Subject: Disco Tri in Denton on 7/13 ???
Just curious as to who is going to do teh Disco Tri this year in Denton on 7-13?? This will be my first Tri and I hear last years was kind of messed up due to the fact that there was no swim?? For those who have done this Tri, would you recommend this as a 1st TRi for someone?? Thanks guys!

the swim wasn't Dallas Athletes fault, we had record rainfall last year and all of the lakes were 10,15 or even 20+ ft over the norm.  Unless a park had a special high water boat launch people couldnt' even go boating.   

I"ve only done a couple of dallas Athletes events but it seems to me that they are well run.. I have to check my schedule for that weekend but I want to do the oly this year.

I am planning on it. I did Old College by D.A. or whatever they call theirselves now and it was well run. This is my first time for Disco...should be a lot of fun.

I guess I need to register. EH?

It should be a fine race for your first one. Just be ready for the heat.

I'm in for the sprint.  Considering my lack of training over the last several months (until now) it might be ugly, but I've gotta get back out there.

There doesn't appear to be a swim cut-off.    I should be safe.

So for the people who have done thsi one before have you found that its easier to get a hotel up there instead of driving 50+ miles the morning of?? I live in Richardson and the thought of having to get up at 4 a.m. to drive 50 or 60 miles that early does not make me happy.....    : (

Welcome to triathlon, dude.

Sometimes getting a room is fun if the funds will allow it...getting up at 4am is sleeping in for a lot of us on race morning.

This is triathlon.  If it were easy they'd call it cycling.  Laughing  I get up every morning at 4 or 5 am to workout, so 4 am on race morning is normal for me.

I'm in for the Oly.

haha.. we're just razzin' ya', Boomer.. it has nothing to do with your avatar.  You'll soon learn to love to be up at the crack of stupid on race day, praying for a deuce and wondering if you missed any hair on your legs that will intermittently drive you nuts on the bike portion of the race.

I think Brian and I are in for the Oly.  I should probably inform him...sponsors are always the last to know.

 Oh, apparently we're in for the Oly.  And yes...sponsors are the last to know. 

I believe tomorrow is SIGN-UP DAY for:

Metroplex Tri (Grand Prairie, Tx) - Sprint (June 7&8)

Disco Tri (Valley View Tx) - Olympic (July 13)

Take on The Heat (The Colony, Tx) - Sprint (Aug. 17)

Tri the Rock (Rockwall, Tx) - Sprint (Aug 24)
