Broome County Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 2)

the way the forecast is looking this week I'm thinking no wetsuit!

Yepper - looks that way.
JCC, I think everyone better take a cue from you and practice "naked" tonight just in case.

now that would be something!! I can see it now...."okay, so the water's not that cold so what's your excuse?"

OMG, you're freaking hysterical.

The BCTC club is going to do a 50/50 raffle to spice up the post-race activities! Woohooo. I hope they have a dj this year, Steve moved!

The water temperature at the Dorchester Reservoir ranged between 80-83* last night when I tempted it at three spots at arms-length-distance from the surface.

USAT rules say wetsuit wearers in temps 78-84* are ineligible for age group awards.  Wetsuits aren't permissable in water 84*+.

I contacted the race director through email today to ask how closely they plan to follow the USAT rules... it's a USAT sanctioned event, but I don't know how they'll keep track of who wears a wetsuit and who doesn't.

Thank you for the temperature reading. It is helpful for planning purposes.

This might sound like a silly question - but this race is on SATURDAY, right?  Everything I see says the 17th except for the race listing here on BT. 

yes the race is the 17th at 930

Does the BT one have it set for a Sunday date? Hmm, interesting.

almost there folks....who's gonna wear a bananna hammock? Rob? John? The ice cream's on me if you do!!

Two scoops of ice cream or one ?

Where does one find COWBELLS in Broome County? I only like triathlons where I can make lots of noise!

HA HA - I was going to suggest AGWAY...

Witty??  you like to make noise??  hmm who knew

Oooooh! Thanks for the Party City link! I'll check it out tonight!!! I was hoping to get a bunch, but at 4 bucks a pop I might just get one or two.

Wouldn't it be funny if they were a lot less expensvie at Agway?? =)

Who's ready people???

Ready? HA! I can't decide what running shoes I want to wear and I SWEAR that I had the same dilemma last year! 

p.s. someone said that someone said no wetsuits... the race director never returned my email though. grrrrrrr.

That depends what the definition of ready is!  In terms of properly trained, well then no (except for the run), but I am looking forward to it so from that aspect, I'm ready!

Should I even bother packing my wetsuit?

Great job everyone!!!
