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 always enjoy it and this year was no exception. The weather almost always seems to cooperate somehow. There were over 800 swimmers in the water this year and you could tell. Especially on the second leg of the second lap it seemed like there were constantly swimmers around me wearing several different colored caps. A couple times I thought I was going to get boxed out, but I always managed to find an opening to sneak through!
