Elite 4108 Calgary,AB,Canada | Subject: RE: Lake Summerside Triathlon : Official Thread tbwilliams - 2010-06-01 10:51 AMThis is my first time doing this race. Any suggestions or advise? Thanks. I did it last year. Based on the weather we are having...that water is going to be F'n cold. Get a neoprene cap. The water last year was only 12or so degrees. Slowly get used to it. If you haven't swam OWS go the day before. i think they let you in on Satyurday to practice. I heard the bike is a different route as well. Which is good. Last year their was a ton of construction in the area. Good luck!! Edited by TrevorC 2010-06-01 1:04 PM |

| New user 2 Edmonton, Alberta | Subject: RE: Lake Summerside Triathlon : Official Thread This is my first race too. I am doing the sprint also and hoping to go for the Olympic next year, I have a wetsuit (which I bought online & after the snow last week I am glad it got that) but does anyone know where to get a neoprene cap in the city? The road race is from what I can see going down 101st past the Scottish society towards RR 510 just west of Beaumont. I took a spin out there last night and although the road is pretty rough in places with a few pot holes that could cause some punctures it is fairly flat. If anyone has any good advise, especially on the transition piece of the race, that would be great! Simon |

Veteran 274 outskirts of town | Subject: RE: Lake Summerside Triathlon : Official Thread This will be my second year at this race. Fun sprint - fast track! Yes, the swim is bone chilling!! Do get yourself a neoprene cap! I'm considering wearing socks during my bike to try and warm my feet up. Most people said they didn't feel them towards the end of the run - seriously! Nice post race stuff too. Should be a great day as it's supposed to be warmer this year! Good luck all and hope to see some of you on the beach! |
