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?
Again kirk, you are ignoring the "I led from the start," comment.
I did because I agree with E=H2O, this is just too difficult to know for sure. It's hard enough to see all your competitors in a pool. In an OW race with probably 100 people in your wave I don't know how you can be sure you're leading. Even if this person knew they were leading at the start it would be pretty easy for someone to sneak by especially once they started passing swimmers from the preceding wave.
