Inside-Out Sports Olympic Triathlon at BeaverDam : Official Thread (Page 2)

Swim shouldn't be an issue for you- much warmer now. Beaverdam area has rolling terrain so be in that mindset. 

You can't race downhill all the time Good Luck!

Water is warming up.  Everyone will be stuck in wetsuits, it's still early in the season!  I wore mine to test it out this morning in the pool (rinsed thoroughly afterwards), and it was like a monkey and a football for me to get out of.

The hill on Ghoston is a bit of a meanie, and the rolling hills from 98 back to the park entrance will be in play for you, but if you don't kill yourself on the Ghoston hill, you'll have gas in the tank for Hwy. 50 and the run.  Spin the hills on 50, don't try to torque it.

Good question. I don't know the answer to that!

Looks like cold and rainy (maybe) on Sat. Curious what to wear for 60 degrees after a swim. I rode to work this morning in tri top with a long-sleeved bike jersey this morning and it was nice for 5 mins then too warm...but not sure a tri top alone would feel great for 26 miles!

fgump - 2013-04-18 9:07 AM I'm sure this will come out in the race day info (when that gets published), but do you guys know how they'll work this with two races going on simultaneously?  Both swim maps are the same, so is ours a 2-lap swim of the 750m course?  I'm just curious how this is going to work out...

 I will likely go with my old standby; tri top and arm warmers.  Rode with that this past Sunday, then pulled the arm warmers after about 10 miles.  Also had toe covers and pulled them off.  I think for this race, it'll be wetsuit and 2 latex caps for the swim, tri top, arm warmers, light gloves (maybe), tri shorts, toe covers on the bike, and as little as I can get away with for the run

Questions answered regarding waves.

I rode this morning with no toe covers and feet were fine...not even a touch cold. Neither were my hands. Body would have been chilly without more than just a tri suit on, but after a few mins I think that would have been fine. Should be a fun race.

Not that I am saying HTFU or anything.

At White lake with 52-54deg water it really was not that much of an issue once it started. I had my wetsuit and 2 caps and that was it. The air temp after getting out of the pretty fridgid water was around 55 and I went with my trisuit only. I did have toe warmers already on shoes so I left them on, but I feel I would have been fine without. Just some sort of reference points to maybe help make your decisions.

Hope everyone has a great day.

But you are out on the course a lot shorter than the rest of us!! lol

You understand that "I did have toe warmers on the bike" and "HTFU" don't mix...

LOL did you not read my race report? My walk of shame was a solid 2.5mi and it took me a while. I have the peeling arms and shoulders to prove it.

You should have received an email with your own number in it.  Mine is 17.  Don't think I've ever been a 17...

Yep, 205... Scott Moomaw.

46?  There were only 17 last year.  I wonder why so much bigger.  I suppose because it's a good tune-up for the Raleigh HIM.

Thats a lot of, uhm, "mature" people racing!

152 it is.....Thanks and hope everyone enjoys the race
