Subject: Lake Swimming in June
Doing the Lake Brandt Tri in Greensboro in June, this will be my first open water swim. Planning on going to Jordan Lake the first couple weekends in June to get in some practice. How should the water temps be in the next few weeks, would a wetsuit be needed, or recommended at this time of year in NC. Thanks for any advice.

NEEDED no... I've never used one... even ocean swims in May...

But from what I've heard... I wouldn't mind using one, and if your race will most likely be wetsuit legal, go for it! It will make it much more enjoyable lol

I am going to guess neither lake will be wetsuit legal in June, or July for USAT.

I have not used a wetsuit since May. You wont want to use now because it would just cook you with the sun.

Yes, just completed the Lake Brandt Tri this past weekend. The water was very warm, not wet suit legal. With no open water experience I had no ideal what to expect. Thanks

I found a sprint, the Lake Las Vegas Triathlon, that was happening four months down the road and signed myself up; much to the surprise of friends and family.

I have Bontrager Race Lite wheels. I was looking into renting Zipp 303's or 404's for race day for Ironman Lake Placid. What time will I save?

I am running Boston in April and Ironman Lake Placid is in July. I have been told that it is ambitious to think about doing an IM so close to a marathon due to the recovery time. Any suggestions?

The first time I ventured into the deep murky green lake and could not see the bottom my muscles tensed and my imagined fears surfaced. What exactly lies beneath?

Both the Lake Triathlon Shoe CX210TRI and the Lake Road Shoe CX225 offer distinct advantages. I tested both shoes and found them to be extremely comfortable, good looking and durable.

A description of my experiences during my first triathlon. It was a great experience. I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been.

If you are calm while everyone around you is losing it, you probably don’t know what the hell is going on.
