Made three tries - down the ladder, from the beach, from another area on the rocks - and didn't get to the immersion plus stroking phase. Water is probably in mid-40s. It's a lovely warm day, with cold rain and snow predicted for the weekend, so I had to try. A Russian has been swimming all winter, wherever he is not iced out, so I know it's possible. For some. The real season doesn't start until first week in May, 50 deg water.

Any fair day the retired marathoners and friends will be at Point around noon, from here on.
A.D. is always good for shoe watching.
I'm thinking of doing a wetsuit-required swim this summer, so should get in some practice while it makes sense to.
Up North we have to do what we have to do. (I wonder if the Iditarod mushers are all in to Nome yet...)
