After a long ride I decided to change into my swimming trunks and jump right into the pool, I saw no reason not even shower, I was hot and I need to cool off quick. I took my laptop with me to the pool.
As soon I got there I put my laptop in the shade, lowered the screen brightness, and then I put some lounge music on at full blast which isn’t too loud really. I have to listen to music when I’m at a pool, it just feels nicer! I jumped right in and it was an amazing feeling. Its like being wrapped up in a cold blanket which is nice, I started swimming laps back and forth, at one point I was just floating in the water listening to the music.
I came to the conclusion that this is completely opposite to riding, when I’m riding everything is going by at 1 million kph and I have to think of everything that could happen, all the possibilities, anticipate people’s mistakes and what could go wrong and counter it automatically and feel engine at the same time while my adrenaline is off the chart, its amazing, but in the pool I’m completely relaxed with my brain floating off to different and just thinking about different things and one thought pulling another. Just an amazing feeling floating and a few times I bumped my head to side because I forgot that I was floating. A very nice day and then I swam 15 laps more after relaxing in the pool. When 45 minutes was up I went straight up and took a shower, and I felt all fuzzy for the rest of the day. I think I will be swimming more often.
