G'day Mates....was the greeting The Patriarch and I received as we arrived on the Klode scene this morning. New comer Peter travelled all the way from Australia to participate in the Klode experience. (...actually, Peter has travelled here to compete in Ironman Wisconsin which is now just a little more than 2 weeks away.) New comer Tom also joined in on this morning's swim with Lindsay and Robin.
The sky was grey but the winds were calm. There were a few waves rolling on shore but no where near as frequent or as sizable as yesterday....but still enough to occasionally interrupt your swim stroke if you began to get lazy. The water was clear on shore...the weeds apparently have been reclaimed by the lake with the recent waves. Offshore the water clarity was good...although a bit cloudy. Visibility ranged from 5-8 feet in spots.
The water remained warm enough to get by without a wetsuit but was perhaps a tad bit cooler than yesterday....although its certainly conceivable that this may be solely the result of the grey skies and not the seasonal trend that I would prefer not to think about.
As the Patriarch was preparing for his momentous 2.4 mile swim in Lake Monona tomorrow his out-back journey this morning took him to the garage and back. For the rest of us, our out-back adventure took us up to the 'rockpile'.
UPCOMING PLANS:
Saturday: 3pm Klode (1pm remains a possibility)
