An Elegant Sufficiency

Three things

I stepped into the pool this morning ready to rock and in the next half hour learned three important things.

  • I need to switch on and set my FitPro 2 in the changing room, before I take my glasses off, otherwise I can't see what I'm doing.  (I had to leave it on the poolside with my towel this morning)  The Finis Duo worked first time and was excellent!
  • My playlist needs some adjustments.  Leonard Cohen might be fine in the car (I simply copied the playlist from an old USB stick) but Bird on a Wire doesn't really work in the pool.  I found the best tracks were upbeat pop, Motown and the occasional bit of Dean Martin (though this works better than this!)  It's also not a good idea to even think of singing along, especially when The Beatles' Help starts up.
  • There's a Spotify app on my FitPro2, which means I could probably have loaded a playlist onto that and bought a waterproof wireless headset instead of the Duo, but you know, I think that might have been just one clever trick too many!

I foresee hours of entertainment - before I even get in the water.
