Mooseman Triathlon Festival - International Distance

I'm in for the Oly. Will be my lead in to Tupper Lake Half.

Wish the weather would warm up so I can get more cycling in.

We need to plan a pre and/or post-race party again. 

see you all here!!!
Gotta get rid of this snow....

Looks like Mooseman will be a duathlon this year

honestly, you never know with the water temp....
Things change quickly. I remember 3 years ago, the water was 52 7 days out from the race. We had just a miserable spring and it was extremely cold and wet.

Then, we had a week of 90 degree weather, and the water warmed up 10 degrees in a week!
As soon as it starts warming up, the lake warms up fast.

It's also a week later than last year, so the extra 5 or so days really can help...
Don't get too freaked out about water temp just yet

Keith- I'm wondering why the entrant list isn't posted. Im curious as to which of my locals will be making the trek up there.

we usually post once the race is full...You can check if you're entered, though...

BTW, it's almost full!

Hello All,
This will be my first tri and I'm excited and nervous all at the same time...any advice for a newbie?

Enjoy it! Don't worry about time or what others are doing or anything. Take it all in. Keep reading these forums and get ideas of things, but dont' over-complicate anything.

Good luck!

Thanks. I'm starting to shop around for a wetsuit. Any recommendations?

I am in for the Oly race, see you gusy there!

Went up and road/run the course today...there is still ice on the lake. The hill by the Marina...YIKES!

oops...ride/run...

We've now had four-in-a-row 75 degree or higher days, which I'm sure is warming up Newfound (slowly but surely).  Just hope that the sun keeps shining by mid-May when we start to do our swims!!

Just as an update- the ice was gone from the lake on Wednesday.  To compare the ice was off the lake on the 20th last year so there is only a 3 day difference in that particular stat and the Tri is a week later than it was last year.  So everything is 4 days better off.  As Keith said... hakuna matta (I'm paraphrasing of course).

As my mom always says, "it'll all work out,"

anyone been in the water yet? how's it looking?

water is 51 at Newfound right now. About the same as last year at this point. But, the race is a week later than last year, so we should hopefully see 63-65F on race day, if mother nature treats us kindly for the next 3 weeks
