Back in the open water…kinda [Iron Mike's Marathon Swims » Iron Mike's Marathon Swims --]

Tried my hand at a dip in the ocean today. Revere Beach was practically empty. The water was also very cold. 50F when I first walked in. Brrr…

I managed to get a bit deeper, waist-high, and the water was 48F. Way too cold. Two years ago I did 31 minutes in 51F at Winthrop. No way I could do that now. My seven months in Africa, and three open water swims there in 80+ water, sure didn’t help me keep my adaptation to cold(er) water!

Did a short little video here.
