I'm in! Hating the taper and hoping is not as hot as the forecast is predicting. Water will be warm for sure.

I'm in. And boo for the heat!

I'm in as well. I had a great race last year but the heat this year might change things... Starting to panic slightly.

I'm in. Have never raced a tri in this kind of heat. How much slower do you have to pace the run? Any slowing on the bike or does the wind take care of it?

I raced Boston 2012 and found that the heat slowed me about 20 minutes.

You can find real time water flow rate and temps for Johnson's Beach here: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/.../uv?site_no=11467000 it has been really cool all week so temps probably backed off a bit.

I'm in ... sort of ... Race Announcing ;-)

Air Temp? ... weather forecast right now is for 55 low / 86 high ... pretty average day here in Sonoma County ... if the wind comes up from the SW as usual (coastal influence) it cools things down a bit. We have had an odd weather pattern lately and the forecast has changed daily. Considering what it was forecasted for (99) ... 86 for a high would be darn good. ALSO, if the breeze stays up it will cool off quick in the late afternoon

If you are worried about the heat:
* Don't overheat in the swim (as in don't swim too hard in a full suit) ... water temp will be low 70's in the morning
* adjust bike pace / effort accordingly ... especially moving uphill (slow)
* First run lap needs to be VERY conservative

Any questions feel free to reply to this post and I'll do my best to respond

Temp is ~1.4 sigma High, 75 percentile.

It could be worse.

& while I haven't acclimatized to heat as well as I could've, I've acclimatized to dehydration by drinking beer, beer, beer.
