Master 2314 Gulf Shores, AL | Subject: RE: TriAmerica LA Northshore race They did a race there in 2004. It didn't get much of a turnout. The race was well run but the expo and post race were nothing like they promised. I am intrigued by the long distance race but my schedule is jammed around that time. |

| Veteran 354 | Subject: RE: TriAmerica LA Northshore race I was planning on doing the gulf coast 70.3 but I dont think I will have the training under my belt to do it......so I am going to try and do this one because it is the distance between an olympic and a half. |

Otherwise im feeling great about it coming up getting excited..heck im excited for all newbies..good luck to you all. I joined the pac to get my swim training in. I had planned to do the beginner tri in Sulpher but got my weekends confused and was out of town. then I wanted to do the sprint up in Ruston but had a wedding in Baton Rouge that day. But I have signed up for this one and am going to go through with it. I thought I was going to miss it because i was having some stomach problems 2 weeks ago and I thought it was going to be a gall bladder issue. It sidetracked my training but hopefully i can get through the tiny 200m swim. Biking and running i think I will be ok. I've been running some 5ks since february and done a few long bike rides but the swimming still has me worried. Anyways good luck! |

What is the temp of the ponchatrain right now? Current water temperature per this website is 76°F, which makes it wetsuit legal. Whether or not you need one is up to you, but that's not that cold. I did a 500M swim yesterday in 75°F water, and it was actually very nice once you got used to it. Only one person out of a hundred wore a wetsuit. |

Veteran 192 Arlington, VA | Subject: RE: TriAmerica LA Northshore race Me and the wife are in for Saturday. It's a good excuse to eat fat after. Staying in the quarter Saturday night, so probably won't be racing Sunday. I have never done a super sprint, it will be interesting to see if I decide to drop anything (equipment-wise) from a normal sprint or oly. Suggestions welcome. |

I do without gloves, sunglasses and socks for most sprints, but I would do so only if I've tried it successfully in training. Some of the fast guys I race against also leave their clipless pedals off in favor of toe clips. Put on your running shoes in T1 and you have one less shoe change to make. |
