New England Season Opener : Official Thread (Page 4)

So how was it??????

Fun!

Great to see old friends and meet some new BTer! 

Beautiful day out there today!  Weather couldn't have been more perfect!  Good to meet new folks. 

What a day, today. I survived, love those hills, um I loved them twice. 

Thanks all for being so welcoming and making a great day even better.

THanks!

The weather was great! Nice to meet some new BT people. And, of course, good to see the regulars too. Looking forward to a few more sessions before Season Opener!

OFFICIALLY registered as a NEWBIE. This makes it seem so scary...

Good Job!

Congrats on taking the plunge, officially. Newbie is a good choice for 1st time out.

Hey there dointris.  I'm not sure how you have BT configured but I am getting up to 3 & 4 emails everytime you post to the message board.  Please see if you can reconfigure how you send out your posts.

Thanks in advance

I cleaned up the multiple posts.

Sorry John, I can't do the same for your inbox! 

YAY!!!!!! Once you do one..then your addicted!

I just signed up for this one as well! Also in the Newbie wave!

Getting a little nervous as it's getting closer and I still don't have a bike yet...though I've been riding a lot at the gym. But my wetsuit comes this week!

Spoke to Tim Richmond today..if you havent registered DO SO TODAY.... Only 50 slots left. You dont want to miss the fun!!!!

Any newbies doing the OWS clinic on May 5th before the race?

The wife and I officially signed up today. Im in the Clydes and shes in her age group. its her first race so i encouraged her to do the newbie division but she never listens to me.

I may do the newby on May 5th.
Thoughts?

I suggest either doing the clinic and/or finding out from someone else how to approach the OWS. It isn't hard, it's just easier if you have some tips and strategies. Such as how to start the swim, sighting the buoys and so on. What to do if you overdo it and need a rest (roll over onto your back and float), what to do before you exit the water so you can run (kick a little more so that blood gets into your legs)... little things like that which will help you enjoy the race more.

If you come to the swims we'll be doing at Hopkinton State Park in April just ask anyone and you'll get a good array of opinions - just choose what is best for you.

thanks! Swimming in april sounds like a good time.

Anyone up for a swim, bike or run... note my knee and piriformis ache so running is tough. other 2 okay. I'm free all week.

Note Im on facebook more than this site so if u can send me a message post it on season opener website. i check both.
