Ohio Street, July 8, 2017

I sat this one out since I was going to race a 1500 in a pool the next day. Jody was also in that race but she opted to do a lake swim anyway. As it turned out she did very well in the 1500 and I did not so maybe a poor decision on my part. Here is her report

Joe and I met on Ontario - he pulled up just as I put my parking ticket on my dashboard. It was chilly and very breezy as we walked towards the lake. There were waves breaking over the breakwater (hmmm...) and it was very choppy inside the harbor area - waves from the northeast echoing back out after hitting the wall. I wished we had had your thermometer! the water was a perfect temperature - but very rough to swim in. We made it to the buoy by the curve, and there we encountered swells of 2-4 ft. Coming back in we made much better time, but we were both pretty wiped out. I am hoping the wave action will be easier tomorrow morning!
