La Jolla Rough Water - 9/11

Start tracking the water temperatures here -- www.surf-forecast.com/.../seatemp -- and get excited for America's premier rough water swim, http://www.ljrws.com/. This is an all ages blast of an event. Who's going? Who's doing the Gatorman? Who's doing the Daily Double? I'll be there and wimping out with the mile only; this will be my 6th year doing the mile. I attempted the daily double in both 2008 and 2010 and will try that again in 2012. Tips for maximum enjoyment: Spend $100 to become a century sponsor for the event (supports the kids event) and get front row seats and a super-sweet parking pass. Arrive on Saturday so you can check in and get a practice swim in. Hoping for warmer conditions this year than last.

    I am doing the Gatorman this weekend. Does anybody know whats the best grease to use? Thanks. For something of that distance I would use simple vaseline on the places where skin rubs together: under the arms, around the neck & between the thighs. However, no mater what you use, this is definitely what you should use to get it off: Gator Grease
