Ran into Greg Welch taking his paddleboard in as I went down to the race site for a swim. "Welchy" was a world champion at all distances before health issues sidelined him. It's great to see him, as he always keeps that impish grin with him.
I took a practice swim with the crowd in the lake. 63 degrees made for a bit of a shock getting in, and the chop from the winds made a rough swim to unsettle a few. One never is sure what to expect race day, so it was good to get in and experience some tough conditions. I'll be ready race day, and my wetsuit felt great!
