It's SUMMER Baby!

Next Swims:  
       Fri 4 pm, 
       Sat & Sun noon, 
       Sat 8am (me, probably)

Last Swim: Fri 6am
Water Temp:  53.3
Air Temp:   whateve... 70-something
Clarity: crystal freaking clear
Waves:  nope
Kru: Magic Mike, Showgirl, NorthShoreNancy, Eric, and Diablo on the early shift

That's what I said... FIFTY-THREE degrees.  Wahoo!

Well, anyway, 53.3 feels a whole lot warmer than yesterday's 46-ish.  Plus we all agreed that the water outside the rock piles seemed warmer than inside.  There were definitely warm patches along the swim north.... if you are liberal in what you consider "warm."

It was warm enough that I did a tiny skin swim inside the rock piles.  Woot!

I swam just short of the new (?) rock wall north of the open spot in the trees (north of birches).  Magic Mike went to mudslide, and I think Eric went about that far.  Not sure what NSN's mileage was.

On a, "why can't people pick up after themselves" note, the beach was littered with the after-effects of a bubble gun bacchanalia, and some grass skirts??  We picked up a bunch of it.

It is the start of the season. Just before your first race you pull out your wetsuit. You have not worn it in months. You put it on and it just plain feels tighter than you remember it feeling.
Did it shrink?
Is the rubber less flexible?
Do you need a new wetsuit?
NO, NO, and NO
…well, more like sort of, sort of, and yes unless you already own a T1 (just kidding).
The Tip: Soak your wetsuit a few days before the race. Soak it in a tub with 3 inches of water for about 5 minutes a few days before your race.
The Reason: Wetsuits are kind of like sponges. When they are exposed to continuous dry air they get hard, become brittle, have less stretch, and they tend to crack and tear. When they are moist they are supple and flexible. Believe it or not, your wetsuits stay moist for days, even weeks between uses, though appear dry… just like a sponge. Over time, as it gets really dry, it gets stiff and not-so-supple, thus feeling like it shrunk…like the way a sponge shrinks up. More wetsuits rip at the start of the season than any other time of the year. Good if you are me, bad if you are you. But your wetsuit will last longer if you wet it before you wear it!
