My understanding of the rules is that even if it's not wetsuit legal you can still wear one but you are just disqualified for age group awards, correct? So technically if one is more comfortable in a wetsuit and not expecting to place you could still wear one, just don't expect to get any awards if you happen to place. Am I correct on this? I will be racing, don't care for or against wetsuit, I just don't want 95+ degree weather on the run, spoken from a true Oregonian!
You are right, you can wear a wetsuit up to 83 I think, but not be eligible for any awards/qualifications. I definitely won't be making any podiums in two weeks, but I think I'm still going to opt to not wear one. Just need to build the experience in this regard. I too am hoping for some mild running weather. Hopefully it will stay "cool" until the afternoon.
