Boulder Peak Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 2)

#770 Day Glow Orange for me......I won't be hard to spot, I will be the guy swimming even slower than usual.  I wrecked the bike last Saturday (98 miles into a 100 mile ride) and thought that I had broken my collar bone, but it's just a real nice bone bruise.  Fortunately the bike didn't get more than a little scratched up.

Good luck to everyone this weekend.

I'm #1364, and I'll be wearing the same top I have on in my avatar. I hope to NOT be crying as I cross the finish line like I was last year (and no, they definitely were NOT tears of joy).

I just took a look at the Pro's who are starting at 9am. Some impressive names out there. It should be fun to watch these guys go flying by. The one I recognized the most was Tim DeBoom..2 time Kona Ironman winner.

I just went through packet pickup and it seems like they are more organized for this race than the sprint. They were setup by bib #.. 1-300, 301-600 etc...

They also had the meeting running on a TV at one of the tents. Hopefully that takes the place of attending one of the mandatory ones tomorrow.

Second this - more organized & much faster.  I pretty much walked right up & got my packet.  Yay!

Was the TV meeting the same one posted on the website?  That would be ideal.  It was a pretty good video.

I watched a chunk of it, it seems to be Barry's standard format and content...most of which is also covered in the packet online

Like a tiger! Grrrr!

Good luck everyone!

Yep, pretty much the standard info. The only new bit I heard was that they've changed the swim course, hopefully to alleviate the blinding swim into the sun. We shall see, I guess!

Glad to hear packet pick-up is much better than the sprint. I expect it to be more crowded tomorrow than today, but if it's better organized to start with, that will be a huge help!

ROFL, like a toothless one maybe! 

Is the speed limit only on Old Stage or is it also on Lefthand Canyon?

Just on Stage Coach for the speed limit....it's a good idea, too because there is a couple of little technical turns in that area that could really ruin your day if you were going to fast through there....

Last year there was a Boulder County Sheriff near the bottom of the hill with a radar gun...

...are you sure?  I was told the limit was in place for the entire descent to the intersection of HWY36 and Lefthand Canyon?

Nope, it's just a short section of old stage - per the athlete's guide

Hi -
As an ex Coloradoan?, now living in NC, I am considering adding this event to my 2011 schedule.  Can I get some advice from those of you who have done this in 2010?  I'm into my 3rd year of races and doing 2 HIMs and a IM in 2011.  Is this a good race?  I have some family in Denver that would make this a great trip if the race is as good as I've heard so far. 

Thanks everyone,
Kurt

It is a really good event, despite being acquired by 'the dark side' (WTC) a year+ ago.  Course is fun, people on course and spectating are very supportive, and the weather's usually fine.  Fills quick though...
