Regular 93 Malvern, PA | Subject: RE: Celebration Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread I am also in, and I also plan on PRing. And I did the race last year. Although PRing should be "easy" given that I ran a 40-minute 5k last year.
Gawd, I hope it is not 4,000 degrees again this year... |

Regular 173 | Subject: RE: Celebration Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread By the way, in case anyone didn't notice, they've had the swim waves posted for awhile now on the website. Very happy to be going off first, it got really hot really fast last year. |

I have to DNS due to a knee injury but good luck everyone!! Wow - yes, the forecast is getting better and better. NOAA is currently offering 63 degrees F temp, and dewpoint lower than 60 for the start time on Sunday morning. And minimal wind too. Looking forward to it. |

| 2 | Subject: RE: Celebration Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread 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 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. |

Extreme Veteran 3025 Maryland | Subject: RE: Celebration Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread Talked to the race director today, 100% not wetsuit legal, water temp today was (if I remember correctly) 85 degrees. Good luck to you all and I'll see you there! I'll be in my University of Maryland Jacket/Trisuit so if you see me say hello, my name is Dave. |
