It will be 90 F with 75% humidity, so you sweat all you want and it won't help!

As far as running goes we train in the heat and our times are awful. My wife is in Minnesota this week and she dropped a minute off all her times!!!

I did get a wetsuit this year and haven't worn it yet. When that water temp hits 79F it is coming out!!! I guess having bath water (85F) will spoil ya. One reason that water here is so warm is the lakes around here are SHALLOW so there is not a large volume of water to warm even if the surface area is large. And of course having a large surface area helps to heat it even more. The deepest I ever seen on my dept finder is 12ft with the norm being around 8ft.


I was just way up north at a fly in fishing camp up by the Saskatchewan / North West Territories border and went for a quick dip (key word here is quick!!) the water temp was 59F.... always fun when you dive in and come up gasping from the cold... lol!! Right now our water will be around 70F and we'll start to break out the wetuits pretty soon... of course i have a little insulation to which helps....
