Water temperature and wetsuits at Millerton Madness Triathlon

Around August 22, Millerton Lake typically runs about 82°F at the surface (81 to 85°F across 2011 to 2020). The water usually runs above 78°F at this date: wetsuits are allowed but make you ineligible for age-group awards.

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.

How fast is it?

Slower than most US super sprint triathlons

The fastest quarter of the 2024 super sprint triathlon field finished under 52:51, against 51:16 in a typical US super sprint triathlon, so times here run 3 percent slower.

Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.

Typical race-day weather

Around August 22 the day usually runs from 69°F at dawn to 100°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 2% of days. Cold snaps dip to 64°F and hot years reach 106°F.

Based on 85 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
