I wonder if this made the water murky?
Tom,
I thought I would mention I had a friend (a slowtwitch favorite Linsey Pickell, now Linsey Corbin, she just got married) out swimming during the earthquake and she kept thinking how cloudy the water looked to her. She thought the water was really rough, but as is usual for her, she just kept plugging away thinking she needed to be prepared for the worse on race day. She was actually in the water from 6:45 until about 7:30 (earthquake was at 7:07) and didn't realize until getting back near the pier that anything weird had happened. Then she saw all the firetrucks and ambulances and found out there had been an earthquake when she was out there, I guess that explains the murky water, right? :) Pretty crazy stuff, just glad no one got hurt!
