The water temperature at the swim site came in at a picture perfect 67F, so I opted to go with just my jammers and thermo shirt. Most of the 6:00am crew went wetsuitless as well. Ladder #1 also welcomed Aaron, a new Lake Monster. Unlike us mere mortals, Aaron is an Ironman veteran!
We had some slow roller waves that looked quite innocent out in the open water but were actually rather vigorous (especially at the beach). The return leg was a bit delayed due to having to escape the inbound waves. But once we all got past the 50 meter mark, it was a textbook swim.
Enough of my ramblings. Below are the shots. BTW, just to hammer it home – you all missed out on a great swim!
