Express Ride Participant Guide
The participant guide for the Round Rock Express Ride is now published at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/51738597/RR-Express-Ride-Participant-guide-2011-for-website
Rookie Water Temperature
Unofficial water temperature at Lake Walter E. Long this morning was 68 degrees Fahrenheit. We are pretty confident that the swim will be wetsuit legal. However, at 68 degrees and only 300m, this swim certainly does not require a wetsuit, so no worries if you don't have one. Many participants may opt to go without a wetsuit since the swim is so short.
We'll take the official water temperature on Friday before the event.
