A single clear night with a low in the 40s will knock that temp down below 76.1 and there are several in the forecast for the up coming week so you're golden for a wetsuited swim.

I officially don't think there's any chance it won't be under 76 for race day based on this week's forecast.

I have to cheerfully agree. Now if we can have no rain until I am down Keene for the second time, it will be golden!!! I'll be in LP Wednesday, staying at Art Devlin's with my wife and 2 Border Collies.

x2 on getting down Keene 2x before the rain kicks in....but that is what I said in 2008 and it started pissing rain during the swim and did not stop till 2 hours after I finished. Having said that, I'd be tickled to death if I could match my 2008 time.

The accu weather forecast sucks (too much above 76) http://www.accuweather.com/...ther-forecast/339681
Hopefully the night time lows will drag the race day temperature down.

a 40% chance of rain in LP might as well be 100%.

Yes, I agree....as long as it is after Konaexpress get's down Keene the second time...and if the rain can wait for 10 more minutes, then I should be down the hill too!

My friend has a connection to a local weatherman here in Syracuse that will be taking the time to take a good look at the forecast on Sunday for us. Will know Wednesday and I will update then. Should be a little more accurate than the websites.

Mirror Lake temp was 75° this morning. I am very confident that it will continue the downward trend the rest of this week. a few nights are forecast to be mid 40°'s.

Thursday slowtwitch meet and great at the Pub? none of the regulars were in town last year and I wound up drinking an Ubu by myself. Hopefully a few slowtwitchers will make it this year.

i saw the low's in the 40's. If it's wetsuit legal (i can't imagine it not being)...then I'm hoping the temperature drops into the low 70's by sunday.

Heading up to Lake Placid tomorrow morning...anyone have a current water temp for Mirror Lake?

74 this morning https://www.facebook.com/...mp;total_comments=79

I was just in the water. Regardless of what they report the "official" temperature as, it's friggin' warm! Warmer than the pool I train in. If it's wetsuit-legal, prepare to feel like a boiling lobster...

i see the temp rise friday and saturday, is that likely to take us back to 76 ?

i can live with the rain if it chooses to piss it down

Where do you swim where they keep the pool water temps below 76º?



Edit: changed 'above' to 'below' simply to make more sense in context

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

If you are there just go to the end of the pier. There is a small rope with a thermometer attached to the end of it. You can see for yourself the water temperature. Today it will drop for sure.

By the way, I did not realize they have that thermometer there....did you measure the temp at Epicman LP?

Yes I did, seems to me it was around 64'ish.

Ithaca College. Amazing new pool facility there, and they keep it nice and cool, so it's great for distance sets. I've never asked a lifeguard the temperature, but I'd guess it's 74 or 75 most days.

Yup, you're right... it dropped. Storm last night, and cool air, are dropping it. 73/74 this morning. If I had to bet my life savings one way or the other, I'd be that we'll be wetsuit-legal on Sunday.

Does anybody know WTC's policy when it comes to thunder storms? Is it a go? Or, does lighting put a damper on the day?

according to weather.com it's going to be 40 tonight, 44 tomorrow night, and 51 friday night. But, Saturday should make some people's hearts skip a beat with a high of 79.

Just checked the temperature, still 74. Air temperature is 54 going to 38 tonight. 42 Thursday night, 48 Friday night, 57 Saturday night.
