Subject: RE: Walden Pond water temperatureI've been swimming there twice or three times a week the last couple weeks. Usually an evening or morning workout on Thursday, a morning on Saturday, then a recovery swim on Monday and/or Friday. Honestly, it's all I can do to drag myself to the pool on Tuesday for non-wet-suit sets (good for form, I keep telling myself) - even though the pool is outside now that the bubble is down. Went last night and tried without the wetsuit. Had numb toes, a numb heel and a few numb fingers (and lots of blue!) by the time I got out. On a warm day, probably not a problem, but on a cool evening, the wet-suit is a good idea even from a safety standpoint (IMO, but that's me). I'm game for some Walden swims - also starting next week (going to Ohio this weekend). Matt |
