thought I might as well get the ball rolling - looks like we might have a nice day - hope the wind stays calm for a nice flat lake swim. Z

Z- If the lake is anything like it was for this morning’s swim, race day will be great!! The water was flat and the temperature was perfect. Thought I would include the satellite link for water temp. http://www.coastwatch.msu.edu/michigan/m52.html See you in a few days! -CAB
Here’s hoping that Lake Michigan is more ‘Great Lakeish’ come race day. 
As long as the waves and wind are blowing the way I’m swimming!
It’s uncanny how in past years it has really been flat and picture postcard perfect. The dune area just above the swim start is very nice. I was laying up there last year resting before the swim start as the sun came up. That was nice.
Tom, do you know if we are starting on the beach or starting in the water?
We have a TON of people from this side of the state doing the race. This place will be empty that weekend.
Tom - Beach start this year - no matter which was we swim! See you next weekend! Z
