Memorial Weekend Plans

Next Swim: Saturday (5/28) 1pm
Location: Klode
Crew Currently Committed: The Patriach, Diablo, Capt'n

Arrg...Ahoy mates! 1pm has been decreed as the official swim time for Saturday. Let's make it so!!

Times for Sunday & Monday will be finalized at Saturday's swim. If you have a preference and can not make it please comment to this post.

...Hillside Hawk 5K run on Sunday is at 1pm in Brookfield so Sunday's time for me will need to be either at 10am or 3:30pm.

...Guardian Angel 5K is at 8:30am Monday just a few miles from Klode so a high noon start on Monday is a possibility.

It was great seeing crew mates Padre, Sarah, Gwen and Larry (...known in 2008 & 2009 as the "Iceman"...) at Thursday's aquathon out in Lannon. Compared to the air temp (50?) the water was down right toasty. (The Captino-meter registered 60.8 from the shore but the water was probably closer to the 64 temp reported by race officials.) For the record, everyone in the event wore wetsuits (...including me...) although had the Captino-meter not read 60 I was prepared to swim skin.....next time though, I'm in for skin!

Gwen posted the fastest swim and finished 2nd overall all. Larry posted the 2nd fastest swim and finished 4th overall....just 4 days after completing Ironman Texas! Padre claimed the Clydes title while Sarah cruised in and placed 3rd for the women.

Let's go 3:30 on Sunday, as the Lake is bound to have warmed up by then!
