I'm hoping the warm weather this week will help thaw out the lake by Fri. That and it being my last chance for an open water swim before Firmman, I am
planning to head up there after work on Fri. Any takers??

Yeah Mike, I was trying to pre-heat to get ready for Friday
When I finally got a lane, it was about 90 degrees in the pool, I didn't stop sweating for a couple hours. By the way, as much as we appreciate your witticisms re: West Hill Lake, we've yet to see you in it! (yeah, yeah I know you live 400 miles away) |

 Not sure what you needed the hot tub for. The TCC pool WAS a hot tub today

Karen-I needed to sit on the hot tub because the members of Mike's triathlon swimming group were hogging all the lanes of the pool

Jim...Jim....Jim!!!!
Now lets be clear, The Mike you refer to is Mike K. (coach) and we only had 2 lanes for 7 of us. The other 2 lanes were being hogged by 3 swimmers who don't circle. As for water temp. I think it was like 100 degrees, and I was feeling the effects for hours after. I complained about it to Jeff and he said he would check into it. I'm not expecting much as this seems to happen after every weekend that they have the kids swim lessons. Now about West Hill.....I've been there twice in the last 2 years. Both times for the Litchfield Hills race. It is a beautiful lake, but the traffic and hassle getting there for me just doesn't add up. I'd love to join you guys in an open water swim. Just let me know when you find a place a little closer.

I will try not to think too hard on exactly what those children are doing in the pool to make the water so warm.

Come Friday you'll be wishing those kids were in Westhill Lake instead of the pool.
I'll get there on Friday if I can, but I gots no neoprene cap with flowers  .

Mike-actually, I know that your group wasn't hogging the whole pool

Well guys, in my infinite lack of wisdom, I forgot that my daughter's dance recital starts at 7pm today. Therefore either I swim earlier today or I
don't swim today. Since I doubt anyone could get up there sooner, looks like the latter of the 2. Was nice of me to initiate this hypothermic excursion
for the rest of you though, was it not?

I will be there as well, if I can get ouf of my office before 5. Otherwise, I will likely be the one standing on the shore with the beer when you guys finish.
