Swimming, Drowning, same thing

Yesterday was my swim day. Right before I got in the pool my swim cap ripped in half. I have never swam without a cap before, but I figured it would be fine. The pool was full also. I started swimming and felt like I could barely swim. I felt like I was sinking, my bangs were in my face, and I was going really slow. It was pretty much how I swim in a race. So I figured out my problem during races....I am not used to swimming with a lot of other people. So I need to be thankful when the pool is full at the gym. Saturday I made tentative plans to ride my bike to the beach. Last Saturday had such beautiful weather so hopefully that continues. Oh, I swam 50 laps.
