Wetsuit Info!
If you have a wetsuit, we suggest you bring it! We have been wetsuit legal 6 OUT OF THE LAST 10 YEARS. The water temp will be very close on race morning and due to the size of the body of water it can change quickly. The official water temp will be taken race morning at 5:00am and posted and announced in transition.
With regards to wearing wetsuits, we follow the guidelines outlined by our sanctioning body, USA Triathlon. These guidelines state that if the water temperature is 78 degrees Farenheit or lower, all competitors may wear wetsuits; if water temperature is between 78.1 degrees Fahrenheit and 83.9 degrees Farenheit, competitors may wear a wetsuit with penalty; and if water temperature is 84 degrees Fahrenheit or above, competitors may not wear a wetsuit.
