Your perfect training session (environment)

I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law in Laguana Nigel (over 30 yrs ago), and would like to tell you about a workout environment that I would love. I woke up to a wonderful sunrise, walked out on the backyard patio and watched some golden eagles fly over a winter field (wheat I think). In the distance was I mountain that was snowcapped. I got my swim suit on and took a dip in her heated pool (air temperature was already in the 70's). At night, the stars were abundant as I held my Margarita and sipped it with my arms drapped along the side of the pool. I didn't get to workout that morning or at night (they had a small kidney shaped pool with a jacuzzi) but if her pool was bigger, I could have done something like this: I would have trained in the morning with a set comprised of mostly drills and DPS work along with a couple race-pace swims. At night I would have done some easy drills, streamlining drills, underwater (SDK) work and a lot of kicking (so I could look at the stars). At the night practice I would have had some mood music playing along with a glass (plastic) or two of Margaritas. I know it sounds kind of corny but hey, from where I'm from (Michigan) you don't get chances like that very often. With a bunch of friends, I think we could make these workouts addictive. Have a great day - the only way.
