It does get tiring after awhile, as much as I'm almost always happy in the pool. But its pretty weary to the bones and strenuous for the muscles, how long more can i do this, 2,3,4,5,6,7 years? Can I keep up this intensity? Or is it just a first sea games thing? A senior just told me today, as much as you might think others don't love the game enough to sacrifice other aspects of their life for it, they will probably be thinking that some of us love the game too much that we can even sacrifice other aspects of our life. Sigh just a random thought.
