Its been a cold spring, anyone else starting to wonder just how cold the swim is going to be?  They said they would post temp. numbers on May 9th.

Race director said this morning that since it is a shallow lake, it can warm up a lot in a couple days.  There's an OWS there on Wednesday May 11 at 6:30, FYI.

They also changed the start time from 8:00 to 9:00 to allow the sun the warm it up a wee bit more (the air, not the water).  This is a great venue!

Fortunately / unfortunately, I have another commitment and will have to wait for the June event. I bet the water will be cold.  All I have is an old scuba wetsuit, with limited arm mobility, but I would probably give it a try if the weather from the past couple of weeks persists.

It'll just be my luck and it will be 85ish on race day.  We haven't had more than a couple days over 70 so far this year.  Definately not prepared for hot weather.

Not that you would want to try to swim in (there's dive shop near campus).  You're best bet is either T3 Multisport on north side of Indy (not positive they carry wetsuits) or Runner's Forum in Carmel (I am sure they carry and rent wetsuits).

I'm planning on trying out the water at the OWS Wednesday and deciding then if man enough to actually race Saturday! I bought a wet suit last year, I guess this is why I bought it...

Good Luck to everyone on Saturday.  I'm upset that I'll miss the race due to other commitments.

Well, they updated on May 8th with a 58 degree reading and May 9th with a 60 degree reading, at least we are going in the right direction.

Wish I could make it but getting off work on Saturdays takes an act of God.  Are there many Sunday races in the Indy area?

Not sure how warm it was down there today but it was cooking in NWI, 95 degrees.  What a weird spring.

Looks like we are getting a good warm up of the lake though, thats 5 degrees in three days.
