Hey guys,

Anyone try swimming in any of the Calgary lakes in April? Know what the temp might be?

No. Late May is usually pretty cold. I don't see the value of freezing you butt off in April. With swimming Olympic trials in 51 days Talisman will be set up long course a fair bit. Just swim in the 50m pool once a week.

I am running Boston in April and Ironman Lake Placid is in July. I have been told that it is ambitious to think about doing an IM so close to a marathon due to the recovery time. Any suggestions?

Both the Lake Triathlon Shoe CX210TRI and the Lake Road Shoe CX225 offer distinct advantages. I tested both shoes and found them to be extremely comfortable, good looking and durable.

Stroke after stroke, my pace was pulling me out into the middle of the lake quickly. The cover seemed to be getting thicker. But still in the distance, the little boathouse was my lighthouse.
