Last night the shaving experiment was put to the ultimate test. Did I swim faster?
We went out to the pool Sydney Olympic Aquatic Centre. It was a really fun night, lots of the college guys came down to support the team. I swam backstroke in the medley relay. (Backstroke is the one stroke I don’t do… but apparently neither does anyone else).
My legs felt really good in the water! It was as though they weren’t even there. Was I any faster? Maybe a little. Worth it? Nope. Regrets? None.*
(I’m in the red cap)
*No regrets yet. Check back for updates as hair regrows. I’m told it’s insanely itchy.
Funny story:
Mum came to watch. She couldn’t find me, so asked one of the other swimmers:
“Do you know where Andrew is?”
“Andrew? As in Andrew-With-The-Shaved-Legs?”
“Umm… well, if it is… its new…”
Great. Now I’m Andrew-With-The-Shaved-Legs.
Funny story 2:
One of the other guys shaved his legs too. And then managed to score a long-legged speed suit to wear… sucker!
