I train with my swimming club every week and this week it turned out our coach had invited another group he was also coaching to train with us - university students. There were about five of us and eight of them. Immediately I thought I'd probably struggle to keep up with them because they were all a few years younger than me. A couple of the boys looked like competitive swimmers (and really hot) and none of the girls were out of shape.
That's why I was surprised when half of them started to struggle after the 300m warm up. Our coach seemed to have planned an easier set than what we normally did to accommodate the range of abilities. One of them still got a cramp and they liked to climb out and sit down after each 50m sprint which I found amusing. But I said nothing.
Anyway so it seemed the effort I put into training did pay off. I never trained as hard when I was a student. And I should be more confident with my abilities now - I didn't have low self-esteem but I was never one to show off.
