The Pirates game on Sunday was awesome (they won!) and hot. I put sunblock on only to sweat it off about 2 minutes later! Pictures from the game:
$6 for a bag of cotton candy *sigh*

We look tan?!
Leopard bra + baggy tank top = bad idea haha
Since it was SO hot outside Hannah, Molly, and I went in the shade and stumbled upon a prize wheel. You had to be 18 or over to spin it so we got in line because I’m over 18! (by more than a year) and when we got to the front of the line the woman who was going to let me spin totally didn’t believe I was 18. She was like “Are any of you 18?” I was like “Yeaaaaaah i’m 19” UGH! Needless today, I spun the wheel and won a Pirates coffee sleeve that my brother put on his coffee this morning before work.

Today I did something different and new!!
I swam with a masters team this morning from 6:00-7:00AM
Only 3 other people swam and I loved having my own lane! I didn’t realize how much I missed swimming with a team and having an actual practice. When I swim on my own at my gym I don’t push myself… at all. It was strange to be “pushed”!
I really enjoyed swimming with older people because it was totally different from a club/high school/college team where stress is involved in each practice: getting there every day, being on time, swimming hard every practice, getting good times in meets.
I like to swim, and I love to swim on my own terms.

Do you like to exercise with a team or on your own terms?
Living My Full Life 
Looks like you had so much fun!:) I mostly swim on my own or with a swim buddy but I also swim with the masters. My mom coaches it…
Looks like a fun game! I would have been all about that cotton candy too. 🙂
I like both forms of exercise. Being pushed by a team is awesome, but as busy as life gets going it alone makes much more sense and is less stressful.
Cotton candy is simply the best 🙂 Looks like a great game!
I like exercising alone, but also with a team. Sometimes it’s just more convenient doing it by yourself though
i totally am similar!! if I dont have a coach or a trainer or a classs… I’m not nearly as pushed…and don’t work as hard!!
love that shirt and leopard bra!! 😉
YAY FOR SUMMER GAME DAYS! 😀 my fav!
I’m not competitive by nature, so if I’m playing with a team it’s usually a veeery relaxed game of kickball or tennis 🙂 I think playing sports with other people can make it a lot more fun!
Swimming is seriously TOUGH– good for you, girl!
I never was a big competitive or team player – I love running, swimming etc., but I prefer to do that on my own. I love when I have my own line in the pool, I don´t like when someone is breathing behind my neck 🙂
It all depends on my mood. Sometimes I prefer working out alone while other times I love (and need) someone to work out with me! Actually I think I would be fine with working out with someone all the time as long as I get in one workout that day by myself.
I love to swim on my own terms, too. Swimming is such an individual sport, so it makes sense to me to do it on my own.
Ugh… I get asked if I am over 18 ALL THE TIME (I am 19)! In fact most people think I am like 15 :/! I guess it might be good when I am 30?… I have to say I like to exercise in a group or team as well (although I usually exercise by myself). I also find I also don’t push myself as much as I do when other people are “watching.” 😉
I do like exercising with a friend, but I’ve never been a team player. Well…except cheerleading and track. I’m not competitive.
PS- you girls are so stripey and color coordinated with eachother!
mmm cotton candy! That is some good stuff!
I actually haven’t worked out with a team for a long time..since my dance team days! However, I love working out with my sister–chatting while ellipticaling makes it go by so much faster.
THe game looks like lots of fun! I hate how expensive EVERYTHING is at a game though!
To be honest with you – I haven’t practiced with a team in SO long. I do kind of miss the feeling, though!
Yay for the coffee sleeve and the Pirates winning!!! Looks like such a fun time 😀
I think I like exercising on my own terms best (weight training, swimming, horseback riding) because sadly all of my past experiences with teams have been kinda lame haha
I hear the Pirates have been doing really well! Glad they won for you while you were at the game 🙂
Ahhh! I’ve been looking for a masters swim team to join! I dunno if I’m any good.. I mean I swim 50 yds in 42-45 seconds when I’m pushing myself.. haha is that good enough? I’d hate to join and then be awful at it.
I’ve never swum (swam?) with a master’s team! I bet it would be an awesome atmosphere though.
Okay so…I am babyfaced apparently. (Or maybe it’s because I’m short. Either way.) I got kids menus until I was 16 years old (seriously. SIXTEEN), and I am in my 20s and married (for TWO YEARS) and people still don’t believe I’m over 18. 😡 So I feel your pain. haha
I actually like working out on my own, but that’s largely because I’ve always only been by myself, haha. I do like team sports, though!!
Love the striped shirts! I really like them. 🙂 Glad you guys had fun!
I totally understand what you mean about the difference between “team sports” and sports for fun. I played every sport in middle school and then started to back away in high school when things got super intense and competitive. I loved intermurals my freshman year of college though – it brought the fun, low-key play back that I enjoyed! I’m not competitive with others, so I think that was a big part of it.
looks like a fun time outdoors with the game and swimming!
Glad you had a great swim workout! I don’t swim but I do run with a team and on my own. I noticed that I am more likely to take walking breaks on my own than I am with my team. Haha. Ooops! 😉
I have that same tank 🙂 target?!
Yes, Target!!
Master swimming is hardcore. I haven’t done it though. Haha. It’s at my gym at 5:30 AM and I just know everyone is literally a master at swimming.
