Oh how I love my team :))

I think Dennis' new motto is "kill them in practice so they are too tired to talk". It sure worked tonight! But even through the what seemed impossible practice, the ridiculous Birthday Swim (thanks a lot Renee.. this story later), and Coach Kris attempting to drown me while I'm swimming by sticking his foot in my face and pushing me underwater multiple times, I realized how much I love my team :). Even though I get frustrated with certain people, and even though sometimes I wanna hop out of the pool and hide in the locker room, I will admit I love my team. They're wonderful :) As I was driving home tonight from practice, Coach Denny honked his horn at me (the friendly honk, not the "idiot learn how to drive-honk") and I was just like "oh, how I love my team!"

But onto Renee's stupid mention of my birthday.

This will be the first time in 3 years I HAVEN'T gone to practice on my birthday, each year I typically regret it because Dennis think it's funny to kill us on our birthdays (how RUDE!), but since my birthday is on a WED this year, I wasn't going to go.

I've been swimming for Denny for 8 years. EIGHT. And not once have I had to endure the "birthday swim". It consists of either a 50/100 (depending on how old you are/what kinda shape we are in) of fly while everybody else lines the lane with kickboards to make waves, making it impossible to swim through without choking.

Well Renee texted our coach and told him my birthday was this week. Therefore, I should have to do a bday swim. Of course, the coaches jumped at the idea. THANKS BEST FRIEND! not.

Luckily, only 8 were at practice tonight, so it wasn't too bad. Dennis gave me fins because I was dying considering I just swam the hardest practice in a while. I timed it right to where I only breathed when nobody was around to splash me, DIDN'T choke on water (score!) and it wasn't too bad. *Sigh of Relief*

But Renee (since I know you read this), what do we say about paybacks? It's ON girl!!
