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 along with many others doubt that he swam the entire distance of the course (again, he beat a handful of current NCAA top qualifiers, a fmr 5k open water world champ and dropped nearly 13 minutes off his best ever 5k)... after reading the posts above this seems to be the only plausible explanation for his "unbelievable" time. Amongst hundreds of swimmers far from lead pack he very well could have either knowingly of unknowingly veered off course; offering an advantage.
