
So today, out of the pool, quick shower, and into the change room. I am mid way through my routine when the only other person in the change room, Chatty MacChatterton decides to saddle up next to me and discuss the current events of the day. Why, you may ask, could he not do that from a bench or row away? I will never know, as I am to polite to say, hey bub, wouldnt you be more comfortable changing on the next bench?
So i am holding up my end of the conversation yada yada ready for Christmas, yada yada weather, yada yada Leafs won again.
I am in the final stages of my routine. I am dressed and looking to pack up.
I go to grab my towel on the floor and it happens to be under his foot.
I lightly pull to see if I can get it without him knowing.
No luck.
Pull a little harder, using my Jedi mind powers to will it over to me, and with one final tug, the towel is free.
Bringing with it, a fully naked, spinning his old man, naked bits directly into my eye line.
I spin away like i am avoiding molten lava thrown at me.
Quickly get my things put away, make a concentrated effort to look him directly in the eye and wish him a Merry Christmas, then poof, i was gone.
Again, the human body is a wonderful thing, and I would be as equally pet peeved if it was a younger dude's meat and veg that keeps untimely popping up into my eye line through unfortunate timing and conversation. But it has historically been old men and their free swinging baggage that have been the culprit.
So if you see a guy staring intently at the floor in a change room in the future, it is probably me or someone like me, so please dont approach in anything less that a well secured towel or at least the basic under garments.
On the up side i have a bike session planned for tonight that does not require any change room time, so take that old man bags!
