I am so enjoying following your blog from the warmth of my living room! I will gather my courage and try to join you at Ladder 1 some time around mid May. Seriously, I think you’re crazy (in a good way), but this guy in Picture #5 is even crazier. Maybe he’ll inspire you to ditch the wetsuits.

Oh my…I’m not even going to attempt to outdo that!
BTW, in my opinion early to mid-May is the best time out at the swim site. That’s typically when the spring turnover arrives and the water finally gets above 50F. That’s when the “great awakening” from winter really seems to set in!
P.S. I think we’ve found a photo for this weeks Fitness Friday contest. Thanks for the tip!
You’re welcome. Another pic that may be of use is here, not quite as awesome due to covered butt cheeks but still relevant. Picture 11.
