Anyone know the temp of Monona right now?  Do you think that IMWI will not allow wetsuits this year?  Thanks!

Lake Temp drops fast once you hit September.

No idea on current temp, last year I swam in bath water during the August Open Water race and three weeks later it was chilly.

I was out on Monona last night on a boat. Our fish locator was at 81 degrees all across the lake.

I'm sure by race day you'll be wanting a thicker suit! Temps have been cooler for a while and don't show signs of going up. But I would be prepped for going sans the suit. I've done a few swims out there w/o one and it was worth it. I'm not racing IMWI, but I train there. Be ready for some chop, too. About 25% of the time I'm out there, there's some chop that might frighten some ill-trained athletes.

Or untrained ones.  That blue-green algae is nasty schitt, too.  *throwing up sounds*

Perfect conditions, but hope the wind dies down a little. Tomorrow will be even better! Good luck!
