Elite  3779      Ontario |  Subject: Anyone swim in Kelso yet?Race is this weekend and I noticed the openwater group that swims out there cancelled their last 2 swims - including yesterday - because the water was too cold. I haven't tried yet, but was hoping to maybe get out and swim before race day this week. |

Hi Neil - If it is like the last 2 years - be prepared for a cold one Raced Woodstock yesterday and it was 16c close to shore - they measured it as 14c further down the course You could actually feel the temperature difference as you left the shore I wore a neoprene cap under the bathing cap and it helped Some people tried Gulliver Lake last week and this weekend and they also cancelled it Good luck Jean |

Guess I'm just going to have to double up on swim caps. Might try and get in a swim on Saturday when they have packet pick up. |

Indeed, I was a little worried when the Kelso Open Water Swim Club had reported it was only 9 C/41 F last week!

Yikes, that's cold. I really need to try and swim on Saturday because I have a new wetsuit, but if I don't get out then I'm going to race in the old one. |

Water was perfect - unfortunately took my first ever DNF after the bike, but I was sick going into this so I knew this might happen. Now, how does one (me) go from a 13:xx swim to a 10:xx swim (after swimming for 6 years)... |
