… well, at least it was sunny!
Actually it was a beautiful day and the water was flat as glass… it’s just that this dang Lake isn’t really cooperating this year! We had a few nice stretches where it got up to 74F – 76F… but then it rolled over, like it should… but then it never heated up again! I guess we are making up for the unusually warm water we had last year. Oh well.
All that is to say that the water on Saturday was a whopping, mid-August temp of 57F! Mike was in the game though… as Bill was away on his adventure out in the Maratimes with Mel… Mike was in charge of setting up the buoys this week… and he cut the loop down a bit! From 750m to 450m!
But, as is typical of the tough bunch of LOSTies… we all got in (well except Owen and Bud!… yes, I saw you guys sneak away!)… all 42 of us… and swam a loop. In fact, it was just like I had predicted. The first loop was the hardest, but by the time you got back to the start, you’d be warmed up and fine. Most people did 3 or 4 loops. It ended up being a really nice swim!
Good job everyone… see you next week… and for as long as the Lake will let us! (maybe mid-Sep?!).
Cheers,
Rob
