What makes you (or makes you want) to stop your swim workout, aside from being tired or feeling hurt?
- Sharing Lanes: Sometimes when I go to share a lane with someone, I'll get in, they'll do another lap, and get out. I feel guilty. I have on a couple occasions gotten out when people want to split lanes with me, especially if they're annoying and touch me/swim into me.
- Team Practices: I don't know why, but if I'm not part of the team practice that's in the pool, I don't want to be there. Maybe I just feel lazy next to them.
- Thinking about food: Food (particularly donuts for some reason) makes me feel sick while swimming. I've thrown up in my mouth on several occasions due to thinking about food while swimming. I love food, I love thinking about food, but not while swimming.
- Little kid swim lessons: The last time i swam next to this I got smacked in the face with an oar to an inflatable boat.
- The creepy middle aged guy that hangs out at the end of my lane to stretch when there are 7 open lanes. Wearing briefs, giant goggles, and covered in hair. Doing odd exercises like thrusting the ground or stretching hs hip flexors widely on the diving blocks. :bolt:
- Broken pace clocks

Lets see? Besides the usual rant stuff-sharing lanes or yucky floaters?
I don't mind feeling sore,but intense pain would def. be a reason.I also usually am able to zone out during a workout,almost like meditating, and when I loose focus, sometimes it is just better to call it a day.At that point it just feels like I am fighting the water and my technique goes to crap and I know I will be in more pain then neccessary the next day.
The loosing focus part usually happens when there are extremely strong odors(BO,perfume,deck cleaner or food)or someone gets in the lane who is just a spaz.So I guess I'm back to the ranting....dang.:bitching:
