Last week, intern Kelly Lennon posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/66-thoughts-you-have-during-the-1650\/\">66 thoughts you have during the 1650<\/a>, which can be a\u00a0grueling, mind-numbing event. But let&#8217;s face it, you probably thought about more than 66 things during the 15-20 minutes you were following the black line on the bottom. Here are 66 <em>more<\/em> thoughts that might&#8217;ve gone through your head the last time (or only time) you raced the mile!<\/p>\n<p>1. All right, here we go! Only 65 lengths to go!<br \/>\n2. Two lengths down, this is going well!<br \/>\n3. I&#8217;m glad I signed up for this race, now I can check it off the bucket list.<br \/>\n4. Geez people, slow down! We still have like 1,500 to go!<br \/>\n5. I feel good, I think I can hold this pace.<br \/>\n6. Hopefully I&#8217;m not going out too slow\u2026<br \/>\n7. Whatever, the people who went out too fast will pay at the end.<br \/>\n8. 200 down! Long and strong.<br \/>\n9. Or maybe more like slow and steady.<br \/>\n10. I hope I actually look like I&#8217;m moving\u2026<br \/>\n11. I&#8217;m so glad I&#8217;m not a distance swimmer!<br \/>\n12. This is already longer than my usual races.<br \/>\n13. Only a few more lengths till 500!<br \/>\n14. Darn I wish I could see the clock from this lane.<br \/>\n15. Racing would be awesome if you could see your time while you were swimming!<br \/>\n16. I&#8217;d be so much faster!<br \/>\n17. Actually I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d try any harder in a mile, this is fine.<br \/>\n18. Maybe a little bit.<br \/>\n19. Long and strong!<br \/>\n20. 500 down! That actually went by fast!!<br \/>\n21. This isn&#8217;t as bad as I was expecting.<br \/>\n22. Hopefully the rest goes by that quickly!<br \/>\n23. I have no clue where I am, am I ahead?<br \/>\n24. Or behind?<br \/>\n25. I can&#8217;t read the counters in the other lanes.<br \/>\n26. I probably shouldn&#8217;t be trying to read them.<br \/>\n27. I wonder if I look fast?<br \/>\n28. Or like I&#8217;m totally dying?<br \/>\n29. My team seems bored, this must be a boring race.<br \/>\n30. I can&#8217;t wait for food after this!<br \/>\n31. Coffee sounds good too, maybe food and coffee.<br \/>\n32. Gotta refuel, 66 lengths is basically equivalent to a full practice.<br \/>\n33. Happy halfway, woot woot!<br \/>\n34. My cap is kinda coming off, should I fix it?<br \/>\n35. I can&#8217;t stop, but what if it comes off?<br \/>\n36. That would suck.<br \/>\n37. Maybe I&#8217;ll just try to pull it down when I turn.<br \/>\n38. Yeah, that should work!<br \/>\n39. Ok, that&#8217;s better, now stay like that!<br \/>\n40. My goggles are kinda foggy too. Ugh.<br \/>\n41. I can&#8217;t fix those. Oh well.<br \/>\n42. This is kind of boring.<br \/>\n43. I wonder if my teammate is tired of counting for me.<br \/>\n44. I lost track a long time ago so they better stick it out!<br \/>\n45. 45 lengths down! How many 50s is that?<br \/>\n46. Uhhhh\u2026<br \/>\n47. Math is a struggle.<br \/>\n48. 24&#215;50, so that&#8217;s 1,200! Only a little over 400 to go, yesssssss!<br \/>\n49. Almost there!<br \/>\n50. Shoulders are getting tired, oof!<br \/>\n51. I probably should&#8217;ve gone in the distance lane a few more times before this.<br \/>\n52. Whatever, we did a timed 3,000 one time, that&#8217;s like twice the distance.<br \/>\n53. I can make it!<br \/>\n54. Only 300 left!!!<br \/>\n55. Maybe I should try to pick it up a little.<br \/>\n56. Ouch I am struggling! Maybe not.<br \/>\n57. My arms aren&#8217;t working anymore.<br \/>\n58. Gonna be sore after this one!<br \/>\n59. Swimming never makes me sore!<br \/>\n60. Only 6 lengths to go!<br \/>\n61. I am never doing this again.<br \/>\n62. I should probably warm down after this.<br \/>\n63. Ugh, no thanks. This is enough swimming!<br \/>\n64. Almost there!<br \/>\n65. Last 50!! Last one, fast one!<br \/>\n66. DONE!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1650 freestyle is a long, long race.
