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.  The Past couple years we have been between 75-77 degrees.
