Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Don't panic about Oregon....yet! Unlike most of the rest of the country, we have been having one of the coldest, wettest springs on record. The Salem area had almost two inches of rain last weekend. It's combining with spring snowmelt in the mountains to push the rivers way higher than normal. Our weather tends to turn on a dime at some point (Oregonian joke that in La Nina years, summer starts on July 5), and then it simply doesn't rain until rainy season starts again sometime in the fall. My guess is by the time the race rolls around, things will be back to normal. The Willamette isn't that deep in most places, for most of the year. Water isn't warm and you'd want a wetsuit, but not super-cold either in mid-summer. Last year was somewhat drier than normal, and on race day there were a few parts that were so shallow most people had to stand up and walk. I swam out in the main channel (a lot of people didn't, preferring to stick closer to shore) and was fine. The worst that happened was I started to get a bit sleepy and cold because I was basically just being pushed by the current--actually pulling and kicking didn't seem to add much to the ride at all, so some of the time I was just streamlining along like a human kayak! It wasn't crazy fast (it was a definite PR though) or dangerous at all. Edited by Hot Runner 2022-06-13 8:57 PM |

Can't say I'd be TOO upset if it was cancelled but figures - two fast swims on the circuit - Choo and Salem - one cancelled and one TBD (for they years I compete). |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() By late July, you will probably be able to stand up in most of the Willamette. Last year, we had very little rain for that whole month and temps on race day featured clear skies and highs in the 80's, morning lows in the 50's. I wouldn't panic unless you are still seeing heavy rains in mid-July. Sunburn is actually more of an issue then. Most of Oregon has really clean air and in dry season, without the haze or humidity and clouds you see elsewhere, you can get fried quite quickly! Cool, wet weather in mid to late July would be really, really unusual for us and would have me re-evaluating my plans for Calgary as well (in that case, because I might well freeze to death if summer hasn't started there yet either). |

Extreme Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by Hot Runner I've almost always worn a one-piece for all distances and really never had a problem with it. You can kind of roll the top as you pull it down so it doesn't get gross at porta-potties. I did change into a singlet and shorts for my full IM run, but it was really quick to pull the whole tri-suit off, get down to jog bra, and then put on run clothes. One thing I would recommend against are the one piece suits for women with built-in bras--they often don't seem designed to fit any actual woman who might fit the rest of the suit, and they can be really tough to pull back up when wet. Probably less common now that a lot of suits have sleeves--I can't visualize how a built-in bra would work with one of those! I watched some of today’s IM Des Moines and the lead woman used the porta potty while on the run. There was a whole discussion about how tight the suits are and how difficult they can be to get the arms back in bc of the wet and the tightness. The racer actually was pretty good at it, she came out with it down and worked on getting situated as she ran along. My one piece was sleeveless so I didnt have that issue. I have one with sleeves that I’ve only worn a couple of times in training and can attest to the arms being a bit hard to slip into. That said, if I ever do a 70.3 again, I’d probably go back to the suit and just make sure I am careful in the porta potty! I went with the two piece...better safe than sorry. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I've always worn a one piece, but I also swim in Lake Huron which might top out at 70F in August. The biggest thig is body glide around the ankles to help take it off. Unless you are in a full IM and have the luxury of strippers. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yikes, didn't realize it was that early. All I know is by the time I got to thinking about summer races, Oregon 70.3 was already full, so I didn't sign up for it. Also, it was a pretty course but I felt like the swim and bike didn't really play to my strengths. They were both kind f chaotic. If you do the race and there haven't been any major changes, you'll see what I mean! Mom wanted a road trip, so I signed up for Calgary again. Still doubting my sanity. This year has been physically and mentally brutal and my time and energy to train has been pretty limited. Basically I have been doing the long runs/rides/swims but not a lot of total volume, especially the run. I don't think I've done a brick in at least six months. I'm not going to be ready, but hopefully can at least "complete", if not "compete". Also signed up for Washington 70.3 in September, The timing is bad, but I want to do it if I can--might be a bit fitter by then, knock on wood. |

Clearly you need to go golfing now. Absolutely!!! We are typically playing 3-4 times a week, so I'll definitely be getting to that soon. My daughter has a trip to DC planned next week for a school function, so I imagine we'll be playing a lot of golf next week (she is not really into golf so much). Headed to camp and fish again this weekend at the boat, so hoping for more halibut and whales. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() No....Rain AGAIN! This is the fourth rainy weekend in a row. Starting to go insane (actually that ship sailed long ago!) School's out, though. One student down with Covid for the last week of school; another went home sick with 45 minutes to go on the last day--came in from recess and said he needed to lie down. One of my livest live wires, so if he says he's sick, it's major. Poor kid. It was his last recess ever (moving on to middle school). Another threw up in the final 5 minutes but her mom claims it was food poisoning. OMG. Good we are out. For what it's worth, 27 months into the pandemic, my workplace actually gifted me two free Covid test kits. This is the first time I have been offered such a thing. Feeling healthy so far, though. I will test if I don't. I believe I am now the only staff member who hasn't (to my knowledge) gotten Covid. (Knock on wood....) Quite possibly have had it, possibly multiple times, but have never noticed any symptoms that I don't normally get with seasonal allergies, or noticed any abnormal heart rate, fatigue, etc. during training. Who knows?! Raining torrentially now. If I knew a dance to stop it, I would, for you IM Oregon people! |

I signed up for Oregon because I wanted to do a river swim. If they cancel the swim, it's my fault. ![]() |

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() We got back from our St Thomas/St Croix trip on Wednesday morning at 3:00 am. My goal for the trip was to train like usual, but swim in the ocean instead of the pool. Didn't happen because I got what I thought was food poisoning the second day we were there. I'm now suspecting it was an allergy to something I ate. I had grouper encrusted in crab on Sunday night. Next morning was okay, but I got worse during the day. I will spare you all the details. Tuesday morning was a bit better, but Tuesday afternoon was not good. I woke up Wednesday feeling 100% normal so we went to St Johns for the day. I stayed away from fish for the rest of the vacation, but I noticed anytime there was shellfish on the menu at a restaurant, I would start feeling ill after eating again. My husband noticed that the french fries tasted like fish. My sister put two and two together and asked one restaurants if they cooked the other food in the same oil/grill that they did the shellfish. Yep. They said everyone did. Of course we only had a few days left of our trip before we figured it out. But at least those few days I was fine. I am 100% sure it's an allergy because the way I felt after eating was how I feel after I did when taking Aleve before we discovered that I was allergic to the Naproxen in Aleve. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() For the Oregon 70.3 folks, I hope I have some good news. It has been raining most of the weekend, as usual. (That's not the good news.) But tomorrow is supposed to be merely cloudy and after that there is no rain in the forecast for the next week, plus somewhat more summer-like temps (70's). I'll believe it when I see it. At this point, we've had 4 rainy weekends in a row, and I can count on one hand the number of days so far this year that it's been nice enough to sit out on our deck without rain gear and multiple warm layers. But if the forecast is on the level, there is probably a chance that the rivers will start to come down soon and might make it back to "normal" in time for the race. |

No race for me this week but I did the local "Tour De Blueberry" with about 600 of my closest friends. Great event! They have multiple distances. I did 66 miles (closer to 67) and met a lot of nice people. I rode with a woman from Illinois. She was down visiting her son and decided to sign up last minute. It was hot but fun! |
