High of 83
Low of 61
Sunny
Could be a warm day out there.
Sounds great to me, I’d rather ride/run in those tmps than when its super cold outside. I trained this summer in MUCH hotter weather than that.

You feeling any better?
Water temp? Sorry, feeling lazy today.
Definitely sounds warm, especially when I’ve been training in the 40’s and 50’s for the last month.
Sounds bueno to me. Sine my last race was the heat-induced sufferfest in Wisconsin, low 80s sounds nice and cool to me. The last couple of weeks of training have been chilly, but I figure my body hasn’t forgotten how to sweat yet!

FWIW, the weather channel has 30% chance of thunderstorms.
Hey QR, posted in the “Ugh, I’m sick” thread… (what the Dr. said at least).

That sounds perfect to me. My recent experience is that I can run just fine in the 80s; it’s only when it climbs into the 90s that I have problems. At the same time, I have really NOT been looking forward to shivering through the first part of the bike leg, and as a slow swimmer I may not have time to add a lot of layers in T1.
Now I’m just crossing my fingers that the showers/thunderstorms will stay away.
Water temp will be 49.99 degrees F.
why post such a ridiculous water temp?
This is actually a pretty good forecasted temp.
It takes the guesswork out of what to wear on the bike as most people are comfortable in just a jersey and tri shorts at 70 degrees.
For us mere mortals, just remember that it gets dark at 4:35pm on this most eastern part of the central time zone. So, hopefully we will experience moderate temperatures during the run. Or, at least the 2nd half of the run. (Should be in the 70’s during the run for most of us)
Yeah, I wasn’t looking forward to being super-duper cold on the bike either. I can hang with 70’s easy. I still think it might be a wee bit nippley coming out of T1. 
Even if it’s around 65.
But 65 is much better than 45 or 50 which is what I was originally thinking it might be.

OK, everyone…pack your preemptive rain gear, please!!! If you don’t bring it, it will rain.
Too funny, but very true. Every time I ride w/ a rain coat in the jersey pocket, it never rains.
high surf projected as well…mmmmm cold water and big waves…
rain gear for what… the race or pre- and post-race?
My trusty Macintosh Weather Dashboard Widget predicts the following:

And right now Partly Cloudy and 75
