Veteran 152 | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread MelissaE - 2010-04-06 1:16 PM Great. I aged up this year, so I start at 8:34. 148 in my swim wave. So basically some of the Pro men will be crossing the finish line before I even start swimming. The older I get, the slower I get and the later I start. I've either got to get younger or faster, LOL. What's this practice swim someone mentioned? Is it something official that the race holds? Or a BT practice swim? ditto on the practice swim |

Champion 7704 Williamston, Michigan | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread RE: swim practice. They put the buoys out a few days before the race. Typically BTers plan a time to meet and do a practice swim together. There are usually several groups. ITs not a formal thing and people are welcome to go swim at anytime. Lots of people in the water. |

Veteran 152 | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread coming from Indiana, it has been a few months since I had opportunity to do OW so I will def give it a go on Sat morning. maybe do the whole course 4 or 5 times just to make sure that I don't get lost on race day and end up out in the Gulf somewhere  |

For me anyway there are always plenty of people to follow. You look uber fast tho. maybe do the whole course 4 or 5 times just to make sure that I don't get lost on race day and end up out in the Gulf somewhere |

Regular 244 Jupiter, FL | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread although i grew up in that area, don't live there now. just trying to get a feel for the swim course... while the course looks to be an out-over-and back it doesn't look square. anyone know about how long each of the legs is? does it go to the end of the pier or farther? i've heard not quite that far, but then when i try to lay it out on google eart, i can't get it to fit 1500m. just curious about how far to go before turning. |

Veteran 306 | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread ScottUF - the first leg usually goes to almost to the end of the pier, then after turning left, you swim a bit northeast (as opposed to dead north), then you angle a little southwest for the leg back. They make it fit |

Veteran 148 | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread Im a newbie as well, this will actually be my second St. A's, the first was in 1989 as I went to cheer on my dad's relay team. One guy was a no show so I was roped into biking. I havent done a race since then, I ve been working for almost a year to do a Sprint but the opportunity came up where I could get into this one. Since I swim( I use the term loosley) late, I plan on watching some of the pro's in T1. If you swim over an older dude doing the back stroke, dont worry, I can hold my breath pretty good. Good luck to everyone, be safe. |

Can you actually sleep the night before the race??? Not much...at least I don't. I'm with you regarding the nerves. I haven't raced since St. Anthony's two years ago and am feeling the butterflies when I think about it. But that's not a bad thing. In spite of those nerves I'm really looking forward to the race. When I finished last time I promised I'd be back, I just didn't expect it would take two years! I feel good about my preparation for the bike and the swim, but I'm not anywhere near where I should be for the run. My motto....just get to the finish line! |
