You could argue that swimming is a time-based sport. After all, everything from practice sets to meet cuts are based around the clock. We race against ourselves, but we also race against time. While we’re told the race against ourselves is the more important of the two, it’s hard to block out the omnipresence of the clock.
I love racing. I love the feeling of best times. I love feeling fast in the pool, and utilizing that burst of speed at that perfect moment to out touch the swimmer next to you. I fell in love with that at the first time I won my heat at a summer swim meet at the age of eight, when I touched the wall a body length ahead of the heat and was so shocked that I beat everybody else a photographer captured the moment of me with my mouth hanging open in disbelief. I still have that photo framed in my kitchen at home.
I wanted that feeling again. In fact, I’ve spent the past decade chasing it. But, this year, I’ve given that dream up.
