I'm happy to read these stories of triumph, and I applaud your success. I, however, tired of battling over so many deficiencies in the pools I was using, so I just quit swimming altogether. I figured it was easier just to give up than continue the fight, so that just adds to my admiration of your efforts.
Day before yesterday I biked ten miles in the pouring rain. When I finished, I had a mud streak up my back from my ass to my neck. My legs were covered in dirt off the road. My bike was a mess.
It was most excellent, more enjoyable than any of the workouts in these miserable pools.
I'm dissatisfied, though, because ten miles seems like nothing, yet my lungs burn and my legs are jelly afterward. I can't wait to get my distance up. Even so, as I'm huffing up the hills, all I have to do is think of hot water and idiots swimming down the wrong side of the lane, and I get a lovely burst of energy.
