Take a look around,
you're not the only one working here.

Ya, so, you made it all the way to the start line. I have to smile. Hey, two days ago you were strutting around like you were going to win. Now you just look like your gonna have a coronary. Well that's what the reality of 2700 people in a swim start can do to you.

Me? I'm just lookin' for my new best friend. That's right, the one person. male or female. going just a little bit faster than me in the water. The thing is, if that person slows down, I'm off and hey, if they want to jump on for my turn on the front, so be it.

There can be great relationships formed in that hour in the water. There is a lot of give and take and only one rule. Don't touch my feet. If you don't know how to draft, don't start learning in my wake.
Anyway its kinda like a one night stand. The second you get your feet on solid ground you don't even know who the person was you just spent the last hour with. Sometimes you even feel a bit used.
Oh well, who's next?
