The 7 Stages of Swimming Grief:
- Shock and denial - The water can't possibly be that cold, maybe someone else should take a reading
- Pain and guilt - My feet really hurt! If only I'd bought better booties.
- Anger and bargaining - F*ck this!! But maybe if I come every day it will get warmer
- Depression - It's never going to get warmer.
- The upward turn - Wait, is it getting warmer?
- Reconstruction and working through - I will go to Lake Effect and buy more stuff.
- Acceptance and hope - I will swim regardless. But maybe it will get warmer?

Ha! I feel this!
Hammer (Showgirl), meet nailhead (the hardships of open water swimming in the spring in Lake Michigan when you're not one of those folks who does it year round)!
Excellent analysis - you should publish!
This is funny because it's true. Still chickenshit but hopeful.
