Water temperature and wetsuits at Shaver Lake Mile High Triathlon

Around September 12, Shaver Lake typically runs about 71°F at the surface (70 to 73°F across 2011 to 2020). Wetsuits were legal every year at this date.

A model estimate from the USGS lake temperature model (daily surface temperatures for US lakes), not a measurement. Wetsuit cutoffs are USA Triathlon age-group rules. The race's own water temperature reading on race morning decides.
