Veteran  566   Boise, ID |  Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 BoiseI agree...it is way too soon to worry about an accurate weather report. I will tell you that we just had lots of rain today and a heck of a thunder/lightning/hail storms this evening. I was trying to figure out about where I would be on the run as the hail was coming down... |

Elite 4564 Boise | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Boise The local news showed crappy weather until friday then it clearing on saturday. Also does anyone with more knowledge than me know if they can control the river flow enough to drop the water level down so the greenbelt isn't flooded in parts like it is now? |

Its a 5 minute view of the greenbelt That's a small section of the course, but the course will be very shaded and the river is so high right now that there it cools off the path right next to it. |

Master 1610 Kirkland, WA | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Boise i am so glad that the run will be mostly shady! that is one of the hardest things, is to get to the run and have it be totally sunny, 80+ degrees. . it just kills you! hopefully the temp will be abaout 70 all of race day  |

Theres usually a small breeze off the river that brings very cool air onto the path and 90% of the run is in the shade and the run course is very flat, so you really can't ask for a nicer run course. |

Extreme Veteran 419 San Jose, CA | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Boise I can't make the dinner...would rather do my own pre-race thing but might meet some of you out and about there this weekend Someone mentioned there is somewhere else to swim since we aren't allowed at Lucky Peak - was it the LP State Park just on the other side of the dam? It's definitely OK to hop in in a wetsuit and swim around there, yes? I have to do a short brick on Friday morning. Looked at an aerial shot of the area - it was kind of funny that the "beach" is this little tiny thing under the dam LOL |

Veteran 566 Boise, ID | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Boise The park is below the dam...turn right just before going up the highway to the dam, but after the park before the dam, which is a totally seperate park from the one with the pond!! You do have to pay $4 to park because it is a state park. If I'm right, this park was a fluke after the dam was built...water seeping under, I assume, created this pond so they hauled in some rocky sand and actually made a nice family friendly place to picinic and swim. The water is always cold, coming from the bottom of the lake, but it is very comfortable in a wet suit. I swam in the lake this morning. The water temp was perfect, guessing around 60, and smooth as butter...not a wave in site. Man, that would be so awesome for race day.......Tom |

I'm a real wuss when it comes to cold water, but with a polar cap and an Orca S1 I was very, very comfortable. |
