breaker Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Does anybody know what the climbing is like for the short 12km MTB of this event?Couldn't find anything on the site.Also, what are the chances of needing a wetsuit on the day, I've entered but don't have a wetsuit, also considering that mid day its supposed to be 32c I hope I wont need one.
@ndy Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I heard somewhere they will announce the water temperature today. I imagine not many people will use wetsuits unless the water is cold enough for them to be compulsory (very unlikely) its not simply worth it for the length of time in the water. I asked about the route for the short MTB yesterday at registration and they couldn't tell me anything other than its going to be hot. I;m taking my girlfriend on what will be her first triathlon and having never even entered an MTB race before so I was hoping to be able to give her more information . But we are in it now so we take it as it comes.

He said there will be lots of dust and lots of climbing but couldn't tell me how much.
