Big Shoulders 2009

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?

    True. No offense to anyone (I'm not a great swimmer myself), but the 10k field wasn't even remotely as strong as it was in Chicago. I definitely agree with this. Just trying to balance out the results I posted early. However, a 5K race is a completely different animal than a 10K (and a 5K is a different animal than a 1500).
