Member 38 Seattle | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread Honest: the hills are not too bad on this race, Getting out of the dam area (is tough), then flat, then a slow false flat until mile 7-8, and the last 2 miles are up hill, but short--it goes quick. I'll see if I can post my garmin, you could also look on mapmyride.com I suspect. This will be my 6th year on the course! Be glad about the hills going back as sometimes you will be fighting a headwind! Suspect that if you went over to the Coeur De Arlene (sp?) area you could find some hills that where really close to the race.. The run is an out & back, mile 1-1.15 has some rollers, then a flat section along a steam. It's really not a hard course! John Marquis |

| 12 | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread OnionMan will be my first 'real' tri of actual distance, so I'm pretty excited (and a bit nervous thanks to an old back injury flaring up this week). How many other BTr's are headed out to Walla Walla next weekend? |

Member 38 Seattle | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread Does anyone know the water temp at Lake Bennington? Is it as cold as last year? |

Member 99 somewhere in the northwest | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread jsm - 2012-05-22 3:24 PM Does anyone know the water temp at Lake Bennington? Is it as cold as last year? I jumped in a couple of weeks ago temp low 50s hoping for warm weather to heat it up a little |

| Las Vegas | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread I'll be there too. I posted a question on their Facebook page about the current water temp; haven't heard back yet. Either way, I'm stoked. I'll be representing Team Red White and Blue in my TeamRWB kit. See you all there. Dave |

| 7 | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread I am doing the race and have been swimming in the Lake for the past 3 weeks. The water is actually pretty warm. It was about 62 degrees a couple weeks ago. |

Master 2005 Silverton, Oregon | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread gslye and I just did a short swim in the lake yesterday. It was comfortable with a wetsuit... no frozen face or hands like when we swam there a few weeks ago. Looking forward to the race tomorrow! Have a great race everyone! |

New user 2 Valley | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread Did anyone else think that the swim course was short? I thought the times looked a little fast, my own included. |

Member 38 Seattle | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread I agree, there is no way I swim that fast, I looked at my other years swims and it seems a little short. However I learned at the Apple Capital Tri (In the Columbia)& at the Louisville IM a couple of years ago that sometime the currents can seem to help you more than you suspect.

New user 2 Valley | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread My best 1500 meter OWS last year was right around 28 minutes and this year I knew I was a bit faster but I did it in 21! I wish I could have done 1500 meters that fast, but I find it a little hard to believe. |

Extreme Veteran 408 Spokane, Wa | Subject: RE: Onion Man Triathlon : Official Thread yes that was a short swim. I think I should have been around 21 or 22 and swam 16:40. I'm guessing it was 300 yds short. |
