I too felt cold watching, but just may have to give it a go next year. My only issue is that I don’t even want to jump into The Mon when its warm.

Awesome. I had some friends talked into doing it about…oh…20 years ago, but they backed out and I didn’t want to go alone. Now, I’m old and I’ll just enjoy watching everyone else freeze their asses off.

At 3:13 on the video, you can hear my voice. I’m saying, “108 12th Street” — as directions to our house to our running / swimming mates. We got a handful of newbies into the ‘swim’ and then had waffles at our house on the South Side.
Join us next year after the swim.
BTW, I posted a few pix on the blog at
