LOST Swim: Aug 27… oops, a little late!

Another great day in August... 30 swimmers, but a bit chilly at 58F!

Okay, so I’m a little slow on the draw!  Mel and Lynn took good care of everyone last week from what I understand.  Mel gave my usual safety speech and Lynn got some good pics!  But apparently they both forgot to turn the heat up like I usually do!  I leave them one little job! haha!

Apparently it was looking like the season was about to wrap up, the temp dropped considerably and dramatically from the mid 70’s to the high 50’s!  Still quite swim-able, but a little chillier than we’ve become accustomed to lately… it was 58F / 14C!

Even a few LOST Guests... they must be lost... Brian came all the way from the UK and Collis came from Texas! We're goin' GLOBAL!!!

Here’s what Mel had to say:

Hi Rob,
A decent turn-out even without our LOST leader…, 26, and 4 naked. Some
non-locals including David B from England and Collis from Texas! Also had
Francois/Frank who wants to cross Lake O next year. It was definitely
cooler, I guessed max of 64 when I put my feet in, but later when I got in
completely I guessed 60 (I couldn’t swim far due to shoulder pain but it was
so nice and fresh, I was glad I got in and dog paddled around at least a
little) Francois took the temp after and got it at 58… it was nice and
flat though. Cadence had a good paddle!

Get Grandma and the dog... it's fun for the whole family!

Everyone was wishing you and the other LOSTies well at Ironman Canada! and look forward to hearing details next week!

Shiny, happy people! (with apologies to REM!)
