OK I am lying, I have it right here! I just though it would be nice to start this thread off early so we can all get a jump on the 2009 griping and complaining!
:chug:
speaking of the jan-feb issue;
i think the letter by bart selby is so off the mark..... "wetsuits mandatory in water below 66 degrees"........ put a sweater on buddy and stick to terra firma.
I haven't read this letter yet so I'm not sure what the context is, but 66 degrees is not when I've seen wetsuits become mandatory for an event. Coeur d'Alene Lake was quite cold (high 40's) a few weeks before Ironman Coeur d'Alene last summer, so the race organizers announced that wetsuits would be mandatory if the lake temp was below 60 on race day. The lake temp shot up in the last few days before the race, all the way to 59 degrees on race morning so we all swam in wetsuits.
