BAD ASS

I swim a mile three times a week. Usually I swim freestyle and do kick turns at the wall, so it can get pretty boring. Back and forth, back and forth. Snore. Well today, some sleak tan thing in red pool boy shorts slips into the adjacent lane. He's swimming at a pretty good clip, but I know I can catch him. I'm nearing the end of my workout, but I speed up anyway, hoping to lap him before I have to get out.

But the dude speeds up! And for about three or four laps we are neck to neck. And then, just as I'm about to take him, he stops at the wall. Dah!
