Anyone done the Tempe Xterra before? First tri and trying to decide if I should get a wetsuit. Race is 10/11. Getting mixed results when looking up October water temps. Not too worried about speed, just hypothermia.

unless it suddenly turns really cold, the water should be fine without a wetsuit. I think it's still in the mid to low 80s, so it's doubtful that it's going to drop dramatically in the next 4 weeks.  I'm doing IMAZ 70.3 on the 18th and will likely go without a wetsuit.

looks like the lake is down to 78 degrees now. that's probably a the cusp of no wetsuit for me - - we'll see how the weather unfolds in the next week.

Immediately I felt attracted by the challenge. I have done plenty of biking this summer and a new motivation, particularly toward the end of the summer, was what I needed.

My 1st triathlon, Xterra and the mess I made of myself. This wasn’t your regular triathlon, it was off-road.

The XTERRA off-road triathlons consist of a lake swim, a mountain bike trail ride, and a trail run. I decided to try the AZ Xtreme Desert XTERRA Tri as my 1st off-road triathlon, and my 3rd tri ever.
