Is the water ever going to be warm(ish)????? I will be in Bellingham this Friday...maybe I'll drive the course! Although I already am planning a century in Chelan that weekend....but it's always nice to know what else is going on!
A group from the Bellingham Tri Club went for a swim Saturday and it was described as "refreshing". With that knowledge, I think I'll give it a shot in the next day or two. It will either be needles in the face or tolerable. Maybe instead of driving the course, you should bring your wetsuit.
