Subject: RE: When do you start swimming in lake Michigandoxie - 2012-06-13 10:12 AM nmladic - 2012-06-12 12:42 PM I'll be there tonight around 6 p.m., with a bright pink swim cap. Hope my sleeveless wetsuit is enough. Parks site says water is 65 degrees. See you there! I think I saw you yesterday - were you with another girl in a pink swimcap? I was w/my training group and was getting instructions from our coach so I didn't want to yell out "HEY YOOOOOOOOOOOOU!" That was me! We both wore our pink caps so we could find each other. This was my first lake swim of the year, and only my second lake michigan swim ever - I was surprised by how comfortable the water temp was. I got a little freaked out by the waves -- they were bigger than I remember -- but since I could touch down the entire time it was really no big deal. I was also surprised by how many people were swimming. There's really no way to tell us apart down there, is there? We need BT swim caps or something. I'm going to come back and swim down there Saturday or Sunday. I love my wetsuit! My name's Nicole and I'll wear my neon pink cap again when I'm there. Shout out next time! (PS- That other girl I was swimming with? The one without the wetsuit? She is a damn good swimmer. She swam a mile in the same time I swam a half-mile. I was wearing a wetsuit, and she was wearing just a swimsuit AND a drag suit. I have a LOT of work to do!) |
