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?
BTW, has anyone talked to Andy or the BS organisers about this or is it just bitching?
I just wanted to let everyone know I went back and deleted my posts that called the results into question. Amanda is right, the correct course of action here is to email Big Shoulders and ask them to verify the results. It's certainly OK to make sure there wasn't some problem with the results, it's not OK to single out one swimmer here just because he swam fast. My apologies to Andy and congrats on the awesome swim.
