Elite  2915    New City, New York |  Subject: Memorial Day W/E Plans?I know it's only Thursday but I'm getting out early tomorrow so I thought I'd get us going today. Besides the normal burgers and beers anyone have fun plans or specific training plans lined up? My first tri is June 12. I plan on riding and running the course this weekend. Nothing like doing 2/3 of the race beforehand. The luxury of my "home course" being 20 mins from my house. Otherwise it's fishing and boating w/ the kids (if sun decides to shine in NY). Anyone else care to share? Finally, might I suggest everyone pause for just a moment on Monday and remember those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Seems too many forget that's what this holiday is for. A safe and happy holiday to all, Mark |

Master 1249 Lexington, Kentucky | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? The local tri-club is putting on a mock sprint tri at a nearby pool on Monday. There will be no timing or officiating, just 5$ to cover lifeguards and somebody to watch the transition area. It'll definitely be the cheapest race I'll ever do. |

Pro 3870 Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Well, I have tomorrow off but I'll still get up at 5:30am to catch masters swim and top off my swim goal for the month. Might jump into a 10k Saturday morning...or blow off exercise for the day. Long ride Sunday morning...probably 50-75 miles...and a 5-6 mile run that evening. Monday, well, that's too far off to think about right now but I suspect maybe a 10-12 mile run or maybe a nice open water swim. |

| Master 1315 Shreveport, LA | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Just some ribs, burgers, ribeyes, shrimp, homemade ice cream, and bannana pudding. Then swim a few thousand yards, bike for a few hours and run once or twice to help burn off the calories from the food I ate. Also, got to pick out material for curtains and paint color for the baby's room. (She will be here in Sept.) |

Master 1478 Southwest Chicago 'burbs Bronze member | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Going to Colorado to hike in RMNP! Kind of a trial run to a big backpacking trip that I have planned for the end of August... need to see how much the altitude is gonna kick my butt.  So - no swimming or running or biking... but lots of exercise in store! |

Expert 852 Evergreen, Colorado Bronze member | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? I was starting to feel like a geek because I've just been looking forward to logging some good longer workouts this weekend, but sounds like I'm not the only tri geek who thinks that long weekend = more time for triathlon related events |

| Lake Mary Florida | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Well I live in Canada so our long weekend was last weekend. Still this weekend is National Capital Race Weekend in Ottawa. One weekend 8 races. There are 25,000 people registered so far with more to come race day. I am doing the 10K on Saturday night and I am going to watch, cheer, and hang out at all the other races. Sunday mornings marathon should be very cool! Woohoo! |

Elite 2915 New City, New York | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? I'll take that as a compliment!!! As i was doing a 1/2 mile swim as a warm up b4 intervals this morning I was thinking, Man what is wrong w/ me 1/2 mile as a warm up! Proceeded to ride the bike for 20 minutes after the intervals. Yes I have a problem!!!! |

| Veteran 109 | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Sunday I'll have my first race of the season and it's the Little Smokies Half IM. Longest race of my life to kick this summer off. Wish me luck! Oh...and after that race I'll be doing the burgers and beers....several beers to replace all of the nutrients I lost during the race |

Regular 79 Pacific Northwest | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Headed to Coeur d' Alene to ride the course and get in a good long run. Trying to find out where I can do an open water swim in the area. Any suggestions? |

Expert 725 Wilmington, NC | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? 1) Watching my son graduate from high school 2) entertaining my parents and my PILs 3) taking my parents back to the airport Sunday pm 4) getting away from it all with a swim Saturday, a bike Sunday am, and a swim Monday. I'll probably eat too much and get major league sunburn in there somewhere as well. |

| Elite Veteran 1817 Cedar Rapids, Iowa | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Weather permitting (please please PLEASE) - Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings will all be spent out at the site of my tri (June 5th) practicing open water swimming, with a mock tri scheduled for whichever morning I feel the most energetic. |

Expert 822 | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? I'm going down to the Central CA coast (Avila Beach & Santa Maria). I'm taking my gear and planning my normal workouts, however. I'm already mapping out bike routes around where I'll be. There's an area for OW swimming. Sat: bricks & LSD swim. Sun: LSD bike, LSD run. Mon: Bike speed workout (usually a spin class so I'll have to figure something out), and swim drills. Other than that, I'm looking forward to the Avila Beach Blues Festival with The Robert Cray Band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and the Moody Blues. Enjoy, everyone! |

Expert 936 Westchester County NY | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Spending the weekend in Vermont. We're taking our bikes. I plan to bike and run while I'm there. It will be way to cold for any OW swimming. |

Veteran 166 Ventura, California | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Helping my old roommates move out of the house I used to live in on Saturday (I see it as 8 hours of strength training...lots of crap in a 4br house), got a 5k in Brentwood, CA on Sunday and then my first ocean swim followed by a 20mile ride up the Rincon coast bright and early on Monday AM. Really weird not to be getting wasted at Havasu or Laughlin on Memorial Day weekend (though I will miss the young and naked women who do fun things when they are drunk) This tri thing really has changed my life!!!! |

Expert 1166 Colchester, CT | Subject: RE: Memorial Day W/E Plans? Heading up to the 1/2 IM course to get a ride and a run in over the course. Probably do 1/2 the bike, since it's an out and back course and a few miles of the run course. Planning on videoing both courses to bring back to watch |
