Member 155 N Y C | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread DJ80227 - 2010-07-13 3:42 PM I know there is a risk of them being stolen. Really? Would you ever consider stealing someones old running shoes, ever, let alone during a race?? |

| New user 4 | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread Thanks and good news. I "aged up" so I have an early wave (likely a little after 6 AM). Past two years I have been in the red transition area and I rember my feet bothering my on that shorter run. Current will be stronger later but I will take the earlier start instead of sitting for 2 hrs any day of the week. The pros have typically been done before I have even been in the water. |

| New user 4 | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread I am coming from CO - I just assumed there is risk. Although this being my 3rd year doing the race I should know that there are a lot of people in the area so the chances are slim. If someone is that needy that they want to take my shoes with all those people around - they likely need them a lot more than I do for my 1/4 run.  |

Member 155 N Y C | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread It's my 3rd yr doing this race as well...I'm going to try to catch a cab to T1 after the swim : ). I age up out of M40-44 next year - too bad, I love the 6am-ish start. |

Member 33 | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread i wasn't planning on having shoes at the end of the swim to get to yellow... is that okay? what time do you all plan on getting there in the morning? will you go set up your gear in transition in the morning? or do it when you drop off your bike the night before? i figure i will set up gear in morning... but if i plan to get there at 5? transition closes at 5:45.. just curious what time everyone else is planning to show up? |

Champion 7821  Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread I'll probably get there as soon as transition opens and set up then. I like the pre-race atmosphere and I don't mind hanging around before the race. The RD always asks people not to leave shoes outside the swim exit, and always threatens to move them or throw them away if they start getting in the way. I've run the to the Yellow transition area (which is further away) barefoot and it's no big deal. It's asphalt and they'll sweep it clear of gravel or glass or whatever. I don't think it'd be worth the hassle to leave shoes by the exit. Edited by jmk-brooklyn 2010-07-13 8:54 PM |

I will set up my gear in the morning.. squirrels like our nutrition.. 5ish i think is pretty good.. it takes about 20 mins to set up.. and another 20 to get over to swim start.. and bang - time to go ! |

'Just hope the weather, sea vermin, logistics and all cooperate. |

Member 122 Kinnelon, NJ | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread AHHH! A few more days! My anxiety is slowly turning into excitement. I'm sure it'll switch back over to anxiety as soon as I start sucking wind during the swim! This is my 4th tri and first time racing the NYC. This is going to be an experience I'll never forget. |

Maybe they've gotten an email from a desperate athlete whose accomodations fell through at the last minute. |

Member 155 N Y C | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread piperfl - 2010-07-14 5:23 PM Craigslist? As much as I love Craigslist - you have to be very careful. If you find someone, make sure the hotel charges them and not you. If they can't change it, I think Paypal may be the safest option to get paid. Do not accept checks, money orders, etc. Unfortunately, the scams that are being pulled on Craigslist get better and better. You may be better off eating the charges rather than risking additional problems thru a scam. Good Luck. |

New user 91 NYC | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread I am not racing this year, but am volunteering at the bike in/out and want to wish everyone competing a good race. With the guaranteed spot from volunteering, and a lot of training, I'll hopefully be out there with you all next year. |

| 74 | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread Transistion is set up and the swim start and exit are in the water. The swim looks really long and so does the exit to yellow transition!! I didn't see any jelly fish but the water was pretty murky and I couldn't see anything except some garbage on the surface of the water. yuck! Let's hope all goes well the next few days and we have a good race on Sunday! |

Expert 692 Boca Raton, FL | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread Anyone know where I can go to get a short swim in on Saturday? I am staying on the upper west side. its not the end of the world if i cant but i really like to get wet the day befroe a race |

| 74 | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread There is a pool at the JCC on Amsterdam and 75th. They may allow you to buy a day pass. other option is the Equinox at 59th st/ Columbus Circle but they may be harder to get into. Lastly there is a Reebok gym on 67th and columbus, apparantly they have a wonderful pool but is the most expensive of the 3 I mentioned. good luck! |

Champion 4942 Richmond, VA | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread piperfl - 2010-07-15 4:25 PM Anyone know where I can go to get a short swim in on Saturday? I am staying on the upper west side. its not the end of the world if i cant but i really like to get wet the day befroe a race New York Health and Raquet Club (NYHRC) on 57th St. (between Park and Lexington) has a 25 yard pool on the roof of the building. (I used to work at 59th and Park) I've never used the pool, but they may have a day rate and it is a short cab ride through the park. (I'd call first to insure). Otherwise, go to SBR and tell them you want to try a new wetsuit. Use their swim machine. :-) (but that may not work at they seem to be following this thread) Also, if you are staying at a hotel, talk to the concierage, they should be able to get you in to a pool somewhere. Worst case scenario, go jump in the Hudson. |

Regular 89 New York | Subject: RE: Nautica New York City Triathlon : Official Thread You could also check out the Y on West 63rd . I think they have day passes. Its a 25 yd pool that is kept well. |
