Anybody have great aquatic plans for Labor Day weekend? Should be spectacular in Chicago area - 3 days of warm, warm weather (come on up, Hoosier!) will be a good time to do long lake swims in preparation for Big Shoulders, next weekend. I'm going to try a 2-miler sometime over the next 3 days.

Swimming a 1.5 in Quassapaug Lake, CT this weekend!
Totally wonderful! Is that in northwestern CT? In 1970 I visited a friend's summer home on a lake and went to a concert - Music Mountain? - a famous concert place, anyway. I liked the whole of it. Looked like a splendid place to live.

I don't know VB. Candlewood lake is in Northern Fairfield county, which is west.
Got done the Pageant 1.5 Mile Ocean Swim in Atlantic City, NJ. This swim has been going on since the 1920s. I got 17th overall and 2nd in the 30-39 age group. I came in about 27 minutes, I think. I am just glad to finish it. Man, those waves were rough. I am glad that I got up and went this morning. I didn't like the 1.5 mile walk back to my car though. It was a good way to relieve excess taper energy left over from the Zone Champs last weekend. Now, I can pass out.
Back from my swim. Met the gang. Had a great race and shaved off 3-4 mins on 1.5 miles!
SwimStud,
Good job. Where was your swim this morning? 3-4 mins is a very studly drop.
