Hey now, who are you calling a sissy!? I'll have you know that this is in fact a medicine ball, and my struggle to push it up this hill stems not from a crippling lack of coordination on my part but rather from the fact that it weighs roughly twice what I do! Strong-man elephant is more like it, thankyouverymuch!
Whoever guesses the weight of the otter most accurately wins bragging rights for the rest of their life!
Strength training is really important for competitive swimmers, so I always hit the gym to do a few hundred reps after I hit the pool to do a few hundred laps. Some people have accused me of being a workoutaholic, but I rather like to consider myself merely devoted to my occupation and one true love. Which is swimming, of course. Eating flies is a close second love, but swimming wins the most prized spot in my heart (most days, at least).
