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?
Get some ear plugs for the cold water. I use Mack's Pillow Soft silicone earplugs. These along with the silicon cap will help one be more cold tolerant.
If you want a more readable version... I broke it out by distance, gender, age group, etc here: www.robaquatics.com/.../2009-big-shoulders-psyche-sheets.html
Nice work Rob, thanks for doing that.
Now if you could find some way of moving Kirk out of my age group (so I can move up a place)...
No problem guys! I figured it was time I used my Excel skills for good instead of evil :)
Mattson - maybe if you're really lucky the water will get cold enough to inspire some last minute switches to the wetsuit list
mb beside the point but I'm still confused.. are those rubberised suits ppl were wearing at Nats in the wetsuit division or the normal division?
Normal division.
Rob, thank you for taking the time to put together the psyche sheets! I hope to have the chance to meet you this weekend - see you on Ohio Street Beach!
