sorry to hear about the rain. bring a bag in case the ground is wet. some people cover the bike seat up but you are wet from the swim so it does not matter. you might want to bring long sleeve to throw on for the bike. i know when i did mine in the rain my hands were so cold. be careful riding. don't worry about time just do it. if you like to run with socks than make sure you have a spar so you can put on after the bike ride. do you know what the water temp. is. there is cut off for safety on what they will allow a swim to go. hope you get the swim in but be ready to run ride run. like i said done a few like that. you are all set to swim and bang they cancel it. good luck

I love to walk and hike so I'm leaning toward the treadmill.

Thanks!

So, my MRI shows I have a CAM Impingement..(if you knew what that was without Goggle, you are way more informed than me)

I am going for a Shot on Thursday that may help relieve the inflammation. Im going to try to get "aligned" by a friend of mine who is a chiropractor. My same leg had shin issues last year so my orthopedic doctor said, "I have no opinion either way on that" (which to me means, Im a doctor and chiropractors arent..lol..as I said, he is also a friend of ours).

However, if none of these work, I have to get my "ball and joint" in my hip rounded..Im sure there is a more medical term but that's kind of the way I understood it. yeahhh..NOT

new weather report says 80% chance of rain.ughhh

I actually have a bucket Im bringing to sit on and keep my stuff dry..

should be interesting..

Good luck with the race. keeping fingers cross it does not rain. they could also take the swim out and do a run bike run if the weather is bad. hint if it is raining put all your stuff in a bag with the bike so when you come out your shoes will not be wet. i did a race once in the rain and everything was in a bag. It helped. kept a change of clothes in the car and changed in between the doors with friends holding up my towel.

don't do a open water swim the day before better to go out and do a 20 minute run early in the morning than rest.
