Subject: A long swim in Lake Zurich
Hello,

I am doing my first Olympic distance triathlon this year in Lake Zurich. I found there was a swimming race on June 4th in Lake Zurich. I would like to do that to test my swim. I wonder if anyone has done this before? Any thoughts on it? I kind of concerned if it will be too cold.

I did not even know they had a swim race at all in Lake Zurich and I lived there for 20 years but moved away 4 years ago. Sounds like its new this year.

I am debating the Lake Zurich tri. Depending on my swim.
What is the swimming race on June 4th? Do you have a link or the name? I think it would be a great idea to test that lake before the race.

Lake in the Hills starts OW practice swims next Wednesday night.  Not the same body of water but most look very similar when your face is pointing down into it.
