Karibu - 2010-05-14 11:12 AM I am coming to watch Saturday, can anyone help me out with directions from I 75? Where exactly does the race start? I cannot find an address.

Simplest:  Get off I-75 at Clark Rd.  Stay on Clark.  It will eventually curve to the left and become Stickney Point Rd.  Stay on Stickney Point past 301/Tamiami Trail and over the draw bridge to Siesta Key.  Turn right (north) at the light and head up the key.  You will come to a light with a "Y" intersection. (a fire station will be on the left).  Stay left on Beach Rd.  The public beach parking lot will be a couple of hundred yards on the left,  just past the tennis courts.   Turn left into the lot and park.  The Transition area is on the grassy area behind the tennis courts. 

HTH,

Mark



Thanks!

How did everyone do?  I had my best race so far.  Took 2nd in the 30-39 Clydesdale division in 1:16:22.  It was amazing how much I improved, went from 2nd to last in October 2009 to a top three finish yesterday.  Thank you Beginner Triathlete for all of the help!

It was a great first tri for me! I thought I was going to be last out of the water and managed to come out near the front. I finished in 1:22 and got 3rd in my age group. Never saw that coming.

Congrats to everyone!  Can't wait to get back there next year for the Oly.  I finished first my AG and 6th overall in the sprint race.  What a great venue.  Well run, tons of volunteers, great weather...no complaints (except the extra 50 meters or so I ran past the turnaround, oops)  Great job cwpeters, keep up the hard work and you will keep improving!

1st in Clydes here - Make that 4 from BT!
I've got to say, for a first year race- just great organization and planning in every aspect.

Funny moment- waiting to get into transition, guy next to me says "I wish they had more water stations."
Really???
1 out of the water, 1 out of transition on the run, 1 at the sprint turnaround- did he need someone
running alongside him with a bottle?


Had a great race,
steve
