Yes, it is a 2-day commitment, basically.  If you don't rack on Saturday, you don't get to race on Sunday.  It's HUGE and it would be nightmare if they didn't require it this way.  Unfortunately, it was too much for me last year and I am not doing that one again.  I will be at Beaver Lake up the street the day before for my weekend race, but will be sending good vibes on Sunday to you ladies doing Danskin!

There is a lot of parking in the neighborhoods around Danskin on Sunday, especially if you get there early.  The shuttle they offered seemed to make it a lot more complicated and time consuming.  I carpooled last year, which helped.

I just got the email.  It's going by NUMBERS this time.  WHIT?  And it's in Bellevue.  Rachel, we should carpool.  Let me know what your number is. I honestly don't care what time I have to get there.

That's ok.  I have a punch saved, remember? LOL.  I will bring you a coffee and a scone if you'd like!?

Hey Gals- I will be there to support a friend who is totally new to triathlons. Is there somewhere specific that you will all be meeting before the race? It would be neat to meet some of you...for both my friend and I.

Nice job today, Lynne. Nick said that she went directly into aid...her eyes were rolling back into her head.

I thought it was just too crowded for me...THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP SWIMMING YESTERDAY. I was freaking out because there were so many people panicking all around me!

You did awesome Rachel!!!!  I don't know what you were worried about.  I'm trying to find out about the woman by asking Komo4 if they know anything.  There was a horrible bike crash in the tunnel too. Urgh.  Really, crowds?  Yes, I think.

I snagged them from the site Lyssa.  Right click baby   I am going to print them out myself.  They are bloody expensive! It's a PHOTOGRAPH for goodness sake. Isn't the $80 entry fee enough?  Pants!

 

I checked out yours and Rachel!  I like em
