A swimming video?

Yurtie, the wonderful Australian guy who volunteered to coach me this year, who btw is going to do a 15-freaking-kilometer swim soon (yep, all at once!) asked me to send him a video.

Of me swimming.

In my swimsuit, presumably.

"One length from the side, one from behind and one from in front. The behind and in front only need to be for about half a length."

Do you actually mean moving pictures OF MY BUTT IN THE WATER? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MAN!?!?

Gack. I am not going to like this. I think I would rather put out my eyes with a rusty coathanger than see my actual rear end swimming along on video.

I can tell him right now that it's not going to look anything like this.

Nancy! You do NOT resemble that gentleman in the photo!!!!! And as your training progresses, I suspect you will approach nearer and nearer to becoming one of those mermaids in the schwimmverein link.

In my peanut of a runner's brain, I run like Catherine Ndereba.

See the mermaid, be the mermaid.

Just be sure to make him sign a disclamer. I bet Pam and Paris wish they had ones before they were taped! ;)
