I am going to be such a fashion DON'T on Sunday.

The forecast is for a low of 39 and a high of 62 with a 30% chance of rain.

I am going to wear the DeSoto tri knickers with a Zoot top as my base layer. I have a sleeveless wetsuit, the water temp two weeks ago was 66. I think I'm going to be cold on the swim. Hopefully I'll warm up a bit.

I'm planning on throwing on my long sleeve Ground Effect wool jersey and a cycling cap under my helmet before the bike start. The bike portion does start with a pretty intense 6 mile 1,000 foot climb, but at 7:15 I'm expecting it to still be pretty cold. The wool jersey has a super long zipper so if I'm overheating I'll have some hope of ventilation. It also has a wind blocker front which I think will be good for the downhills.

I think I'm going to stage two different shirts, a short sleeve and a long sleeve at T2. I know I will probably not want to run in that wool jersey.

It has never been this cold this late in May. Okay, maybe it has, but typically we're seeing days in the 80s by now. I do so much better when it's hot. I really, really, really hate being cold.

It should make for a pleasant run though.
