Well that sucks! I'm impressed that you've got an outdoor tri in March in Vancouver anyways! I'd advise coming up with a way to keep your clothes DRY in transition--I find I can handle most temps as long as I'm dry. When is the swim portion--is it last? That would be OK. I just can't imagine coming out of the pool and running through the snow to transition! Stay warm and dry, ride more slowly if the roads are wet--and write us up the report!
Best wishes,
Lise

Oh oh!
Thanks ladies!
Just to clarify: there's certainly not going to be snow on the ground, nor will the temperature be below freezing level. It was mostly sunny or only cloudy for the past years at this triathlon. Weather in March in Vancouver is very often sunny in the 15 C range. This is not Montreal or Toronto!!!
We're just going through a stretch of a few days of cold rain so it may be an issue on Saturday.
I will indeed try to keep my clothes dry in there. Should I take a rain coat? The swim is at the beginning, so we have to run out of the (indoor) pool and to T1. There's a change tent in between, I will probably take an extra minute to dry myself and change to dry shorts (instead of keeping tri shorts on) if it's really cold and wet out there.
Brrr!
I WILL be bragging, don't you worry!
