Just found out that the ITU triathlon world championships being held here today cancelled the swim due to cold air/water and risk of hypothermia. They just started them on the bike at 5 second intervals and turned the race into a duathlon instead.
Really? The Elite division are professional triathletes. This is the world championship race. They can't handle a little cold? WTF?
Yeah, it would be chilly - air was 45*F at start time and water was 55*F, with a little breeze...but c'mon! They are professionals!
OK, rant over.

You should've offered to be a rescue boat. You could've music entertainment as well, with motivational tunes.Originally posted by dingleberry View PostJust found out that the ITU triathlon world championships being held here today cancelled the swim due to cold air/water and risk of hypothermia.

I wouldn't mind doing that, as long as the wind isn't blowing too much. But I think they would not allow the music blasting, because it would make it too hard to hear any calls for help from the swimmers.Originally posted by skippabcool View PostYou should've offered to be a rescue boat.

Last year there were about 3 MC's on the swim course for the Silverman, along with tons on canoes.
