Expert 1148 Santa Fe, New Mexico Silver member | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread The BT group swim wednesday morning was great. There were six of us and we pretty much did one loop of the swim course together. Saw two baby sting rays, a few jelly fish and huge schools of tiny fish that flashed in the sun when they turned. The bouy anchors are out. Tiny white buoys about the size of your head. We found a bunch of them. |

Member 22 Dallas | Subject: Suggestions I will be one of those people trying to sign up this weekend, online, for the race in 2014. Does anyone have any tips to better my chances of actually getting a spot? It sounds like it sells out in no time. Unfortunately I couldn't make it down there to volunteer, but hopefully will be able to get registered online. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, TK Edited by tkolesza 2013-10-30 4:36 PM |

Expert 1130 Fernandina Beach, FL | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Sorry I missed everybody at the swim this morning. I don't know why but I wasn't expecting to see as many people on the beach as I did. Just hopped in for a short solo (if you can call it that) swim. Hope everybody enjoyed themselves the water is beautiful! |

Expert 1148 Santa Fe, New Mexico Silver member | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread 12:00 Lizas Kitchen, 7008 Thomas Drive, PCB-very casual come when you can, lots of seating and often folks come and go I'm going to the 11:00 athletes meeting. Then lunch. Kathy said it's a real informal place and it's no problem if we're a little late. Everyone is welcome. Water was a little bouncy this morning. |

Member 20 Rowlett, TX (Dallas area) | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Whew that water was rough today! I really hope it calms down on Saturday or I may have to adjust my estimated swim time. I came to meet up with the group but couldn't figure out where y'all were. If the weather isn't terrible tomorrow, I'll head out to practice again. Any more detailed directions on how to meet the group? Or would someone that plans to swim tomorrow want to PM me with their number so I can contact you if I can't find you again? |

Hope everybody enjoyed themselves the water is beautiful! Same thing happened to me, I wasn't about to walk around to all the groups asking if it was the BT group. I think I'm going with the sleeveless, I felt like I was over heating in the full sleeve, anyone else feel the current going out? It felt like it was much harder swimming back in. |

Pro 5123 Canandaigua NY | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Decided to skip the swim this morning as I didn't sleep well and swimming in the weather we were having this morning would do nothing but mess with my head. It was good to see everyone that made it to the swim yesterday, hopefully we will run into each other again over the next day and on the course tomorrow! Good luck to all racers this weekend, it is going to be a blast!! |
