Have you ever noticed that the older you get, the more perfect everything has to be for a good swim? Not a "great" swim, just a good swim. The water is too hot, the water is too cold, I got a crick in my back last night while sleeping, my suit is riding up, my favorite people to push me aren't here today, and on and on!! For a truly great swim, I think I have begun to believe in Biorhythms. Ever heard of them? www.facade.com/.../
I'll do okay if my physical is on the bottom, but if my emotions are on the bottom, forget it -- I'm talking meets, workout, whatever! Anyways, just wondering, how perfect do all the conditions have to be for you to have a good/great swim? :bliss:
For me, at my very pathetic level of in-shape-ness -- certain intervals require "perfect" conditions. I can keep 20 x 100's on the 1:20 (yards) pretty much without effort
For some such a set would feel like a major accomplishment and we would prefer not to think of ourselves as having a worse-than "very pathetic level of in-shape-ness". It seems to me that you either have some significant talent or much better in-shapeness than your admit to. (I suspect a measure of each.)
