Tour
of 4 Lakes
Swim, run, swim, run, swim,
run, . . .
Madison,
for those who don't know, sits between 2 of a 4 link
chain of lakes. (see map below)
Participants will run between the lakes and will be
responsible for carrying with them the comfort items
they choose, i.e. running shoes, goggles, wetsuit, eye
glasses, food, etc.
We
have been trying to do this workout for 4 years, but
the lake conditions have not been acceptable until last
year. You see, with respect to these lakes there is
about a 2-3 week window in May and June in which the
following occur simultaneously:
- water is warm enough to swim in, but yet
- water is cool enough that weeds/algae have not overtaken
it.
We
have chosen Sunday, June 10th.
We will start at 7am in the southernmost lake, at Lake
Kegonsa Park. We will finish at the Memorial Union Terrace.
It works out to be about 4 miles of swimming and 15
miles of running. Details
here.

Pretty
much anyone is welcome to join us but you should be
a very competent swimmer to do so. And you should be
comfortable swimming after running significant
distances. We will not be responsible for your well
being during this workout. See disclaimer below.
