Master 1362    Charlotte, NC |  Subject: What's wrong with you people????HEY! THERE'S A BIG RACE THIS WEEKEND!!!! Where's the flurry of posts? Where are the challenges, goals, and smack? By now we should have had tons of smackdown on here. Who's out for a PR? Who's out to beat your peers? WHERE'S THE BT LOVE???? Lots of us are in the midyear doldrums. I've lost a lot of "mo" from the spring. Everyone is probably getting revved up for later races and other lofty goals. But its race week! GET TO IT! As my hero would say "SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP!!!!" I have one goal! Cross the finish line before Jeff, Keith, Gygy, Kevin, Melissa, Heather, and Tommy (on the relay), ! (hint... I start 24 hours before them so I think its a lock... hehehe).... Hey I have to set a goal... I might as well be realistic!!!! Let the smackdown begin!!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!! |

Veteran 293 | Subject: RE: What's wrong with you people???? No smack here, heck I haven't even met most of you before so as far as my goals. Top half of the mens overall is realistic with a good race. Top third is possible with a great race and no penalties. This should put me somewhere right behind Eric!!!!  Not sure about the times since I know nothing about the course. See everybody this weekend. |

Expert 957 Charlotte, NC | Subject: RE: What's wrong with you people???? Ok, I've got nothing to lose--I'll be the first to commit to a number. 1:38:00 That's only 5 minutes faster than I completed Cane Creek, but it includes 3 add'l miles on the bike. I'll take it a step further Swim-14:00 Bike-51:00 Run-29:00 TA's-4:00 Wade--from your logs, you should be right there with me or even ahead. I think you can do around 20mph on the bike. That's my goal speed.

Be sure to watch me very closely because I secretly attach a tow line to faster guys like Tommy. CHEATER!!!! Plus the OSU jersey is my cycling jersey... not my tri-top. And I need to get a new cylcing jersey, btw to add some variety. 1-Foot... you really need to watch the Clysdesdales. Eric is the only one that will actually look like a horse (the rear part) so he's easy to spot. |

You mean you like swimming in giant S curves, too? I did 1:28:50 last year. I'd like to see if I could do that again this year. Faster would be better, but frankly I think I'll be hard pressed to go any faster than that at this point. My logs showed a 15:29 swim, a 45:35 bike and a 23:22 run with about 5 min of transition. I don't see myself taking much, if any, time off of those. I'd like to see some shorter transitions though. Edited by tzmitch 2007-06-12 10:47 AM |

| Veteran 141 Greensboro, North Carolina | Subject: RE: What's wrong with you people???? The last time I did this race back in 2004 I finished in 1:32. That included a 22:23 run and that running ability has since left me. Still my goal is to break 1:30 |

Veteran 307 Charlotte | Subject: RE: What's wrong with you people???? I was wondering the same thing Rob!! Glad to see you've generated a little excitement! Personally, I just want to finish the race upright, on two legs. Okay, that's BS. I have this dream that I'll actually be able to run the whole three miles. But since we know THAT's not going to happen -- I'm really just racing to see how I can do on the swim and bike. I'll limp my way through the run and see what happens. The best I can hope for is: Swim 13:00 TA: 2:30 Bike: 52:00 (this might be a little agressive??) TA: 2:00 Run: 35:00 1:44:30 -- That's 1.5 min slower than last year.  (I had over 6 min in transition last year - ha! ha! ha!) (BTW - My pre-injury goal was sub 1:37:00.) |

| Extreme Veteran 438 | Subject: RE: What's wrong with you people???? Either of you OSU jersey guys happen to be out on the Lake Norman course last weekend? If so, I yelled at one of you during my ride last week As for my expectations, finishing the race will be a PR for me at Latta as it is my only DNF in my very short triathlon experience. It was my first OW swim ever and I freaked out and pulled myself out of the race. As for expectations: Swim: 18:00 (thats what I did this past weekend at the practice swim and seems reasonable) T1: 2:00 Bike: 52:00 T2: 1:00 Run: 27:00 So, overall 1:40 |

If that's the case then you yelled while I was trying to adjust my brakes on the side of the road and we ended up in the same pack for quite a while. That was a BT crowd (Jeff, Alice, Eric, Kevin and myself). Small world!!!! |

Veteran 242 | Subject: RE: What's wrong with you people???? BEAT ERIC's TIME!! I even get to know what I have to beat since I'm racing sunday. Looks like Kevin, Jeff and myself will be in the first wave. Swim<14:00 T1<2:30 Bike<55:00 T2<1:45 Run<24:00 = 1:37:15 I'd really love to break 1:30:00 but I think that's unlikely.

I saw you a few times on the course too, we were a foursome that rode behind you a bit and then traded on and off over the rest of the ride (we had a new cyclist with us). |

| Master 1362 Charlotte, NC | Subject: RE: What's wrong with you people???? We'll have to get the group together pre or post race for a BT photo! Any preference? Pre-race can be hectic, but post race, people scatter (Tommy will probably be home on his couch by the time I cross the finish line). |
