Why does a guy with no hair need a swimming cap?
I have had some of the best emails and comments lately. But this one was way below the belt....just kidding.
In fact, this one deserves a multiple choice question. Is it:
A. It just plain looks cool
B. The color "Bald" does not go with my wetsuit
C. It keeps the head warm
D. All of the above
I think you know the answer is "D", all of the above. But, here is how I came to own a swimming cap. I went to one of the Dip & Dash events two weeks ago and out of maybe 125 participants, only one did not have a swimming cap. I have to admit two things about this guy; he was bald and he won the 750M / 5k event. He was also one of only two people who did not wear a wetsuit.
That night, my wife and I drove over to the damn at the far end of the lake. While we were there, we noticed the white board that has a fishing report. It showed the temperature of the water at 60 degrees. So, even though the answer is "D", the reason was "C". I'm a wimp for cold water, but 60 degrees!?!
And oh, by the way, my wife picked out my swimming cap.
