Another death happened in the swimming portion of triathlon yesterday.
The day before, Ironman Will Proceed After Hudson River Is Declared Safe
Now Hudson River swimmer dies during Ironman race
I think the temperature was too high for triathlon.
Thanks for all the posts - particulary Ann Lea. I'm a small framed man (5'8") and 155 lbs and in good shape (I run a 10k each morning and bike each night) and OW swim twice a week (but I am also 51 yrs old). I'm running my first triathalon in San Diego in a couple of weeks (run marathons etc. before), but figured I better research a bit the dangers associated with three separate workouts in a race -- particularly as related to swimming.
