Twenty = Veinte

It's funny that today's spanish word of the day is "veinte". not funny haha, just funny in a coincidence sort of way. it would have been better if "treinta" (30) were the WOTD. i started counting the laps when i swim. in Spanish. i'm not swimming in Spanish, just counting in Spanish. so i guess it's only funny because for 10 minutes this morning i had "veinte" in my head... Veinte Uno... Veinte Dos... Veinte Tres. I guess I see veinte laps as kind of a hurdle. Up until then the swimming feels like a warm-up. But by veinte, I've invested a bit of time in my swim, and I have to decide if I'm going to keep it short and sweet, or go the distance. This morning I went the distance: treinta y tres (33) laps. There are 32.2 laps in a mile. So I feel pretty good about that.
