Subject: RE: Rev3 Quassy - Half Rev : Official ThreadJim, No, I don't know the temp of the Lake at Quassy, but I did swam in Crystal Lake last week--BRRRRRRRRR I'd have to guess that the temp of the water at 5:30am when we swam was in the mid50's. The lake is shallow, like Quassy, and is more north, but still pretty cold.
After the 1 mile swim, one of our guys got vagal, and almost passed out. My feet went numb early on and I did a bit of hyperventilating due to the cold and the constriction of the wetsuit, but to tell the truth it was actually tolerable. And the weather has been warmer for the last week, so that should help.
I am planning on swimming another OWS this week, so I'll let you know how Crystal Lake is tempwise later on in this thread...
Hope your training is going well. I am looking forward to seeing everyone for beers! |
