Hello everyone! 

You all have been so helpful with preparing me for my first triathlon and now it is almost here--next Sunday, August 16.  I am having pre-race gitters a bit and was wondering if there is anything special I should or should not do the week before the race.  Also, I was wondering if any of you will be out there doing the race too?  Thanks for all the support and I will definitely update about how it goes!!!!!!!  I am hoping for NO RAIN, but we will see!Smile

I have done that race, three yrs in a row now (or was it 4?) anyhow. Not doing it this year. Fallen completely out of shape (rode my bike once this year).

Anyhow, good race. Have fun. New run course this year, all the way around the lake, not an out and back. (also a bit longer).

Do the bike drop off on Sat. and before you do Ride the course if you have not yet.

Just relax and have fun.

Thanks for the advice.  I have done the bike course and the run twice, so I feel pretty confident in that aspect of it!!!

All the best for next Sunday Corrie...
I'm doing it also, my 3rd and last tri of the season.
I ran the course this Saturday morning in all that rain
and just loved it. I don't like it too hot!!

I was planning on doing this tri as well but think I'm going to opt just for the 1.5 mile Open Water Swim.  Good Luck....I'm sure you'll do just fine! 

Oh...and don't forget to have fun out there!

Dang, I forgot about that Kristen.  I might have to join you, given my current condition :->

Bump....

Just a couple days away.  I haven't registered yet for the OWS, but am still leaning towards doing it.  Anyone else out there in it just for the OWS?  I'll probably register today.

I am getting nervous!!!!!! But also I am very excited.  My sister and I are both doing it for the first time, and she lives in Atlanta, so not only do we get to experience this together, but we get to get some time together too!!!!!!

I hope it went well for everyone! My good friend was doing it and I was going to go watch him, but my wife needed help this morning and I missed it.

I hope you'all had a great race!

Glad you had such a good time!  It certainly turned out to be a nice morning for a race!  And I hope I wasn't mean to you turning into T2....I had to make it extra clear to a few people that they had to do 2 laps...not 1.

So...when is your next race?

I did not notice anyone being mean at all.  Everyone was so helpful and nice.  It was a wonderful atmosphere.  I think I will do the one at Belle Isle in October, but have to get the information on that one!
