Hey STers, it seems we are one day from the start of T100 Singapore for the men.
From what I see where I live in Canada there will be a youtube livestream here:
men Sunday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyxI6jDPASI
If there are other streams (ex Outside and Eurosport) can you guys put them down?
We can start fresh comments for the men’s race here after the women’s race is done. This way each gender gets their own focus.
I’ll go with Keulen/Noodt/Heemeryck
.
Ditlev is out with a broken wrist 
Apparently he high-fived Lionel on the goal line in Oceanside…
Aaron Royle was in the Youtube comments for the women’s race and he said that there’s a chance the swim gets cancelled for the men. Keeping my fingers crossed because there’s some good firepower in the swim tomorrow with Josh dropping in for Javi.
What is the reason for the men’s swim potential cancellation? Is it water quality? Lionel is probably on a concord to make start line.
I believe I heard the announcers say in the womens race that it could be high temps that can cancel the swim. Which is silly, but apparently they have some arbitrary upper temp that cancels the swim…All the really have to do is let them swim without a cap, there’s 4 or 5 degrees right there…

I’m going to guess temperature. The water temp for the ladies’ race was 30.9C, and during the week there were a few days where the water was 31.5C

That is almost 90F water, but is the water in Singapore not always pretty well in that range. It is right on the equator so they have endless summer in the Singapore sauna !

31C - 32C = reduce to 750m. Above 32C = cancel swim. Men start one hour later in the day.
I have a 200km later today (1400 SGT - dark) so hope it’s a good race: keep the spoilers to this thread!.

Sam Long could be the big beneficiary especially for season long results should the swim be cancelled. Any news on which way the water temp is going?

Wasn’t the water bad last year? I vaguely remember a bunch of folks getting sick.
The water got blamed originally, but in reality it sure seems like everyone just got a bug from Mika Noodt.

Well considering the water temp for the women conveniently measured 30.9, when 31.0 would have led to course changes, I’m guessing it’s trending toward getting the result the organizers want.
Thunderstorms scattered all over the island currently. Given that lightening within 13km of any part of the course was the “red line” during the women’s race, wondering if the start gets delayed or the race cancelled :(.

It magically settled at 30.9 again today. Who woulda thunk it? Hehe
Lot of red lights blinking in the front pack.
Using raceranger is senseless without referees giving penalties. Drafting like crazy.

Only person keeping a decent gap is Ali, the rest look proper close

This is an absolute draft fest. Also why is the tracker broken?

But West’s rear ranger unit was blinking red and Ali was just sitting there…
Major draft fest, bit of a joke really…
