Back to the Gym

I was anxious to get back to the Gym. I was able to go on Saturday and Sunday, when there is usually no one there but today- there were people there.
I had forgotten about all those new years resolutioners newbies who are now at the gym. Adding to the issue, the lap pool is CLOSED, so all those lappers were in the "girls" pool too.
It was exhausting. First, it makes me tired because for some competitive reason, I try to keep up with them. They beat me hands down every time. Then in additional to the faster speeds, they rough up the water and it is like swimming in a tsunami.
I was exhausted before my 1 1/2 hour was up.
Luckily the three guys in the pool who were doing jumps and taking pictures of each other doing it, provided quite the entertainment to keep jogging at least.
I can only hope they were filming so they could improve their technique, With Newbies it is hard to predict.
A few more weeks and it will all be back to normal.
