8 Laps Early in the Morning

We had an 8:00am seminar this morning, so I went to the Aquatic Center at opening - 6:00am. All but one of the lanes were full with swim teams. The "open" lane had one other person in it who seemed determined to crash into me. I would have done more, but didn't want to have to maneuver around my lane-mate. I did two warm-up laps and then 6 straight. My time was 9:58. I took a few minutes to watch the teens do their laps and was intimidated at their times - 30 seconds to do 50 meters. And I thought I was doing pretty good at 1:30ish!
