Subject: RE: ESCKTC OWS/RUN/DRINK Brickapalooza III *2009*Ugh! So sorry Heather! I won't be out there either. I think the holiday has everyone doing other things. I am pretty sure I will be out there next week!! It really IS too hot for wetsuits, but if you MUST swim in it just for some practice, then you have no choice. Maybe you can do a short swim, then take it off, and go back for more. FYI.....if you are escared like me......some of us swim with pull buoys because it's too hot for the wetsuit, but the pull buoy gives you just enough flotation to simulate how a wetsuit helps you float, but also gives you the confidence to know you won't drown as long as you keep that sucker tucked between your thighs!!! Another thought might be to drive up to Flag to do a little swimming up there. Lake Mary is COLD! That + the elevation is quite the shock on race day, so it might be worth the drive to know what it will be like come race day. |
