Subject: Anyone else woosing out of Wednesdays Island Tri?

I’ve had issues with the heat before, 3 days at U of M hospital and $8,000 in bills. So my cut off for the heat is 85. Forecast for Wednesday so 92. I guess in a way I’m glad it’s not 86 or 87 so I might try to do it when I know I shouldn’t.

Anyway my kid has Friday off so early Friday, before the heat, we are heading up there to do our own tri. It will still be in the low 80s even by 10 AM. But after training for something you just have to do it. Any other wooses out there?

No, but I'm seriously considering dropping back to the AG start, taking it easy and just having fun with it.   I'm overly anxious about the 1st wave start, and not feeling competitive right now (Training has been off too.)  Plus, I cooked my head a bit on my run today and came home with blurry vision.

Definitely better safe than sorry with this heat.

I'm not signed up, but I think you're smart, especially having a history with the heat.  Sometimes you just have to consider the fact that tri's might be bad for your health.

Signed up and not backing out.  Still will start in the elite wave.  The heat is brutal and I am sure it wont back down even at 6pm, so I guess I will have to plan accordingly.
