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.

Geesh guys!
And I thought I was the only one who did this. I never know just how far I have swum on distance because I get lost with some song in my head. I have to rely on the clock now.
The favorite? "Daybreak"- that Barry Manilow song from that Kathleen Turner movie Serial Mom." Annoying perhaps, but catchy and I never seem to get tired of it.
Otherwise, for some strange reason, it will be Rachmaninoff- usually Concerto 3 or 4.
Nice to know I am not alone :)
