I did my first OW swim last summer. It was a blast. There were so many unknowns. So much anticipation, anxiety, fear, excitement, ect. Now that I have swum it once, will the second time (third time, fourth, N times...) be as exciting?
I did half marathon with my wife years ago, the Race to Robie Creek in Boise. It was 8 miles uphill, then 5 down. It was fun, but mainly for the same reasons; it was new, exciting, unknown, beautiful sights, ect. The second year (I ran the first year as a bandit) I ran it, it wasn't as fun as the first. I don't enjoy running like I do swimming, so I am hoping that is the case.
Thoughts?

i've logged almost 150 OW swims for the past decade..... every one of them a learning experience, and exciting in their own way.
