Water temp is ~68.
Wx for Sunday looks decent. According to Intellicast.com start time temp is forecast at 68 with humidity dropping from 80% down to 60% range during the morning.
Hi temp is forecast at 83, with winds out of the NNW at 9mph.
I’m running my cosmic carbonnes just in case the wind picks up.
In. Bib No. 1485.
A training buddy rented an RV and campsite for this years race so we’re staying out there Sat. night. The run meanders through the campsites and I was pretty jealous last year of the people that were set up there. Not so much the tents, but the RV’s looked comfortable and damn convenient compared to driving in from KC.
According to the Corp. of Engineers, the lake surface temp is 67 degrees as of June 4. You’ll be able to use your wetsuit.
I’ll be there and wearing a pink tutu on the run. Again!
Either HED3X2 or HED3-Disc cover. I’ve never had a problem controlling them in any winds I have rode…
The site I saw said 67* was on May 19, different from the air temp data.

I am giggling at your water temp. You probably have not swam OWS locally, here in Kansas City area. Just check on the date of that water temp report.
Now, will they keep taking samples until they find a wetsuit legal temp, you bet they will.
holy shit, I’m brining my spinervals video for you to sign. You’ve beat my ass hundreds of times.
Get in line - not many on ST BG has NOT put a pretty good beat down on …
Hey if anyone wants a campsite for this weekend at the racesite, I will sell you mine. I ended up getting a spot on a couch at a friends and would rather not camp. The spot is a 2 minute walk from transition. If you want it send me an email at adam DOT coy AT colorado.edu.
Ach, your right. I didn’t catch that the date from the water temp sample was different than the “daily lake info” for June 4 as it was all of a piece and I was in a rush today. Sorry for the misinformation.
I have swam open water here in KC recently, and 68 didn’t sound quite right, but temperatures do vary by lake. For what it is worth, according to the temp sensor on my boat chartplotter, lake of the ozarks was running between 74-76 last weekend.
I’ll be there and wearing a pink tutu on the run. Again!
I’m back, too! With my little dog Toto. (and totally undertrained, but hoping to have a fun time)
See you out there!
Love,
Dorothy

Now, that is more like it. Yep, Hillsdale, not far from here was reporting about a week ago 76F, I swam at SMP, given it is a much smaller and more shallow, it was like a bath tub.
I am guessing temp approaching and passing 78F with these last two days of over 90F air temp. Will they find sub 78F, you bet they will.
If you notice, the official report for Clinton stops 05/19, mystery.
My fat ass is in with #943. Beer hydration is in full effect at the moment and has been very strong all week. Training has been absent, but hey, it’s a taper. The swim better freaking be wetsuit legal. I will be pimping a Steve Fleck special mack-daddy Nineteen wetsuit. I don’t care how hot it is, I want it to swim for me. If I sweat a lot, no big deal, I need to lose 30 lbs to get down to Atasic’s range anyway. In fact, I’m looking forward to losing a TON of weight on Sunday just so Sunday night and all next week I can ratchet the wings / booze consumption to frat party levels. There is a 100% chance I will be NOWHERE near a PR, so I’m just going to hold back on the effort and try to embrace the pain.
As of the 11am athletes briefing the water temp. is 81 degrees.

I knew that one was coming. I did confirm the same with RD.
My buddy Onetimepad will not have trouble floating as he will benefit from excess beer and wings consumption. Everyone cycling behind him, better watch it, his plan is to suffocate much of his competition.
So how many people in the crowd went “oh crap” when they realized no wetsuit?

I want to party with you! Anyone who embraces the beer taper is good people. Will look for you out there. Unless you’re one of sandbaggers who claim they’re undertrained and then go knock it out of the park. 
I’ll be the one in the ruby slippers.
Love,
Dorothy

Nope, I can vouch, he is all substance no bull. He really does it, but his race performances usually go beyond his fitness level. He knows how to race.
See y’all out there!
Yeah WTF how did it come up that much
