First Thaw Triathlon May 18th

I just signed up for the First Thaw Triathlon in Oconomowoc on Saturday, May 18th.  As far as I know, it's the first open water tri of the season.  The swim will be in Silver Lake. 

They'll have a Sprint and a Super Sprint.  The Super Sprint also has a "Swim What You Bring Division", where "you can swim with what ever you want (noodles, fins, mask, snorkels, gloves...).  Sorry, no boats, hydrofoils, or rafts".  Of course, such deviants are not eligible for age group or overall awards, but they will still get a finisher medal.

They're also saying they'll cancel the swim and change the event to a duathlon if the water is colder than 55 degrees

Swim, Pint, and a Round

Ready to anticipate warm open waters again? Come join Handyman Hank and I tonight,  at Shorewood H.S. swim pool (from 8:10-9:10 ), and afterwards get a pint at Draft and Vessel  while listening to the Irish jam. Perhaps to sing a round to waken the Lady from her cold slumber and welcome in a warmer spring.
