So I am new to long distance swimming, and I am quickly falling in love:smooch: but...sometimes, those really long consecutive swims bring out the ADD in me. So what are some things you guys think about when your swimming for hours consecutively?

Yes, I think I tend to be just about an equal mix of both OCD and ADD. I am an interval trainer by nature, so swimming for these long consecutive swims was a big change. I asked for the swimp3 for christmas or my birthday, and I think adding that to my training will significantly improve me attention span.
generally now I do need to focus a bit on technique as I have had shoulder problems, including bi-lateral shoulder reconstruction surgeries. I also go through the alphabet and name people I know who start with each letter, food that starts with each letter and animals, thats helped a bit, but I was wondering what else everyone thinks about while they swim:-D??
math equations would not be wise for me, hee hee, I am definatly not a mathamatician, I would end up having to swim for hours upon hours!
