I am officially no longer the self-proclaimed King of the Oak Square YMCA.

Today some random punkass-lookin kid showed up (he looked about the same age as me). We both entered the pool area at the same time, and there were two lanes that had a spot open (one guy was swimming in lane 4, another guy in lane 5). So it would make sense for us each to take the other half of each lane right? Well I don't know if this kid is dumb or what but I go stand by lane 4 ready to go in, and this punk ass also stands near the same lane ready to go in. I'm thinking to myself "WTF. bro, lane 5 has a spot open. We're not going to fucking circle-swim." I get in the water before he does so he moves over to lane 5 ok. BUT, once the other guy in my lane is done, this punk ass kid decides to MOVE OVER into my lane. Like what the hell are you doing? And as if this kid wasn't annoying me enough, he actually proved to be bit faster than me. Therefore, I am officially no longer the self-proclaimed king of this Oak Square YMCA. I have been dethroned.

I was planning on doing an easy 3x1000 set, but I was so demoralized when I saw this punk ass pass me on the second 1000 that I just did a 300 instead of a third 1000 and got out of the water.

Hey, I may be #2 in this pool now, but sometimes being #2 is what you need. Ask Lonzo Ball.
