Baby, it's cold outside

12:17 PM Thu, Jul 21, 2005 |

I swam from Madrona to the 520 bridge and back this week with a group of masters class swimmers. It took about an hour-and-a-half. It was fun, but the question everybody asked me was, "Isn't it cold out there?" No, not really.

What is more difficult than dealing with the water temperature is dealing with the milfoil...

Unlike doing laps in a pool, there are no stripes on the bottom, and unlike a nice clean lap pool, the lake is a murky greenish black this time of year, sprouting great long strands of weeds that create a sort of Jaws-like atmosphere.

I know we have closed a few Lake Washington beaches this summer because there was a high level of poop. But what about cleaning up milfoil? Will there ever be a way?

Baby, it's dark down there. But it's not really cold!

Jean,
I have so much respect for you! I can never wait for your "Health Link" reports during the King 5 new cast. I learn so much from you and appreciate you bringing to our attention (especially women) important health related issues that may not otherwise be discussed by our own doctors.
Great job on the swim! Very impressive. I wish you would start some sort of work out or walking club where we could meet with you once a month at some Western Washington park and learn different "work out" routines. Just a thought.
