You do know that there are currents in the bay.
My guess would be that the majority of participants pulled probably missed the finish....
I train with swimmers that routinely train in water well into the 30's. Its not rocket science, its adaptation.
.... same at the other extreme. I have no desire to race in water over 80 degrees, but if I had entered such an event, I wouldn't let race day be my first exposure to that condition.
You're right, it's not rocket science. It's human physiology.
The point is that the water temperature very likely did contribute to the man's death. To argue that it didn't is absurd.
Are there really currents in the bay?
