Alone with your thoughts in the open water, the questions you ask yourself are common among many open water swimmers:

1. Was that a shark?
2. Where’s the finish?
3. What’s the water temperature?
4. Why’s he wearing a wetsuit?
5. Can’t he swim straight?
6. Can’t she stop touching my feet?
7. Why is this kid so fast?
8. Why did they make the course longer?
9. How many more buoys?
10. Did I beat my buddy?
