Problem: wind usually blows towards the east side of Lake Michigan, which makes it generally warmer on the east side of the lake, but colder on the west side. Which makes gay guys frigid when they have to swim in the triathlon.

Lake County current temperature w/ historical going back 7 days
MSU Coastwatch current temperatures

Solution #1: wind blows backwards right before the triathlon.

Solution #2: it storms too much the day of the triathlon (forecast), which causes them to cancel the swimming section.
