Its a great season opener.  Nice fast flat race.  There was lots of cheating and cutting corners last year that were let slide.

I saw a bunch of guys go in the wrong side of the transition to get to their bike quicker out of T1 and during the run, I would say that I had at least 4 people in front of me cutting the corners on the run.  They were by passing the round about and going the wrong way on the left turn back to town.  The directors just watched.

It just makes no sense.  But all in all, it is a great venue and race.

if you feel comfortable in these temps!!

I did a OWS in Montauk last weekend in 50 deg temps but a fullsleeve...i was plenty warm except for face etc...so I have to believe you would be OK in sleeveless and I would not waste money on new wetsuit.

 

good luck

Those all look like Atlantic Ocean and LI Sound temps. The Bay should be considerably warmer.

Hiddy ho neighbors!  2010, this was my second tri, after the Eisenhower mini-mighty. 

2011 I'm in again, its my first of the season, then doing Smithpoint, the Hamptons Oly, and the Montauk half. 

See you all there.

P.S.  That was me building the ark!
