To start preparing, I got out my wetsuit (it still fits) and swam about 800m at Meydenbauer bay park in Bellevue. The water temperature was 64 degrees according to the lifeguards, but the county data said 70 degrees.

Just for the heck of it I swam 100 without the wetsuit, and it actually wasn't that bad once I got moving. I plan to stick with the 1 mile wetsuit race (already registered).

I figure I'll go over to the park on Friday and swim around sans-wetsuit and see how it feels. Also because I want to figure out visually the finish so I'm not heading off to 520 thinking I suddenly am out in front and left everyone in the dust when they turned in a 100 yards back :)
