I am racing IMLV on Sunday and going for an AG podium, ideally KQ. To me, seconds matter...
The forecast is low of 45, high of 60 and rain. I am guessing I wont see 60 degrees on the bike, low to mid 50's is more realistic if that forecast holds. On a training ride, if it is below 60 and cloudy I am wearing arm warmers and maybe gloves. 50 and I am busting out the leg warmers. Rain will make it feel colder I am guessing.
Coming out of the swim in cooler temps I am usually just fine because I am warmed up and the adrenaline is pumping. I am gonna bring cold weather gear so I am prepared for anything, but I prefer not to take the time to put it on in transition or to take the aero penalty riding.
What do the other people that are RACING an ironman do in colder temps?
