Seeker911 Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I quote "No wetsuits, speed suits, fins, aqua socks, gloves, paddles or floatation devices of any kind allowed." Now this is my kind of race. Hard core. http://www.lagunaphu...hlon-rules.html oh I forgot "crawling is allowed" Edited December 12, 2011 by Seeker911
Lava girl Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Why bother to enter and waste your money then?
gummibear Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) We should close this thread now.See you on Orient beach 22 Jan. Look out for the steel bike with the gear shifters down on the frame just above the water bottle. It will be the only bike left on the bike racks by the time I get to it No it won't be Edited December 16, 2011 by gummibear

But first you need to admit / confront the real problem instead of blaming the (absence) of wetsuits. Anyway I reacon its a safe bet that Orient beech will be cold enough to allow wetsuits?

Garfield2010 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Garfield, we dont want to see you like that. You riding on Sat again? Yes sir! 05h30 same venue. We are doing one lap (45km) and then 10km run and a swim at Heie Safari afterwards and then breakfast. Apparently the Hippo is gone.......... whatever that means.
SwissVan Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I dare all the real IM to show up in EL for the 70.3 in Borat's swimming suit..... WTFlip! Thought u had enuff of this argument BTW whats the water temp expected to be?
Garfield2010 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 WTFlip! Thought u had enuff of this argument BTW whats the water temp expected to be? Not sure but it should not be above 15 degrees = ****** koud
SwissVan Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Brrr i can just feel those first few moments when the cold water seeps in.Pity your not allowed to wear booties... Ok wetsuits guaranteed legal and everyone’s happy
gripen Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I sometimes train with swimming socks, they do make you a fair bit faster. So I'd say they would be a considerable advantage. I can't remember my feet being cold though. I think between 12-15 degrees is manageable, you get used to the cold after the first 5 mins or so. Main thing is to avoid getting a dull headache..!

Ok wetsuits guaranteed legal and everyone’s happy Will I be allowed to wear two wetsuits over one another if the temp is below 15?

Swimming socks shoul never be allowed. Real IM should in fact not be allowed to shave their legs.
