Haha, that’s a bit chilly for me but the race looks awesome.
The Maas was 24c on Saturday and lovely to swim in, and in my wetsuit. Only a handful went without.
Can’t see that race appealing to a lot of Americans with a cool swim like that and I don’t think there was a current either.
Still tropical compared to Helvellyn though 
Deva 70.3 was 18 in 2019, it was lovely !
What he meant, was is he still married? 
IM St George was about 15C when I did it in May 2011 and it was feckin’ freezing 
18 is a perfect swim temp!
The old Wimbleball was usually 13-15 and pretty fresh.
Couple of Swashbucklers were around 11-12, shortened distance IIRC.
I don’t think Bala has ever been much over 15C
he is, both are high achievers in life also. Surprised how they fit everything in with 2 kids as well. I guess they cut out the crap many of us get sucked in to.
Celtman 2021 was 11C in the middle of the Loch. It was so cold it hurt.
Done Bala twice, cold !
