Cold water, colder air


It was chilly this morning at Stiles but as I arrived at 7:20 AM half a dozen guys were just finishing their swim. A hardcore group indeed. It was 48 degrees as I dressed in my new wetsuit and the water was 62.8 degrees. I was quite comfortable as the new suit has arm coverage and I also got my aqua gloves. Ran 1:06 this morn then went to the USATF NE office to do some research (old Stu's 30Km results), then back in the water for another half-hour. A couple of fisherman asked me how I was touching bottom in the middle of the pond. They laughed when I told them I was running but not touching bottom.
