Swimming and the Gym

This morning I went to the gym to do a swim workout. This was a tough workout. I had the pleasure of doing an 800yd timetrial (an all out effort). I remained consistent for most of the timetrial (TT), but my muscles became super tired after the first 200yds.
Thinking back on it, I probably could have pushed myself harder. I have a hard time digging deep in workouts, and especially for swimming.
I swear, my TT speed is the same, if not slower, than my normal pace. I guess my form goes to shit when I try to speed it up. Plus I waste a lot of energy.
Anyways, after my workout I was in the locker room at my gym getting ready for work. In the locker room there is a TV, and it's usually tuned to ESPN. I guess they were talking about the Duke Lacrosse rape scandal.
While I'm getting dressed I hear some douche-bag (DB) say "exotic Dancer?!? Why don't they call her what she is - a stripper? She's probably a whore too!"
The guy who said this was super loud, and every one in the locker room could hear him. The gym I belong too is a little more affluent than most other gyms. The people here are supposed to be educated, but this DB sounded like he was some frat boy. The sad thing is this DB was a 40 something man.
I have no clue why this bugged me so much, but it did. I guess it had to do with the fact the DB was so loud. Some of comment is true, the accuser is a stripper, but the anger in this guy's tone just rubbed me the wrong way.
I'm usually a really chill guy. I don't usually automatically dislike people that I haven't met, but there is the special few who send out that vibe. The vibe that says they are obnoxious a-holes. The same vibe this DB sent out.
The good thing about this country is we allow people to be obnoxious a-hole DB's and say what they want. The bad thing is some people take up this right to be obnoxious a-hole DB's.
