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?

    Andy Seibt's time in Chicago was 56:21 hmmmmm.... Yes, we all know that on many levels this is an unfair comparison but you've got to be kidding me. Someone I know who swam said the course was short and looked more like 4700-4800 meters. (He is RD for an OW series that includes a 5K). Of course even at that distance his time would be impressive.
