ATTENTION ATHLETES:
After several days of unusually warm temperatures and low winds, Public Health Madison and Dane County has closed multiple beaches, including Olin Park based on high levels of blue-green algae blooms found in the water. These levels currently are impacting the swim location for the IRONMAN 70.3 Wisconsin triathlon.
IRONMAN is working with local authorities to monitor the levels and are preparing adjustments to the swim course if a change should be needed. Please continue to check the IRONMAN 70.3 Wisconsin event website and Facebook page for updates. Information will also be posted at registration check-in and announcements will be made during the athlete briefings on Friday and Saturday.

Apparently they are retesting the water today. Anyone in Madison have any insider information?
Thanks, Matt
