I was really hopping to join the Leamington bike and run trial run, but I think I should focus in on getting another OWS in this week. 

So, I was thinking that I will be out at Cedar Beach again at 7:00 pm on Friday (June 12th).    Let me know if anyone else would like to join me.

If you make it Thursday, I would join you. I was actually planning on taking the family out there to watch me swim on Thursday night anyway! But I will definitely be in Leamington on Friday night.

Right below it says this
•Wetsuits are NOT allowed for the Open Water Swim (unless swimming as an exhibition swimmer).

What do they mean by this?

They have 2 events that are a 1.5km and a 3km open water swim. Those particpating in these events only, are not allowed to wear wetsuits. If a wetsuit is worn they do not get an official time.

Thanks for clarifying

Yes, you will need a wetsuit for Leamington - still very cold and it will help you from sinking!  LOL

Wetsuits are allowed for all open water triathlons up to a maximum water temperature, which is 78F I believe. I have never seen a triathlon not allow wetsuits, although I suspect that Steelhead bent the rules a little one year. No race director wants to stick novice swimmers in open water without the safety of wetsuits.

I was holding off on committing to the GTG in Leamington on Friday as I injured my knee a little last weekend and I have been resting it. Depending on how it feels tonight I might just do a swim at Cedar Beach.

Dave, I assume you're talking about swimming tomorrow night at Cedar Beach and not tonight?Just because I'm planning on a pool swim now due to the weather. Hope your knee feels better!

Yes, I'll either be swimming at Cedar Beach Friday or joining you guys in Leamington depending on my knee. It's not bad, just strained a little.
