Lake Spivey Water Temperature

Susan and I took the boat our for a little ride this afternoon.  The weather was awesome for a Saturday in mid-January.  At one point during the day the temperature on my car dashboard read 81-degrees.  The actual temperature was probably closer to 75-degrees.  Anyway, it was way too warm for January.  I decided to check the lake water temperature when we were out.  I was especially interested in the temperature of the lake because I need to start swimming soon for the Try Charleston 70.3 on April 20th.

Lake Spivey water temperature at 5PM on Saturday, January 12th, 2013

 As you can see, 53-degrees is way to freakin' cold to swim in the lake even with a full wetsuit.

Thanks for reading.
