Federal escape

I am doing this. I did it a couple of years ago without a wetsuit and you're right, for such a short swim you probably won't need one.

Are you doing the sprint or the oly?  I'm registered for the Oly but I might change that.

It was my very first tri two years ago, and I didn't have a wetsuit (I don't think I even knew what a wetsuit was at that point).....definitely no problem without.  I raced there a couple of weeks ago and the lake temp was around 72, I think, very comfortable.  Be prepared for strange water, though.  It's peat-fed, so very dark, like swimming in strong coffee.  It can freak you out a bit if you don't expect it!  Trifreaks are really nice people and put on a great race.  If I recall, they had pancakes and sausages afterward, which were soooo good!

If I happen across a comp entry, I'll do it, too. 

I'm also pasty!  I'm Scottish Heh.   We should try and hook up beforehand. This was my 1st official all outdoor tri and I met some great Bters there!

In fact, Lynne and I were both there doing our first tri.  We'd met for one swim before that but since then have done about a zillion races together, and lots of socializing!    Also met my friend Liz there, amongst others.  I will bet there ends up being a lot of BTers!

YAY! Luno I will certainly keep an eye out for you. I have yet to pick an outfit. LOL

I have switched to the Sprint now.
