New user 1 |  Subject: Banff Subaru International Sept. 11Well it's 3 days before this debut race in Banff any thoughts on if they might cancel the swim due to the plummeting temperature? Last I heard it was 11 degrees celsius! I swam in 14 degree water up in Edmonton in June and that was REALLY cold, I can't imagine 11 degree water.... |

New user 7 Calgary | Subject: RE: Banff Subaru International Sept. 11 I'm a bit worried about the water especially since the air temperature isn't going to be great either. Is there a chance it would be cancelled? I noticed they moved the start time out an hour.... not sure that will make much of a difference. Its only my second Olympic race and the weather is taking some of the fun out of it! |

My booties didn't repel water like I thought they would and no shell (since I wasn't expecting actual rain). Felt sorry for the pros in their little singlets. |
