Worth waking up for

[andygates]

The benefits of early morning swims are many, but the following should not be underestimated: returning from the pool to one's vehicle, and being bounded past by a tanned twenty-something athlete with legs up to her armpits, in rainbow hotpants, carrying a pair of spike patent-leather heels; the entire spectacle illuminated by golden morning light.

Whether the benefit of which I speak is that fine and carefree athletic carriage, or just the view, I shall leave up to the reader.
