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.
At 230 pounds, my pace is probably pretty good. I'm a football player turned runner turned triathlete. This will be my third year doing tris and I'll see if I can drag myself across the Ironman Wisconsin Finish Line in September.

It's that time of year again
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.

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.
