Caesar Creek Triathlon - Olympic Course : Official Thread

I'll be doing the sprint.  I have a month now to improve my training and hopefully break the 2hr. mark.  Would really like to finish under 1hr 50min, but we'll see.  Joining a swim team and a cycling club, so that'll probably help.

Luckily this course is only 45 minutes from where I live, so I'll probably get a chance to try the course out a few times before race day.

Me too. Hopefully I won't hyperventilate on the swim this time ) Bought a new wetsuit, but may not need it for this one.  August will be warm and I prefer the cold. My second Olympic tri as well.  Looking forward to it.  Will lose 2 weeks training in July due to travel abroad, but hope to make a good showing and have fun!

caesar creek has : no big hills but a more rolling terrain on the bike , longer grass/dam section on the run - run is also two loops for OLY distance

in.  Man, as the kids grow up and fill up my schedule with Kids , I am having a hard time to find race weekends open.

cgregg - 2012-06-30 2:57 PM well, I am officially out and my season is over :-( Car turned in front of me on Thurs and I went over the handlebars at 20mph. Right wrist is destroyed, right clavicle has a nice 90 turn to it now. Will be having surgery this week :-( The bike is fine

ah that sucks, sorry to hear that. Heal up and get better soon.

Where did this happen by the way?

Oh man that is terrible.

I hope the driver dies a slow and miserable death.  (or at least pays your bills and goes to jail)

That's horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I know right where that is, too.  That area can be tricky with the change of speed limit, "Tangletown", and what I remember as "not-the-smoothest-roads-in-River".  I'm really sorry for your situation, but glad you're still posting--that means you're still alive!  (and glad the bike is ok, too!)

Rest up, heal, do exactly what the doctors say.  There will be more races, but there's only one of you.

I am officially registered for the Girls Tri Too race.  I'll be starting things off bright and early at 7:30am.  I hope to see some of you at the race.
