So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:

Had my very first open water race this AM and didn't finish last! Actually did a lot better than I expected - a 1/2 mile in a cool 17:29, according to the results sheet. More than two minutes faster than my pool time three weeks ago! So proud to have finished and done not half bad. I was one of only two or three folks not wearing wetsuits. (Out of a 1/2 mile field of 20 or so?)
