But if you use Tanyas reasoning I should be on top. I two of all of you put together.

All this talk about being on top.  I preffer the bottom.  So I am volunteering for being the anchor.

I had a thought. (I know).  Wondering if we shouldn't go up to Canyon lake this Thursday for OWS so we can wear our wetsuits. (Canyon lake's water is much cooler than Saguaros).   Nathans may or may not be wet suit legal, but just in case it is, it would be nice to get a swim under my belt in the WS since it has been so long.  What does everyone think?  Carpooling is greatly encouraged, and it takes probably 10 min longer to get out there.

It was wetsuit legeal last year, but I think it was a race day decision. It was warm enough go without.

Oh I am SURE! I would be going without for a sprint - is Canyon still warm enough for without? I would like to practice without. Chile would know. I'll ask him.

Looks like Canyon is having the same issue as BJC. From Chile's log:

too warm in the afternoon to wear the wetsuit.


HMMM...

Poopers. 

Yeah, they called it the morning of last year.  Since I am doing the Oly, and I have water freakout issues, I will be wearing it if they allow it. If not I will just have to suck it up and tough it out and hope I don't drown!!!

Just hold on to one of the floating fish if you have problems.

I guess what I should do is just bang out a 1500 meter OWS with no stops and NO woobie. Hate having to do that!

I will keep an eye on you for the drowning thing. It seems cooler this summer than last (maybe I am wrong) so IF it was wetsuit legal last year I bet it will be this year...maybe?

I am not going to let myself get freaked out about it either way. If we get to wear them...great! If not...I CAN do it.  I just have to attack it with that attitude!

We paddled Canyon yesterday.  A little cooler than BJC but not noticeably.  Still comfortably warm for us paddlers.  And, I'm pretty sure I'll make it this week, so my yak will there too.  Not sure of distance, but do you all usually swim in the area that is motor-restricted?  That sure makes it nice - no waves and no motors.

If it's not going to be considerably cooler in the afternoon, I am not sure it is worth the trip.  Sandy I will be interested in having you near by when I do my woobieless-swim!!!!

R we swimming Thursday at BJC?

 

They allowed people to wear their wetsuits at the SnD on Saturday, it was a USAT event and the water was 83 degrees. I'm not sure what that means for Nathan's. I was going to rent a wet suit for the sprint but I think I'm going to go without it now.

All I need to know is where the OWS is becase I need the time in the OW. But I will go to either lake. Canyon is closer for me.

I would prefer to just go to BJC since Canyon will not be any cooler.

So is it BJC then?  Works for me.  I'll keep an eye on you Tanya and won't let you go down for the 3rd time! Afterwards I THINK I will do the whole hill - it will take me forever so there'd better be ONE COLD BEER left when I finally drag in!! LOL!

BJC it is then! Same time, same place, same station. Be there or be uncool!

Will IMAZ be wetsuit elgible?  I have spent most of this year without the pullbouy and suit - but my form still sucks and any aid to flotation is appreciated!  I am out for OWS this week as I am finally grabbing the sack and doing a drop in at a Masters swim so I can be ridiculed and humiliated by a different crowd of on-lookers.  However, I should be out the following week and BJC is always easier for me!
