Dave, Nick, Matt, and I met out at Montrose beach for a quick swim in the tepid 32F Lake Michigan water. I did a little over 1/2 mile, but it was slow going as my goggles would not stop leaking the entire time.
I was tempted to discard them (i.e. throw them far, far off into the distance), but they did provide significant protection for my face in freezing water. That being said, I cannot remember when I’ve been that annoyed during a swim!
Matt got in a bit later and had the opportunity to play around with some ice floes that had drifted in. Afterwards, Nick and I decided to test out the lake sans wetsuit. We didn’t stay in long!
Below is a short video of some of this morning’s highlights. I’ll post more stuff as the other fellows forward them to me. You should have been there!
holy cats steve… you screamed like a little girl when you hit the water.
