My try-a-tri is on May 15 (Edmonton) - am I going to totally freeze to death after the swim? Is it open water??? I raced in Banff last year in September. Water was around 10C, air temp maybe 14C, and it was raining on the bike... We survived. Was that the Subaru series? I'm doing that one this September .. That was the one! If it wasn't so close to IMC though I would definitely do it again this year. The weather was pretty chilly last year but the weekend before and the weekend after were beautiful, and that the race organizers were mentioning that the year before it was 27C on that same day. Its got to be one of the most beautiful race courses in North America and the town of Banff really gets into it so I very highly recommend the Subaru Banff race. I'm doing relay this go-round, but always did the Subaru series when I lived on the Island. As an aside, I also used to train with LifeSport in Victoria, while they were still the Commonwealth Triathlon Club. Ahhhh the good ol' days. ;-) |

Great to see as many people came out as they did though. Yup - definately a character builder. I was volunteering on behalf of TriCops, and was holding traffic at the 2 KM marker on 50th ... watching people go out at 2K then come in at 19K was quite the difference! |

. ha ha ha. It WAS kinda fun though but Weasel Head was treacherous. I 'tweaked' my left knee a little so have taken it easier since plus 2 basal cell acarcinomas removed (Be warned all ye sun lovers) so have to stay out of the pool for now. Healing time.| 2011-05-01 6:02 PM in reply to: #3476149 |

| 13 | Subject: RE: cold enough for ya? I live in SW area. West on Gelnmore to HWY 8 and on towards the mountains a little. Called Elbow Valley. Where is Copperfield? (I am new to the city). Sure would love to meet you. I get back on May 23. Hopefully a LOT fitter and stronger. Hmmmmm Gwen PS Our waterski club opens in May...if the lake ever defrosts. It is located way down Spouth...off DeerFoot before you get to Okotoks. I will probably do a lot ofbiking and running in that area as i will spend alot of time at the water ski club. Might even get a chance to Open water swim the ski lake if I get the timing right.
