Ohio Street Big Shoulders, September 9

A nice day this year, full sun, not too hot with an easterly breeze. Conditions were somewhat worse than September 2, with the wind from a different direction. The race directors announced a temperature of 64 so that swimmers could do a last minute switch to wetsuits. I did not, of course, take the offer. In fact the water temperature was between 66 and 67 depending on where on the course you were. Both turns had waves but otherwise it was just chop. Overall, one of the nicer Big Shoulders swims.
