Good luck to you all. The Ohio River was warm with an easy current Friday morning during the practice swim. Sunday should be likewise and the weather forecast is good, too.
Be super careful on the out & back. There’s always a crash there. There’s always people riding 2 and 3 wide blocking the road. There’s always somebody crossing the yellow line going 40mph all “aero’d out”. This will be made worse this year with the nearly 1000 extra riders.
Be super careful at the end of the Ballard School Road section. It’s a long fast downhill with a hairpin right turn on to Old Sligo Road - somebody always crashes there because they’re traveling too fast to make the turn.
I’m nursing an injury this year, so I’m just gonna do the swim with my training buds. Then I’m changing into shorts and walking out of T1. Wish I was out there with you.
Good luck, be safe, God Bless…
