High School Meet in Oregon City
January 16th, 2008 at 10:04 pm (Swimming)
Last thursday I took the bus with my high school swim team to Oregon City for a meet. I had forgotten how fun “charter bus meets” are… It’s like throwing a bunch of people with high metabolisms in a small room that moves for an hour and seeing what happens.
I swam the 200 IM, 400 free, and two relays. I got clobbered in the 200 IM by a club swimmer from Canby (Oregon City’s only club swimmer), but I sort of pwn3d in the 400. Unfortunately, I don’t know what any of my times meant because it was a short course meters pool.
The whole way back a few geeks and I were talking about Weird Al, Networking, and Leopard vs. Vista on a bus full of people. I’d like to mention that doing so takes guts. But nobody complained, so I guess it’s just more evidence that we geeks are taking over the world!

how does it take guts… i would imagine that people would ignore you. and who was the club swimmer.

They didn’t ignore us… People seemed quite enthralled, actually. And I’m not sure what the club swimmer’s name was, but I saw him a few times at the CAT meet.
