Lake Michigan gave us a 64F lake temp – much more temperate than the 59F air temp – and some chops and building swells at 5:20am. There was some weather moving in from the west, but we managed to get in a swim while we still had the morning sunshine. I went with just my jammers and swim cap and was perfectly comfortable during the 1/2 mile swim. Looks like we’re going to get an early summer!
