Quick question: This will be my first tri and I am looking forward to Sunday. I did not bother training or worrying about a wet suit as I expected the water temp to be too high. With a 60 temp at start time would it be low enough and should I even bother considering a suit?
I didn't see anything posted at packet pickup today (but I was also herding two children ), but as of Wednesday the water temp was over 85 degrees, so I would HEAVILY assume it will be a no-wetsuit swim. I believe the rule for water temp/wetsuits is: 78 degrees and below, wetsuit legal; 78-83, may use but ineligibile for awards; 83 and up not permitted. However, as has been done by CTA for athlete safety in the past, for temps over 78 the race director can order no wetsuits. |
