Initial Weather Report

Accu-Weather has delivered the initial weather forecast for Tri for Our Veterans on May 23, 2009. Good news! The long term forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 80 degrees. Because we start the race at 730 AM, we will not hit those warm temperatures-- I would suspect we enjoy a cool 65 degree start.

As for the water temperature, it is hitting 55 degrees. With warm weather here to stay, it can jump a degree per day and I suspect we will have 60-63 degree water temperature.

Other race news:

*Transition Area: Racers will find a different transition area in Sea Isle this year-- The City has sodded the entire lot.

*USCG on hand: The Coast Guard will have a team in the race (Go Team Semper Paratus!) and have helped coordinate back up to our SIC Beach Patrol. The USCG will have a boat near the race course and a helicopter overhead.d

*Finish line experience: At the finish this year, we will have children handing out American flags right before the finish line to celebrate Memorial Day. If you would like your children to participate, have them report to the finish line area at the start of the race.

14 days to go!
