Orange County International Triathlon ROLL CALL

Who’s in? I’ll be there for my second. Missed an entire training weekend this past weekend due to stomach bug. The plus? I lost about 5lbs, so I’m below my target race weight!

It’s the only race I’ve already paid up, so will probably be my last race of the year. Did you like last year?

Yes, loved it. It’s only 20 minutes from home and a solid bike and run course.

I’m not racing this year but you guys have fun.

What’s the word on the water temp? Trying to pack light and not bring the wetsuit if I don’t need it.

Well, I don’t know, but last year, it was close to 80 and they still allowed wetsuits. I’m going to wear a DeSoto vest and just my tri shorts this year. I nearly overheated last year wearing the 5mm bibjohn under the vest. The weather has been warm here and will be HOT this week leading into the weekend, so I’d say expect 80 degree water again.

The water was warm last year.

Hey Jay
After the race, jump on your bike and do the bike course again…you’ll need the training for Mountain Man:)

i didn’t bring mine last year because all the talk was that the water was too warm. sure enough, they allowed them…so i was bummed that i gave up “free speed”. haha

i’d bring the suit just in case.

Not a bad idea Bob! I like your thinking! Did you do the pre-ride for MMM last weekend? Haven’t seen you or DocFuel reporting on it.

Yes, Doc and I rode together. Ian, missed a good ride. I’ll put up a report soon. It’s like they said, tough course. You will be fine with your compacts.
