I will be joined by 9 heavy hitters for this 2010 NYCSWIM finale.
they are predicting a little weather for saturday in these parts so the course direction has been changed and the start time will now be 4:45 AM (thats right folks.... darkness, wind and waves! what could be a better way to wrap up the season)

Daniel - yeah dude, it was great to run into you pre-swim... and thanks for saying hi as you speeded past me in the water!
I spend so much time in colder places that the water temps didn't really phase me on this one... it was nice for me to not have to worry about it on such a long swim. I got more sensitive to the flux in temperatures later in the day, but I never got cold. Now if I could just trade some of that cold tolerance for speed...
