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:

I'm happy with my new 800m PR of 13:09, down from 13:12 on Jun 26th.
(However, I''m a bit bummed at the minimal progress at 800m over that period, when compared to other (shorter) distances. I have a theory: 800m is a huge slog, because most of my sessions total less than 1500m, and I rarely swim more than 400m at once. I'm beginning to stagnate at 800m because I am not respecting the distance in training. I'll fix that.)
