Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Threaddaviddclough - 2010-02-04 10:11 AM I'm in. It will be my second time at Racine. Missed last year due to a little bike accident. I am looking forward to getting back.
Hi numbers! Hi to you Mr. A little bike accident...that's putting it lightly...no more of those, ok? ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/smile.gif) For those of you unfamiliar with this race, let me tell you one thing from having done the sprint the last 3 years... THE WATER IS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY COLD!!! 2 years ago, it was 56 and last year, it dropped to 53. It feels like glass, but surprisingly, the pain does go away eventually after a few strokes. And I am a huge wuss in the water, so trust me, if I can get through it, I'm sure you all will be fine. I am REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping that the winds shift this year (as that is what I was told controld the water temp) and we get the water temp back to how it was my first year, totally fine, but the 3 foot waves are what made that swim challenging. |
