In my pool workouts, I get annoyed when someone in my lane accidentally frog-kicks me. Or makes a big splash while I'm taking a breath. So when it comes to mass starts, it's safe to say that I'm not a huge fan of getting punched in the ribs/kicked in the nose/swum over. That said, swimming laps in the pool can be frightfully boring. The full 2.4 mile distance is about 154 widths of a 25 meter pool. It takes a really long time to swim that far. (This morning I swam 140 widths at low intensity, and it took me 1 hour & 25 minutes.) Often the only thing that keeps me motivated is the primal fear of running out of gas in the middle of the swim.
