so we've discovered that, although easy, swimming the 500 is perhaps not very good for us.
for those of you who don't know what a 500 is, 500=500 meters freestyle. that's 10 laps, and a lap is swimming from one end of the pool to the other and back. if you don't know what freestyle is, you're dumb, and shouldn't waste your time reading this because there will be lots of big words you probably won't understand.
anyway, it takes me about 10 minutes to swim this event, and since there's not much else to do whilst swimming, i end up spending time in my own head. this isn't good for me. there's things in there that make even me shudder. but never the less, spend time we must so as not to reflect on the fact that our arms feel like they have ten pounds of lead in them, we can't breath freely, and at any given moment we might suddenly swollow enough pool water to choke us.
well, to keep my mind off this, and to keep from exploring too heavily in the depths of our brain, we devise a simple yet efficent plan: to let only random thoughts wander through our mind. (much simplier than our first idea, which was pondering the meaning of life.)
things that go through my head whilst swimming the 500.
