Enka Triathlon at Biltmore Lake

06/15/2016

To answer the most popular question of the day - Yes, we are swimming Saturday at Biltmore Lake. The water is down below normal but there is plenty of water to swim. The temperature at 8 am this morning from the shore was 78 degrees and we expect it to be a little cooler farther out and deeper so bring your wetsuits just in case. Race information will be going out by email tomorrow morning so watch for that. We are looking forward to a great race. See you there.

Water temperature at Biltmore Lake this morning (Tuesday) was 79 degrees off the dock. Probably 77 or 78 in the middle. If you are racing Saturday come prepared for everything as temperatures can change quickly.

Well-run Enka Triathlon keeps athletes coming back

Online registration has closed for Saturday's Enka Triathlon at Biltmore Lake but we will happily accept registrations on Friday, 4-7 pm and Saturday, 6:00-7:30 am at the lake. The field is much larger than last year and we are expecting a great race.

Water temperature update: As of 7:30 this morning (Tuesday), the temperature off the dock was 77 degrees. It is probably a couple of degrees cooler in the middle of the lake where the official reading will be taken Saturday, but it is not looking good for wetsuits on race day. The forecast is for hot weather all this week but that also brings thunderstorms that can cool the water. In summary, don't expect to wear it but bring it just in case.

The water temperature at Biltmore Lake this afternoon was 78 degrees. The good news is that it was taken during the warm part of the day in shallow water. We will take the official temperature at 7 am Saturday in the deeper waters. The USAT limit is 78 but you can still wear a wetsuit up to 83 degrees except you won't be eligible for awards or USAT points. Remember, the last day to enter online is Thursday at 8 am but we will be accepting walkup entries on Friday and Saturday.
