The threat of hypothermia is real. Please be prepared: Bring blankets, towels, warm clothes, and a warm beverage or soup. I am hoping the water temperature will be between 55 and 65 degrees. We are having a big snow year, which means high volume snow melt, this will not only affect lake volume, it will likely affect lake temperature. We will be prepared to deal with what Mother Nature gives to us. I strongly suggest acclimization prior to the event with 1 to 3 trips to the lake prior. I will be doing these, and will post up on FB, and Zoefitness FB page to days and times that I will be at the Lake. Your safety is your responsibility. We must be realistic we live in New Mexico, it could be 70 degrees, there could be a snow storm.
