Evanston, August 4

This was what the Lake is supposed to be like at this time of year, 74, slight smooth swells, bright sun. The water was a little cloudy and the air was humid so it was hard to keep goggles from fogging. Otherwise perfect. I finally could leave my thermal cap and shirt in the car. But it is hard to motivate one to swim fast under these conditions. So Jody and I swam long rather than fast. We did our usual wall to wall and then another half mile after that.
