I learned something today
I had a 2 mile swim on my schedule today. I normally swim the longer distances in the open water, but was informed last night by Alejandra that the beach at Shawnee Mission Lake was going to be closed today.
So I got to swim at the gym pool today.
But seriously, get this. I made an amazing discovery while swimming today.
Evidently, I burp a lot while I swim.
I know ths only because I had Chipotle for lunch today (no big surprise there). And with the extra spicy salsa to boot.
And for 2 miles today, I was burping up spicy salsa while I swam.
No, that's not a bad thing. Really, what taste would you rather have in your mouth. Is chlorinated, mildly salty pool water a better or worse taste than partially digested Chipotle?
I am seriously thinking about having salsa before any long workout involving a swim.
Two miles in the pool. That is 3520 yards. The pool is 25 yards long. We are talking about 70.5 laps. 141 lengths. I ended up swimming 75 laps. It took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
I swam back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth.

That, my friend, is hysterical and impressive all at the same time. Good work!
As a fellow burper, I can attest to actually hating the taste in my mouth. Although it happens to me when I run. But if I were a swimmer, I'm sure it'd happen then, too.
Great job sticking it through the monotony of the swim. :)
