Imperial swim tonight.
A bunch of years ago there was a period of a couple of weeks when I swam almost everyday. I remember back then I used to get into this groove where everything would become sort of a blur, I'd have my eyes closed most of the time, I wasn't thinking about what I was doing, I was just in a kind of trance. A constant rhythm, probably some kind of local maximum of energy efficiency.
Well, today was my 20th swim since I started and it's only now I found that groove again. I was a little worried that it seemed too easy, I wasn't getting properly tired. But at the end of it the room was spinning and I was exhausted, so clearly it worked. Somehow it was hard to maintain it though, I had it for quite a few laps, then I lost it again.
Critically, today the pool was almost empty, and there's no way I can get in that groove having to dodge mofos all the time like it's been for most of this month.
