Even though it's going to be a high of 58 today, I'm heading out for the first open water swim of the year. No clue what the water temperature will be. Luckily when I was little and lived in Massachusetts, my grandparents pool rarely made it above 70 degrees. It usually hovered around 68 degrees all summer.
I pulled out the wetsuit and soaked it for about 5 minutes since it's been hanging up all winter...and most of the summer and fall. It can't be as bad as the ice baths I've been taking.
Brrrrrr.... I am lucky to do all my OWS in Hawaii for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you doing OWS so early? I live near St. Louis across the river in Edwardsville.
ReplyDeleteSwim Bike Run is doing open water swims at Lake Aspen in Innsbrook every other Thursday. It's $25 or $30 depending on whether or not you're a tri club member. It turned out to be great, the water was probably around 70.
