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?

  • You're right, all of us, ALL OF US, are dweebs and online haters. In fact knelson and I have been posting here for 7+ years for the opportunity to spring this on someone. We have been diligent about posting for this single opportunity! Sucks for you Andy, but you are the target of our master plan!!! High 5 knelson, we pulled it off! Gee, and I thought the discussion forum WAS for all us on line haters ... God forbid we discuss issues of controversy ... I agree with pkerch, OW has to clean up its act. OW swimmers can't be allowed performance enhancing suits and a pass on the rules. If people like Chris get DQ'd for going past 15 meters in a race, then OW swimmers should be DQ'd for missing buoys. (Not saying that happened here, but it sure sounds suspicious.)
