Sounds like Roth conditions would make it a perfect qualification race then. 80F 52% humidity.
Stretching it - choose your ‘weapon’.
As at pm Friday (36 hours out) forecast (ventusky) for noon Sunday is 21oC/70oF and 70%.
Light rain during the second lap of the bike. Damp run.
6kn westerlies for the bike, but increasingly gusty.
ETA: Weather systems blowing through so timing uncertainty.
At 8am Saturday, for Sunday (from TSB’s link, more or less as described ^^):
Forecast seems to have changed or google was confused. Gonna be muggy as hell when people jump into the water.
6AM - 52F, 82% Humidity
2PM - 76F, 28% Humidity
Felix provided the last effective update on the water temperature - looks v unlikely to be wetsuit legal (for amateurs).
Measured at 25.1oC this am: 24 hours to go.
Today maxes out at 27oC air, sunny all day and overnight only down to 18oC so chances of water temperature dropping half a degree minimal.
Section 4.02 WETSUIT RULES (2026 Competition Rules – Page 14)
(a) For age-group athletes. . . wetsuits may be worn in water temperature up to and including 24.5 degrees C/76.1 degrees F.
Picks guys and gals! Don’t be shy

Kat 6.08 after the swim back
Davis, pohle siffert Langbridge about 1.40 min behind Lucy
Team canyon 4.42 ahead of kB after 15.5 k
Men’s gap to the lead going out, women’s gap coming down.
The question is is Lucy waiting for the chase pack ?
In my mind it would be smart .
Has Lucy ever ‘waited’?

At some stage people wise up lol.
Let alanis do the work a bit save energy and make kat work solo.
Kat is losing time on siffert, so in a way that is a dream scenario for Lucy so far

At k 77.5 Charles 6.50 ahead
I think gaining 1 min on kat in last 16 k
At 100 k team canyon now 6.40 up on kB gaining time
Blu with Magnus but the momentum seems to have stalled for Magus and blu has to work in front as well now .
Advantage team canyon so far
Projected bike 3.57 h so far
Kat lost another 45 sec at last 11 k 8.35 ISH down at 101 k
At the moment advantage Charles who still is with pohle.
The comments on yt are crazy again. People hating on Laidlow, because of the incident where he got pushed into an age-grouper. Roth should consider doing something about that second time Solarer Berg.
