And today I wore a wetsuit top because the water was (I think) 78 degrees, and it felt cold even with the wetsuit.. and, worse yet, I DID quit because I panicked at being put in a lane that I didn't think I could manage, and once the brain is out of control, the rest follows. I wish the coaches understood what hell it is to "will" yourself through the workout when your brain is screaming that you're not going to survive. I know I am going to get there someday, but I'm SO discouraged by another setback...it's going to take a few days to get beyond this.. Claudia Rose, is amazing, I'll try to think of her next time I'm swimming! Wow!
