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?

So you are all nuts and amazing. The ONE time I swam a mile I just zoned, sang, thought about the rest of my events, what I wanted for dinner, solved some of the worlds problems, etc. When I ran a lot I thought of all sorts of things, I did choreography in my head (I did gymnastics for a long time and would choreograph beam & floor routines), basically anything other than swimming ... during my MRI last year I tried to go through every season of Friends and think of the first and last episode of the season, I'd think about what I wanted to but at the grocery store, Nordstrom, Target ... Just relax and let your mind wander ... don't think about anything ... Oh, and Morgan, sprinting is better! :agree:
