My first official swim back at L1 was a real slap in the face – quite literally at times!
With sunrise coming at closer to 6:00am these days, we got to sleep in a bit before hightailing it out to L1. Seven of us made it out, and we were greeted with an angry lake sporting 4-6 foot waves and very vigorous chops. We also had to navigate several large patches of seaweed throughout the swim. Needless to say, this all presented quite a challenge for everyone!
The one saving grace, though, was the lake temperature which came in at a very pleasant 73F. But even that wasn’t enough to keep us in the water for any extended length of time!
