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?

Unless someone comes forward w/ definitive evidence
I do not think that is necessary in this matter. There is plenty of circumstantial evidence and there is definitive evidence that someone cut. This isn't a criminal trial, we dont need "beyond a reasonable doubt," to conclude the results should be changed. I believe it is a preponderance of evidence for civil cases.
Do we have that?
Andy's personal swim history at this event suggest this is not possible.
The training times that Andy is presenting as proof do not suggest that this is possible.
The quality of the field suggests this is not possible.
Atleast one person saw a strong male swimmer cut the course (keep in mind this means 1 of only a handful of people) and claim to have led the race from the start.
