3-hour race info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM-hodoGDGA (Note * This video is about our 5 hour race in 2019 but is essentially the same, just 2 hours shorter.) (There will not be a 3-hour race in 2022)
What will the water temperature be? We will not know until race morning but most likely will wetsuit legal. I will try to get the temperature the day before and email participants. Late October races are usually wetsuit legal but there is always a chance for warmer temps leading up to the race pushing the water temp above the wetsuit legal temp.
