5 weeks to go to the 20th Annual Chicago Masters' Big Shoulders Open Water 2.5k and 5k swim.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway of Swimming! But without the flags!

This swim is also part of the USMS H2Open Series and the Great Lakes GLOWS series, all compelling reasons to attend the church of the 5k butterfly.
For those unfamiliar with the venue, swimming can be done at Ohio Street Beach any day (short of bacterial counts high enough to close the beach), so a trial swim along the seawall in the days preceding the meet is easily done.
Lake Michigan temp has been much warmer this summer. We don't need woollen leggings and ski caps after a 6 a.m. swim.

I don't recall ever ripping on OW swimmers! In fact I have a great deal of respect for them! They can do something I don't like to do!
OWS is "icky" but this NY Plunge sounds like a lot of fun!
I will have no more doggie in 2 weeks.
No more doggie ? :(
Maybe I should bring Patch. She jumps in even when there's icebergs!
