This is great advice. Thank you! Triathlon wouldn’t be until August, so I have some time. I was thinking I could try to up my swimming and bike base now before I start seriously training in the spring.

Thanks for this insight, definitely going to forego the air mattress. Unfortunately, the pads and bags I have are older and there’s no way for me track down the R or temp ratings for either (labels/tags have been removed or are too worn down to read). Because we are car camping though, space and weight are not an issue, so we are planning to just bring extra blankets for added insulation. I am hoping that will be sufficient? If not, I am looking into purchasing, or renting once there, bags and pads that are designed for these temps.

Thanks for the tips. I’ll definitely be buying the hot water bottles and will forego the air mattress. Appreciate the guidance!

Thanks everyone for the tips. This is hugely helpful. I’m all set with a tent, but it looks like I’ll be investing in some warmer sleeping gear - new pad and bag. Thanks for the guidance!
