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.

For open water: Happy Birthday (over and over) and the alphabet(same) and U2 "stuck in a moment you can't get out of" substitute "current" for "moment" . In the pool one song per thousand in a 5000 straight i.e. I can't wait to get to that new usher song at 3000 (but I want to sing that one now - no, you can't even THINK that one til 3000 - creates quite an interesting internal dialogue, but what else is there to do?) Interval workouts I just hope for the best!
