Subject: RE: Finger Lakes Triathlon (Olympic Distance) : Official ThreadI went for a swim this morning. It was f'n cold. I'd guess low 60s. I did stay fairly close to the shore. And its materially warmer towards the middle of the lake. But expect it to be a shock to the system when you first get in. My feet went numb quickly. They did not warm up during breakfast afterwards. Nor on the 30 minute drive to the gym near work. It wasnt until a good 5-10 minutes in the very hot shower did my feet feel normal again. But look on the bright side. At least we'll have an ice-bath waiting for us at the finish! |
