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.
The Bug brings up something I'd like input on. Three times recently, at all times of the day, I've had my workout stopped by lightning nearby (visible but no rain). This has all been indoors. Does anyone know if it is a real threat to swim indoors in a grounded facility during a storm? There is one pool locally here that only closes if the lightning strikes in the parking lot - again, it's an indoor pool.
Also, why close only the pool? Would it not also make sense that anyone indoors would be at risk? I mean if you are sitting on an all metal nautilus machine, are you at less risk than being in the pool?
I'd like someone to provide information on this topic.
