Subject: RE: Buffalo Triathlon - Sprint Course : Official Threadtrying2swim - 2013-04-17 7:18 PM I have been training hard all winter as this will be my first triathlon. What are the chances of the swim actually happening? Have they ever has run/bike/run because of frigid water temps? Water temp was in the upper 60s in 2011, and it warmed very quickly in the last week of May (58-64 from May 17-24, per their news thread from 2011). The lake is relatively shallow, so as long as we get decent temps in May, it should come back in line. I would think it would have to be in the 50s before they would cancel it. Lots of races are run with the temps in the low 60s (though I doubt many of those bill themselves as "beginner friendly"). I think the Blaine tri on May 18 is in real danger of moving to a duathlon, on the other hand... |
