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?
My favorite part of the sport. No 2 races are ever the same even at the same venue.
Yup, everyone is different and conditions are usually always different as well!
Absolutely. I've done one race now four years in a row and its different every time. Plus, the more 'party/energetic' atmosphere that I see at OW races makes them even more fun than pool racing.
Reminds me of sex
... that you're waiting to see if the second time is still as fun as the first?
