Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Threadguppie - 2011-02-09 6:48 PM Anyone have any advice on brand, sizing, and where one would purchase the afore mentioned neoprene caps?
I did my very first tri on the Michigan side of lake Michigan, and to quote miami9296 "it was effin COLD!" Before IM bought the rights to SOR (Spirit of Racine ), a neoprene swim cap was legal. However, one MUST wear the official swim cap OVER the neoprene cap. I wore mine for 2 out of the 3 races I did. I suspect that the M-Dot branded race wouldn't have any issue with a neoprene swim cap if the water temps were wetsuit-legally defined. I would refer to the IM 70.3 Racine race rules and regulations page first and foremost to find out. If they don't specifically state swim caps, then contact the race director. |
