Asheville Masters and other local swimming friends took to the open waters at Lake Fontana recently and swam well despite the heat!
Larry H., Craik D., Lisa K. & Adrienne K. all swam the 5,000-meter (3.1 miles) open water event in 84F water temps! See race results HERE!
Reports say Larry and Lisa’s swims both went well, Lisa was psyched to complete that distance, a first! – congratulations, that’s awesome.
Craik (now living in Chattanooga if you did not know that) reports feeling the best he’s ever felt in an open water event – fantastic! And an equally inspiring beard to boot! 
Adrienne finessed her way to her longest butterfly event to date even as the arms were cramping. Both Lisa & Adrienne are prepping for a five-miler later this fall in St. Croix. Ask them for details!
