Big Shoulders 2009

Ok, so the more they email me, the more I get nervous about the water temp. Last year it was 69 which stung to get in, but it made for a nice swimming temp. By the end, though, my fingers and toes felt a little numb, but that could have been tired (??). But this year, it could be up to 10 degrees colder?! What to do when the coolest water I can find here in Cincinnati is 80?

    I have been working out with Andy for nearly 16 years. I have no doubt he did that time. I invite anyone who doubts it to join us for a work out of 50x100 @ 1:15 IF MR. Seibt went 50x 100's on 1:15 in LCM then MAYBE he could do a 5,000M in under 59. And if he did this set, and if he swam the Big Shoulders in 56 then we should expect at least a 15:30 or so in the 1650 this year. I hope you are right, Tom, because it would be really neat for a 51 year old to be putting up world class open water swimming times. But I really really doubt it. But for the record, and to atleast put some people on your side: you have witnessed 50x100's in LCM on 1:15?
