No idea, but St. George on an off day will make the list. Of course, it could also be 90F and sunny.

Trying to find ones that are consistently cooler and now having to rely on an "OFF" day for it to be cool.

Did Lake Placid 70.3, last year, it never reached 10C all day I believe. It was 4C in AM getting ready in transition. Bitterly cold on the bike descents. They had a warming tent at swim start. Not sure how it was this year. Not likely to have a scorcher there.

Taupo can be chucking down rain and 40' F OR 90'+.

isn't oceanside usually pretty cold?

Placid

Placid looks good. I wonder if they will keep it around the same dates for next year. It still says TBD

The Boulder 140.6 was pretty effing cold this year. It was like 40 degrees in the morning.

yeah but didn't it turn into a scorcher later in the day?

I don't recall it being warm at all. It was somewhat pleasant on the run I felt. I think it went into the 60s.

69.8 was the high:

Wasn't Indian Wells pretty cold last year?

The water was, not the run.

I would vote Placid as well, seems consistent in its short history but I would also plug a vote for Maine 70.3 as even if it is sunny and more in the upper 70s the course is very shaded and protected.

I looked at Maine..seems like the weather during that time of the year runs fairly cool.

Boise 2012 70.3 photo 40F. Bike ride shorten to 15 miles!:

Victoria & Calgary both have had childish years.

Zell am See had the bike cancelled in 2018 because of snow.

I was guessing you were going for 'chilly-ish'

Lake Placid 70.3 was 47F at the start and only had a high of 57F. 6-10 mph winds made the bike chilly but the run was perfect.

Did Boise 70.3 one year and there was rain and snow when they bused you out to the start. Waiting for my wave it was probably 35, windy, and raining, snowing up on the hills. Swim was cold and it was so cold that they only had you ride into town, like 10 miles and then do the run. Some elected to ride in their wetsuits. Fortunately the sun came out on the run and it got to 50F. My best run ever!

You are referring to 2012 when the bike ride was shorten to 15 miles.

Bariloche 70.3 was very cold last year. March in Patagonia.
13-14C water, 6C air temp, windy af
