    Can anyone speak to the conditions of the swim? Water temp expected? Besides Monongy-Monogamy, what else might one find in the water? (Anent the recent thread on rattlesnakes, garter snakes, and snapping turtles, oh my!);) I believe water is expected to be in the upper 70's/low 80's. (That's about 27 degrees communist ) As far as the critters you mention? Rattlesnakes, Gartersnakes, and turtles all prefer a more pristine environment. (Although, it's soon enough after prom night an the peak of wedding season, there might be a garter or two floating about.) I've done an online search for the myth of "Monongy" but could find nothing from before the advent of this race. So, I guess that leaves you with monogomy. There are worse fates.(Or so I've heard.) I plan on coming in DFL in this race!
