Toyota US Open Triathlon - Sprint or Olympic Distance (Page 2)

m2tx - 2011-09-28 12:00 AM USAT rules is 78f or lower for wetsuit. If you're not in contention for awards, I believe you can wear a wetsuit for temps up to 83.9F. I won't be eligible for awards with my times- so I'll be wearing a wetsuit. I think I have to be pretty close to 2:00 time to get a shot at a podium...and I won't be anywhere close. My goal for this race is to beat my time from last year for all 3 sports by 5 min...and I wore a wetsuit last year so I'll be wearing a wetsuit again this year unless it is 84F in the water on Sunday.I'm not a fast swimmer but fairly decent on the bike so I have to do a lot of passing on the bike course. I won't be too aggressive on those iffy sections and will have to be extra alert. Of course, the update indicates the road will be paved by tomorrow. I'll scout it out on Saturday just to make sure I know where the most dangerous sections are.
