I am a Blerch. 

I loved the section on vanity and that crunches are nothing more than people trying to head butt their own crotch.

I loved the part about him running in Japan. I lived there and I can tell you, that country is the land of the vending machine. One can find them anywhere, and they sell almost everything.

With stroke improvements I find that when I try and swim long I have lost any speed gains that I had because my stroke count just creeps up and up. I also feel like I'm running out of air.

I only had 6 weeks to prepare, so I pushed myself pretty hard while I was training. After my first figure competition, my trainer had me take a week off just to rest and recoup. Was this needed?
