"North Pier to Wisconsin St and Back Swim": Aftermath

No swim today & probably no swim tomorrow.  When I was on my last third of yesterday's swim, my left deltoid/shoulder started hurting.  I'll need to rest the shoulder.  I have my TENS unit pads on it now.
I know what happened.  Because I can't turn my head well, especially to the right, I exaggerate my left arm pull to allow me a bit more time to breathe on the right side.  On the long swim, this strained the left shoulder.  Oh, well.  At least my neck held up well. 

Maybe I'll go in tomorrow for some kicking with the fins on my back...
