Sensory deprivation
I swam 4,200 meters this morning. Eighty-four laps. That's a little longer than the swim in an ironman-distance race. It's about as much fun as...
- riding a stationary bike facing the wall, wearing earplugs, for an hour and a half.
- running 84 laps at a track with blinders on.
- walking up, and then back down, the fire-escape stairs of the 84-story Standard Oil Building in Chicago, holding your breath for three steps at a time.
BORING.

i don't know why, but this post is making me all sentimental for long swims in the pool...no kidding!!!
