OK I am lying, I have it right here! I just though it would be nice to start this thread off early so we can all get a jump on the 2009 griping and complaining!

Rats, I was going to say lucky you. But you got it.
All right Captain Breaststroke... no fair. I haven't gotten mine. I always get mine about 3 weeks after it is posted on the web site. If I get it at all.
speaking of the jan-feb issue;
i think the letter by bart selby is so off the mark..... "wetsuits mandatory in water below 66 degrees"........ put a sweater on buddy and stick to terra firma.

I agree with your thinking on this one. I was swimming in San Fran bay, when it was about 60-61 degrees. It felt great! Why ruin a swim with a wetsuit.

just about any day of the week... any time of day.... one can find up to a dozen swimmers at aquatic park. many nekked.
it just goes to show that training in such conditions will prepare one to swim in such conditions. trying to make any activity totally risk free for everyone can only diminish the experience.

I haven't read this letter yet so I'm not sure what the context is, but 66 degrees is not when I've seen wetsuits become mandatory for an event. Coeur d'Alene Lake was quite cold (high 40's) a few weeks before Ironman Coeur d'Alene last summer, so the race organizers announced that wetsuits would be mandatory if the lake temp was below 60 on race day. The lake temp shot up in the last few days before the race, all the way to 59 degrees on race morning so we all swam in wetsuits.
