Looking like it could be a warm, but hopefully dry, day.

Are you ready?

Perfect weather. Rather have it warm than cold. Bib 25 here, ready to get up there tomorrow! Best swim location in the sport.

1624 here.

And give me rain, cold, and wind every day of the week. #TeamYeti

I’ll be there as a spectator. You guys are going to have an awesome day :slight_smile:

Don’t bother looking at the weather forecast. It will change 10x between now and race day. Be prepared to get rained on at some point no matter what the forecast says. Be prepared for a headwind climbing the Wilmington Notch. And hold on to your ass descending into Keene.

ENJOY!

Scroll to the bottom. Looks like it’s 75 right now.

I’m coming up with a couple other slowtwitchers who are racing but I’m just there to spectate and scout for next year.

Anyone interested in a little gathering for a beer. Like most of you I’ll be up there tomorrow.

Coming up and ready for a nice relaxing day of triathlon.

And Mr. Race director if you’re reading, no wind on the climbs please!

Count me in for a beer/meetup, Monday after awards, or Friday afternoon?

Yeah, lake is showing 75* online and it definitely doesn’t feel cold, so think that is probably accurate. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it Wetsuit legal for AG’ers and non-wetsuit for pros…

Heading up tomorrow. Can’t wait to get there. LP is such an amazing venue and supports the event so well.

Let’s say Fri???

Driving up this afternoon

Anyone have an updated water temp? I did the loop with just my speedo and was a little chilly but pretty nice.

They said 72.4 at athletic briefing.

Said 76 at the lake today, hoping it stays below that…

Just had to pull out on race morning. Pulled something in my lower back on Wednesday. Friday I could barely walk. Was feeling a little better yesterday, figured I could do the swim and maybe 1 loop of the bike. Tried to run on Saturday and couldn’t go more than 100 feet without pain.
Got up this morning and back was hurting again so decided to pull out completely. Pretty gutted right now.
Suggested Tremblant to my wife as a backup, she isn’t having it.

How to watch IM Lake Placid Live? Do you need to have FB account to watch live stuff?

Edit: never mind. “live” stream started with 3 hours delay.

My sister is doing the race. Last Sunday she went paddle boarding and slipped on the dock when trying to get off said paddle board and bruised her ribs and jacked up some ab and intercostal muscles. She’s a dumbass. She feels “better” but I’m sure that swim is unpleasant right now.
