DL tri this weekend?

Hello!  I am pretty new here too but am planning on Devil's Lake triathlon.  I know a few others are doing it as well.  You can check to see who has it in their planned races at http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/directory/link-detail.asp?linkid=4215 .  It will tell you who is registered.  I am still a little to heavy to fit into my old wetsuit so won't have one but I don't know how cold the water is this year.  I did hear it is pretty high.  I also heard they changed the bike course because of road conditions.

I'm signed up. It's looking to be another cold day. I really have to stop signing up for this one, as the weather is always nasty.

Year before last, the water was so cold even the elites walked the first 1/3 - 1/2 the swim. It was too cold to put your face in. Last year the water wasn't that bad, but the air was 33 degrees. I expect this year to be somewhere in between. The nights have been cold already, so I doubt the water will be super warm, but they're predicting lows in the 40's for this weekend, so the air will be a little warmer.

I've come close to meeting BTers and assorted Donkai at High Cliff and IM 08 (cheering them on), but so far no dice. (I'm not up to speed on Donkai/Donkey Nation yet).  Don't know if there should be a common meeting spot but that might be worthwhile.

I will be heading up Sunday morning from Middleton with a few friends and we are thinking of hiking or kayaking sometime after the race. 

The weather looks great!  Wind will only be a problem in the Gall Rd area.  I'm bringing the wetsuit.  Might have to look out for the weeds as they seem to be right through the area where we parallel swim to the shore.

I'm more than halfway decided to do this finally.

I saw last night that I couldn't signup race day. Bummed.

However, how did you folks that participated do?

Great job, Donkey Deanna!!
