Does anyone else ever mentally hum a tune during swim practices and/or races? My personal favorite, when I am trying to summon energy from my exhausted body, is the 1812 Overture--I try to time it so the cannons start firing towards the latter part of the race.
I'd be interested to hear what goes through other peoples' minds as they swim, musical or otherwise.
Can anyone top this? We were doing 75's, and our lane leader lost count - stopped after a 50!
Many years ago, I was watching New England Division I Champs (Boston College, Umass Amherst, etc.). It was evening finals of the 200 free. BC had a freshman who was 1:39 or so in the morning, seeded first at night by a bunch. He went out hard, and came into the wall at the finish and finished hard, and started the fist-pumping for his victory. Unfortunately, everyone else just flipped, since it was only the 150.
