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?
Guys, I do agree that Seibt's result is remarkable, but it certainly isn't impossible. Just think of Bob Beamon's long jump in the 1968 Olympics. He jumped 8.90 meters (29 ft 2.5 in.). His career best jump before this was 8.33 m (27 ft 4 in)! Yes, I realize there were lots of factors contributing to this jump, but the fact remains that sometimes seemingly impossible athletic achievements do happen.
