Master  2099   Madison, WI |  Subject: RE: Oshkosh Sprint/OlyOshkosh couldn't be any less intimidating water-wise. I was highly annoyed at the dude walking around the far buoy for the Oly swim. Yes, that's right - walking around it - cause even that far out it's 5 feet deep. That being said, there was a surprising lack of life guards this year. |

Master 2099 Madison, WI | Subject: RE: Oshkosh Sprint/Oly runner - 2008-08-13 10:32 PM Not trying to be a jerk about this b/c any open water is scary to me, but I'm just making a point that unless you were actually in the situation, you really have no idea what it was like. Enough to scare a first-timer out of tris....I'm thankful this wasn't my first one. If you were responding to my comment, I think you misread my intentions. I was agreeing that Winneconne is/was easy and suggesting it as a good swim for a first-timer. I would definitely NOT want to do any part of Lake Michigan (bay or not) for a first time tri. |

Yeah, I did misunderstand it....thought you were saying Oshkosh just as intimidating as the bay. Not that it's a big deal in the first place, but I did misinterpret what you wrote. I did my first tri and first OWS ever last year, the SOR 70.3, in Lake Michigan, with rough waters. It was daunting and very tough. But, I wouldn't recommend many first timers to do something like that. I'm just a stubborn Donkey. |
