Get ready Cambridge, Maryland! The 2009 Eagleman Ironman is this weekend, and the weather outlook isn't bad. Some of the best endurance athletes from around the world will descend on one of the most beautiful towns on Maryland's eastern shore. The Eagleman competition will be strong and the local weather for the Eagleman looks promising for mid-June. Race day holds a 30% chance of showers, but the temperature is looking to be just about 80°. Given that the area is normally fairly breezy, it could feel a little cooler.
The 2009 Eagleman Ironman kicks off on Sunday June 14, 2009 with a 1.2-mile swim. The Choptank River normally runs about 68-78°, which can be a little cold, so the event team is recommending wet suits. The 56-mile bike will take you through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. The winds in this area of Cambridge can get pretty high (as high as 30 MPH), although Sunday is looking calm. The race finishes with a 13.1-mile run on mainly open rural roads, which means no shade!
All-in-all, the Eagleman looks to have pretty favorable weather conditions this weekend with moderate temperatures. So get out there and enjoy the weather and the race.
The Faster Tomorrow Team will be on hand at the Eagleman Expo. The Team will be sharing all kinds of great information on nutrition for endurance races and showcasing our sports nutrition supplement, ARX.
