Subject: FCA Endurance open water swims
Fellowship of Christian Athletes Endurance (FCA E) ministry's open water swim Sunday at 2pm.
(An optional run afterwards)

Water temps are currently 65.
Wetsuits are probably required.

There are 3 options:
A .66 mile swim in 4 ft to 5 ft deep water.
Then it's a 1.25 mile option, and I will be swimming a 2.5 mile option (my estimated swim time will be about 90 minutes, easy pace)
It's all free!!
At the Rez. Madison Landing. (by Reservoir Point and Cock of the Walk Restaurants)

Run following: I will be doing a 50 minute jog at a low effort level.

**If anyone wants to kayak for swimmer support, let me know, I'll bring a kayak.

Bring a friend and be encouraged!!! :-)
