Darien sport shop triathlon

Welcome to FF county.  I am surprised they would even allow streets to be shut down for a tri.  (Watch out for 4' 11" inch 95 pound women driving tanks (I mean SUVs) while taking their kids, nanny, life coach, etc. to the gym, while talking on a cell phone, doing her nails and drinking a mocachino and not signaling.)  Oh and YES its expensive, but the permit for the race is probably a fortune 

I am in Norwalk, the next town up the coast, i can tell you as of right now the Water is just below bath temp, i swim regularly with no wetsuit. That being said, in three weeks the temp could drop 10 degrees, maybe more as the weather here is supposed to cool off for the next week or so. I would say comfortably cool in September. I am going to see how i feel this weekend, i f i don't hurt too bad from the sprint i did yesterday, i may sign up for it, i also have one on the 21st. Darien is like 10 mins from my house, so it is a short drive.

why are you traveling from MD, where you have nice water, to Long Island Sound to swim?  I am a life long New Haven area  resident and love CT, but LIS is gross and the closer you get to NYC, the grosser it gets.  Enjoy the race but watch out for garbage, nasty sea weed, oil, medical waste and steriodal jellies.  I'll wave [sorry for the pun] to you all from Martha's Vineyard

Seriously, Darien is a beautiful town.  Check out Greenwich while your there as it is a kick (there are 2 bentley dealerships on the same street) with some grrat resturants and people watching.  Or come up to New Haven and have the best pizza in the world at Sally's.  Have a great time in CT, good luck in teh race.
