Swimming Blind

Well, after bringing 2 children out into the freezing MN weather (-something or other out there) I arrived at the Y without my goggles. The only pair of goggles in the lost and found were a child's pair that were worse than wearing nothing . . . so I did my 60 minute swim today without goggles. Not fun! I'm not a big fan of swimming anyway, and without the goggles I spent a fair amount of time banging into the wall and the lane dividers. Oh, well. I figure that now that I've done it, it won't be such a huge deal if my goggles break right before a race or if they are kicked off during a race. Plus, I seemed to be able to concentrate on my form a little bit more since I wasn't distracted by the people swimming in the lanes next to me. But, I'm buying an extra pair of goggles tomorrow and putting them in my bag.
