How cold is Oceanside swim and bike?
I am not a total wimp but since vaca time and $$$ are limited I gotta enjoy the race.
Can’t go to Wild flower due to conflict next year.
water is typically 57-60. Air temp is usually in the low 50’s in the AM with warming as the morning gets later. I’ve done this race the last 3 years. I wore arm warmers once, the other times I was ok with just a tri top and short. Yeah, it was cold up until about mile 25 on the bike, but once you get away from the coast and hit the first climb you’ll warm up quick.
It was much colder back in 2006 (the 40’s and rainy), but that was a bit of an outlier. All that said, late March in San Diego is pretty hard to predict.
