Brain Freeze

My coach tells me that 70 is not too cold. Not a real need for a neoprene cap.

Tell I tell you that I've done the majority of my laps in a pool 84 degrees?

And that I like it?

While it's true, that the mornings I've taken more time to get in the water than my first four laps take because it was cooler than normal I have swum faster(even before my lesson with Tim) than usual and felt better upon completion- comfort is my first concern.

My coach tells me to get in on Saturday morning for 10-20 minutes- get wet, swim out swim back and get out. No problem. The trick I think...is wanting to go back on Sunday and do it again knowing what I'll know then.

Two caps. Can help.
There's the sudden concern maybe ear plugs will keep cold out- but I don't train with them so it seems like a bad idea.
I do train with a nose plug- but am afraid that will fall off. I may try the wrap around the neck version this morning and see if that is worth the switch.

The goggles I have leak just a little and I adjust them a lot. I'm tightening this morning before jumping in- so see if I can fix that.

Last minute worries. They aren't about chemo, radiation, losing my hair, being able to work, or fear of not seeing my son play next season. I have few worries. I have luxuries.
