The more the merrier!

 

P.S.  Does anyone have one of those portable defibrillator thingies ??  Might want to bring it..

Have we decided on a time yet?

Any of you like Open Water Chicago on Facebook?  This is a quote from their page from yesterday, and he's talking about Lake Michigan.

"LAKE UPDATE: 45F water temp and 3-4 foot waves at Lighthouse Beach in Evanston. 1/4 mile swim sans wetsuit, no problems at all. Time to place it in storage until late fall!"

Nuts, I say.  I have a new wetsuit that is begging to be used, so I might join you as well.

I'm in for Bryant Lake on the 21st.  I have plans that evening, but am open during the day.  Also, I'm pretty well insulated even without a wetsuit, I'm not too worried about the cold.

I'll bring my camera and the GoPro... 

Awesome! This will be the first time I've met anybody from BT in real life! :D We're bonkers. Is Bryant Lake the one sort of off 494 & 62? Where do we meet? I'm gonna call & reserve my rental right now. Testing the wetsuit at the pool would probably be smarter, but not nearly as memorable. :D

Are we still on for Saturday? What time & where do we meet? 1 or 2pm works best for me. I know it would continue to warm up later, but I have to work at 5.

This will be fun.  Bryant lake is near 494 and 62. You can google it.  It's actually off of Shady Oak road and Rowland road (I think it's Rowland road).  You can take 62 to 212, then take the Shady Oak road exit and turn right.  Then take a left after the big church.  The park is on that road.

We can meet at the beach by the lower parking lot., I don't think it will be too crowded..

I'll check my calendar at home tonight, I know Baseball starts for my 7 year old, but I think that's in the morning..

Yeah, I don't imagine you will have a lot of competition for parking spots or beach access

Seriously?! You guys are the straight up, hardcore, HTFU early season champions right there!! 40's and raining all day, and you jump into a lake that was probably in the low 50s.

Un-freaking-believable. Totally awesome.
