Just had to share: Last nite went to a local lake that I swim in occassionally. Smaller lake, 730 yards from one end to the other (GPS is great). As I was getting ready to go, a local Tri-guy was finishing his swim. I noticed that he was wearing a wet suit. Water temperature was about 81 degrees! I say," isn't it a little warm for a wet suit?" (I would be smothering), he says "Well, there are a couple of cold patches out there!" (probably gets down all the way to 80 degrees for 30 seconds) LOL.

It looks like it did not happen on Toro Canyon but on Goberador Canyon road. The problem apparently had to do with discarded water bottles and the heavily shaded area. Having ridden that road hundreds of times I can attest to the fact that the lighting provides serious challenges at times. I can't imagine it with empty water bottles strewn across the road.

One thing I can't stand about triathletes--and I am one--is their propensity to litter. Gel packs, water bottles, bar wrappers strewn everywhere. I keep a jersey pocket dedicated to trash and never, ever discard water bottles except at the specified water bottle exchange areas.
(Of course, sometime bottle fall out accidentally, especially with those bottle holders that go behind the seat because common sense dictates less drag if you put them there, although real-world testing shows they're actually worse, but that's a different story.)
