Navesink AKA Nav-e-sink or Swim 2014

Not doing it but looking for places to rent a wet suit in central jersey- Thinking I want to rent one for Asbury park Tri in August- will be my first Ocean event.

I did it last year without a wetsuit, and it was actually the perfect temperature. However, this year the water might be a bit colder, though I remember having a fairly cold spring last year as well.

It is all street parking, and there is enough for everyone. My wife came to watch the race, but couldn't come until after things started, and was still able to find a place to park.

It is a two loop course with four short running sections. Half way into the loop you hit a sandbar that has the turn buoy, which you have to run around and jump back into the water, it's weird. Then when you are done with the first loop you have to run on the beach, through a gate, and back into the water. The finish is not in the water, it's on land, so you have to run that as well. The men's 2.4 mile winner was decided on the run last year, I was told it was exciting, I was still in the water at the time.

Have fun, they have sandwiches afterwards, but if you want breakfast food I'd recommend this place:

I'm signed up for the 2.4 swim as well! I did the race in 2011 and there was plenty of on street parking. I don't know about water temp but I'll be wearing a full sleeve. Does anyone know any good bike rides from the swim site? I think I'll try and get my 2- 2 1/2 hour ride done down there.

I did the red bank tri last sunday...water was in 60-62...swam in a full and was comfortable...there were plenty in sleeveless and a cpl swimming with none but this was also sprint and ply only...weather should be good and warm up some more this week...
