About Me: I'm 44, and live and work outside Portland, OR. Train on my own, and occasionally compete for Tualatin Hills Barracudas in local meets. I am a sprint breastroker through and through, though I can bluff my way through a 200 *** and some sprint freestyle (if my shoulders hold up).
I swam for a small team in Santa Cruz, CA through high school, and then walked-on at Cal in 1982. Barely missed NCAA cuts as a frehsman, took 1984 off to train for the Olympics in Holland, and made NCAA's as a junior and senior.
Swam for Holland in 1983, 1984 and 1985, and made the US Goodwill Games team in 1986 (though Holland didn't let me swim).
I took a 21 year break, and started swimming again in spring 2007. At the 2008 LCM Nationals I surprised myself with two good swims. I know I can swim (much) faster, and this blog will follow my quest to do so(!).

could you or have you swam in hagg lake this week? need to know how cold in early morning 7:00am. txs
It's definitely possible to swim in the lake this time of year. My expert opinion on temp would be "warm", with no wetsuit required.
