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?

    And the moral of the story is - never swim faster than others think you should swim. I assure you aquageek: if I ever beat a a college kid who is considerably faster than me in the 400IM while I do freestyle feel free to tell me I didn't do the whole race. Yeah you read that right. Andy couldn't beat this guy in a heads up race if it was freestyle vs IM (This summer: 4:32 in 400M IM, I doubt Andy can do it under 4:40* freestyle). The moral of the story here is if you get credit for doing something impossible admit the error.
