First time back, without being sick, in the pool since swimming open water all summer. Wow, it’s hard! There are no birds to see as I reach for a breath, and no log to hang out at and chat in the middle of the lake. Just the same old line over and over. I kept running into the wall and had a hard time finding my mojo…in fact didn’t find it until Jesus Christ Superstar (I sing showtunes in my head to track my laps, and J is at 1000 yards, so I use the play JCSS. It’s easier than counting using numbers. I know one mile is Rent and if I get to Xanadu I can sing anything I want for Z.)

Felt pretty okay…not great, just kind of wonky.
