First, a big thanks to GLC for the lap counter recommendation she posted on another thread. I got the basic model and love it. No longer have to "mantra" my lap count and can either zone out, sing to myself, or really focus on my form. One of the best $25 purchases I've made for swimming gear.

I'm getting pretty close to the 200 mile mark for the year, thanks to some recent long swims on Saturdays/holidays/days off and consistently swimming 2300 yards/day Monday-Friday.

Due to sinus/face pain from my speedo goggles during my longer swims, I went ahead and got the TYR Nest goggles that TE just got in stock (got mine from the local swim store). I decided to switch to them during my long swims, once my regular goggles start getting uncomfortable. The Nests are different. At first, I was worried they wouldn't work with my face (the nose bridge isn't adjustable) but they fit fine. The eyepieces are wider and the silicone eyecups form a very watertight seal. No leaks. The straps are so much easier to adjust than the speedos, too.

They are comfortable (at least for the 10 minutes I wore them today). Softer than the Speedos. Since they don't sit where the speedos sit, they are a huge relief (plus they have a softer feel, being more pliable). I have the ones with the light blue lenses.

My only beefs are: 1) the lenses fit close to the face so my eyelashes were touching them. Kinda creepy at first but I quickly adjusted. 2) the lenses distort your vision just a tad. Not a big deal.

I don't plan on wearing them for regular use but I will switch to them during longer swims, when my speedos start making my sinuses scream!
