Yes, it can be a lot worse than Eagleman. At least in Cambridge you get a good stiff breeze, a bike course free of traffic and relatively clean water.
DC in August is the pits. And you couldn't pay me enough to swim in the Potomac River just downstream of a large metro area. After a rain storm (which happens just about every afternoon in August). After the sewers have overflowed (because the DC system is outdated and over capacity). Yuck.
But that's just me. Won't swim in the Hudson around Manhattan either.
No coasting in running and no crying in baseball
