Elite  3658      Roswell, GA |  Subject: RE: Gulf Coast Triathlon: Official Threadkuotaguy - 2009-05-04 7:54 PM 79 degrees would feel really nice. But I was counting on wetsuit bouyancy to help me through my first ocean swim. The RD will probably take multiple temperature readings looking for a cooler spot. It could be 79 in one place and 76 in another. Hopefully, they can find one a little cooler.

Pro 3883 Woodstock,GA | Subject: RE: Gulf Coast Triathlon: Official Thread To put some of your fears to rest.....in the six years that I have done this race it has been non wetsuit legal exactly once (and that was the first year). We have had a much milder spring this year than in years past. I would be REALLY surprised if it is not wetsuit legal. |

Regular 90 | Subject: RE: Gulf Coast Triathlon: Official Thread Not to freak anyone out further, but based on my previous gulf coast triathlon experience -- I would be more concerned with the wetsuit being a protective layer from jellyfish stings than for floatation purposes. *edited to clarify that I mean previous triathlons in the gulf coast area. I have never done a HIM or this race (GCT) in particular. Edited by wdpresta 2009-05-06 7:51 AM |

I have never done a HIM or this race (GCT) in particular. I think the jellyfish are usually worse leter in the summer. Not positive, but we have been going to the coast during May the last several years and have only seen a couple of jellyfish. |

Expert 1117 Shalimar, FL | Subject: RE: Gulf Coast Triathlon: Official Thread I was swimming this weekend in the bay (not the gulf), and didn't see a single jellyfish. Fingers crossed! And by the way, the newspaper today listed the water temp as 77. |

Extreme Veteran 549 Marietta, GA | Subject: RE: Gulf Coast Triathlon: Official Thread I'm packing everything tonight for an Atlanta 1pm departure tomorrow. And the wetsuit's coming with me. I'm so excited I can hardly hold a thought in my head (though my right IT Band is not as excited). See you all this weekend! Good Luck and Good Racing! |

| Member 28 | Subject: RE: Gulf Coast Triathlon: Official Thread I can't wait! I'm jumping out of my skin! I'm traveling from Atlanta tomorrow too, hopefully take in some relaxing beach time on Friday. Is there a group getting together for a short swim on Thursday? Maybe around 4pm at the race starting point? Let me know if anyone is interested or if there is a group already. Thanks and ROCK-ON triathletes! |

Extreme Veteran 527 Jacksonville, FL | Subject: RE: Gulf Coast Triathlon: Official Thread I'm sure nobody's watching the weather right? Hah! Winds will be out of the SW, in our favor for the outbound, plan accordingly for the return/inbound trip for some gusts to around 10-12 mph especially as you move closer to the water. Probably more of a concern for me since my AG (45-49) will be one of the last to start. Looks like a good day to race...stay hydrated & good luck to all! |
