Although I swam a backstroke workout on Sunday, yesterday was my regularly scheduled backstroke day, so I did some more. I mean, why not? Someone did try to get in with my “partner” and I and force us to circle swim. Any other day? Sure. On backstroke day? No. He ended up in the lane next to us, and, yes, I would’ve run over him even doing backstroke.
