Ohio Street, July 15, 2017

Today Jody was not available so I went down with Joe. Conditions were much better, full sun water was 67 by shore and 68 at the curve. This is my first full (mile or more) lake swim this summer and I felt much better than expected. Maybe the 1500 helped my lake stroke. The water was flat with chop near the beach but morphed into 2 ft waves by the curve. The biggest problem is avoiding hitting other swimmers in this crowded spot. And the construction all along the shore path did not help the ambiance. The upgrading of this spot is somewhat ironic since a plan was floated this week to fill in this spot as well as Oak street and North Avenue beach to widen Lake Shore Drive. Joe assured me not to worry, even if this happens it won't be in my lifetime.
