I feel like a rocket!

I was said to me before finals of a Sectional meet 4-5 years ago. It was said while I was giving race advice to a swimmer that I am pretty sure he did not hear. It was to to me immediately after the phrase...wait for it..."Don't worry about a thing coach" Now why does that phrase always make a coach worry?

Always interesting to be on the other side of things. We went to th track today. 800, 1K, 1 mile, 1K, 800. All at 1/2 marathon pace. I felt really good. ...oops. Was too fast on everything and for a guy who has always thought that he can guess his pace well, I was like the North Korean rocket, a little all over the place. 3:00, 3:55, 6:18, 3:46, then a warm down 3:20. Sorry coach. I am not sure that the fat kid has a 1;22 half marathon in him, but that would be sweeeeeet.

Anyway, I really did feel like a rocket.
