Hey everyone just wanted to let you know of a up coming race. Sep 18th 2010. It is taking places at Diamond lake, Cassopolis, Michigan. There will be a 2.5k,5k and 10k race. There is a wet suite and non wet suite division. If you want more in for go to Precision Multisports.com. This is a race my coach Craig strong put on every year. Hey has trained other English channels swimmers and knows how to put on a fantasice rase. I have swam this lake for many hours as he is training me for the English Channel in the fall of 2011. It is spring feed lake with an Island in the center. Its my favorite palce to swim and I have swam alot of lakes. There will be a BQ fallowing very family type astmospire. Hope to see you all there!!!!:)
Which lakes? You're not in Waterton are you? That'd be a cool lake to swim in (assuming one could handle the temperature) to see if you'd get stopped swimming across the border!
I didn't get to Waterton this trip. I assume I'd be stopped if I tried any border crossing by that means, as the Kingdom Swim in Lake Memphremagog, VT, ppl tell us that border guards stop ppl swimming that lake, which lies in two countries. The Glacier webcam at Goat Haunt does show ppl frolicking in the lake. I am trying to get on all the webcams (except the ospreys' nest).
Lake McDonald was adequately warm for swimming, even by other people's standards! :D
I did a bit of swimming in Flathead Lake, at West Shore State Park (also lost my favorite pocketknife there, morose visage!). Finally, a sunny day after a week of rain, and I had to start home from Glacier. And stopped at a farm stand for sweet cherries, picked from orchards on the hillsides around the lake. Failed to make a correct turn and ended up in Sandpoint, Idaho, Lake Pend Oreille, a beautiful place and destination for bird watchers.
Glad to hear the Diamond Lake swim 11k went off well. See any of the fabled pixies? That could explain the mysteries of the course...
