I Can't Wait Till Spring!!

Nothing better than a Spring Swim in he open water--sun shinning--no wind--smells and taste of salt water--bouyancy of the salty water--ungulation of the long slow ocean swell--elation at the end of a long steady workout standing in the sand with a towel and water bottle happy that winter is overwith....dog-gone winter is just beginning... If someone can offer a description of a winter time pool swim that rival's the open salt water, I might be a bit more motivated to knock out the 4000m leaping off the page of my training sched. planned for the long course pool this Sat a.m. I love this sport - especially in the open water...
