Race the Rock, Whidbey Island Triathlon : Official Thread

The amazing thing about the weather out here is I started riding outdoors two months ago and haven't missed a weekend yet. One of the weekend days always clears up and I get out without getting wet! Knock on wood

Running OTH was pretty soggy last Sunday!

Hey windman. I'm really new to Triathlon and am hoping to get into it more now that I have done my first. I'm a teacher and live in Europe, but have a home in Oak Harbor that I go back in the summers. I should be there near the end of June. My family and I love South Whidbey, and will be down there a bit. Maybe I could bring my bike sometime over the summer. I am registered for the Whidbey Tri and will need some training! 

Also, do you recommend a wetsuit for the Goss Lake? I suck at swimming so I thought that it would at least help keep me afloat! 

Talk to you soon... Chad "Orca" (i'm registered for the "orca" division in the whidbey tri!)

 

Hey Chad, would be happy to ride with you in June. I even have an extra 58 cm bike if you want to use it. I recommend a wetsuit. I used one last time and definitely intend to this year. It's a long enough swim that I think it's worthwhile. The water temp isn't an issue though. Honestly, the first time I used a wetsuit I felt like I was cheating. So much easier for me at least.

So...who is going to be there Saturday?  I'm in.  I'll be wearing a neon yellow DeSoto tri top.  Say hi if you see me.

I'm still in!! The lake is nice and warm. A few swimmers there on Monday after work.

hello!
My husband and I will be in greenbank this weekend....can anyone recommend any great rides, runs, or swims????  We are thinking Goss lake, but besides that, we really don't know.
