New England Season Opener : Official Thread (Page 5)

Hi Cass,

It sounds like Mav has already started up, she posted something in the thread I started...56 degrees as of a few days ago, that's a solid 3-4 degrees warmer than this time last year so it's certainly warm enough if you're donning a wetsuit.  Have fun!  No Season Opener for me this year as I have a commitment that weekend but it was alot of fun last year.

Hi, Cass!  Maybe a ride and a swim on Sunday morn?  The water will still be pretty cold, but probably doable after warming up with a loop or more of the course.  Any interest?  It's not as hilly as the Webster Lake course, so I might be able to keep up with you on the bike if you're up for it.

Hi,
I would love to but will be at a swim clinic April 11 Sunday morning and an appt in the afternoon.
Anyone interested in next Saturday?  April 17? Let me know.

BTW - Is there a way to get emails or have this thread show up when I log in?

I'll probably be there on the 17th.

To get all Massachusetts posts, go to "Settings (top of screen) -> Forum Settings -> Mass Subscribe" and enable the check box for Massachusetts. Or, I think you can also toggle an individual thread on/off (scroll down to under the posts on this page).

I am interested in the swim clinic for April 17th, please kepe me posted.

Thanks - got it to work.

Hi,
The Tri New England swim clinic I mentioned is tomorrow Sunday April 11 in Providence. I was thinking about heading up to the season opener course Sat the 17. If you read something about an OWS clinic on the 17 let me know.

A few of us met at Hopkinton today and did the bike course and a quick swim.  Water was a less-than-balmy 53.6 degrees and pretty choppy, but it was good to get out there and see what it would be like on race day.

I am looking forward to getting out there too. Thanks for the water update. Brrr...

I'd love to join you folks on the 17th if that's ok. What time do you typically meet?

the 17th sounds great, Hopinkgton?

Looks like weather at the end of this week will kill the water temp at Hopkinton...

Yeah, I don't know about coming up on Saturday the 17th. Weather is supposed to colder & rainy...
I am going to play it by ear. Anyone planning on going this Sat at this point?

I am out due to injury. The water is cold but if you dont mind 50-55 with a wetsuit you will be fine swimming. I cant ride or run but if people want to swim then I am game!!!!!

ugh!  If you're up for a long swim a week from this Sunday, I'm game.  After about 10 minutes of cringing at the temp, I'm good to go long.

Sounds good to me

I am going to try and do a ride in the arlington hilly area, sunday,then maybe run.
Swim I am going to pass.

Hey guys, Im interested in volunteering at the NESO this year.  I want to be there to cheer on my fellow BTers! Does anyone know how I'd go about this or who I should contact?  Thanks!

talked to tim today:  ill see you all there!

any suggestions on where i should volunteer?  i was tempted to ask to be a wetsuit stripper, only bc it seemed like a great way to meet a nice girl.. =P

but seriously, are some spots better than others?

ill be at body marking and hope to meet most, if not all, of my BT friends!!

really looking forward to putting faces to logins!!

How's is Sunday looking like for Hopkinton? I think I am going to head up. Weather looks like it might cooperate even.

You in Mina, MAV?? Anyone else? 
Later morning might be warmer, but I am flexible. Got to give the full wetsuit a try. It is a cheapo but I love my cheapy shorty so hopefully the full will be okay.

I'm thinking of heading out this weekend.  Gotta get in there soon.
