Who else will I be seeing on Sunday?!?!?!?! 

 I was hoping to wear my new green tri kit to match my bike and TEAM United Cerebral Palsy, however, my top still hasn't come in yet and I refuse to go topless...  I"ll probably be in my red Desoso corset top instead.  I doubt it will be wetsuit legal with how warm it's been, but you never know...

Well if you want a big cheering section just pick you topless option and we will show up to cheer you on. Surprised

I am registered for the olympic distance, but we just moved (family of 6), and I'm feeling pretty beaten up.  Not sure if I will show or not.  If I do, then I'll in F 30-34.  I will look for you, Robin.  I will be wearing a black Pearl Izumi trisuit.

I might pop in to cheer y'all on, but I definitely won't be racing


What time do things kick off down there? I think I need to get my Tri-fix on.
Robin, if you opt for the topless route, they may DQ you, but you'll have the biggest cheering section out there, lol!

Any late September Tri's in Cleveland area?

I am in Columbus and would love to tri another one, 'up north'

Or what websites should I check out for dates?  After Dayton Half Marathon on Sept 15 is good.

I'm healing well, just not fast enough for my liking
I'm holding out a faint glimmer of hope that I'll be able to sneak in another race or two before the end of the season.

This is about the best site I've found for finding races. Use the Races button up above and then search away :-)

http://www.trifind.comis pretty good, too.


Here is a quick listing of all tri's in Ohio after Sept 15th

Hopefully the storms will hit in the afternoon.  As long as we don't have whitecaps out to the breakwall like we did last year.  That was rough... 

Oh, and rain.  I don't want any rain...  The way this summer has been, I have had no practice with biking in rain...

The whitecaps are brutal.  Think the race will be wetsuit legal this year?  I got a new full suit I'd like to try out.  Also, I'm not looking forward to 3 laps on the Shoreway.  Scares me a bit

hahahahha.  oops.

 

Shoutout to cgregg for braving the wind and rain to spectate the race!  Nice scars, man!

We had a thunderstorm about 2 am, but no rain until the run, thank the Lord!  But, boy was it windy!!!!  Strong west wind on an east/west bike and run route.  While the westbound was slow going with wind and uphills, the eastbound was super-fast!!!!  I'll share my results when I get them.  They were encouraging people to leave when done due to potential heavy downpours, so no olympic results yet.   

Jarvy, where were you?  Someday I'll meet you in person....

I actually asked a woman next to me if her name as Robin!  LOL  I couldn't remember what you said you'd be wearing, so I went off what your photo looks like on this site.  Couldn't for the life of me spot you.  I was there, hanging out around the olympic racks until about 7:30.  

I had a really rough race (to say the least).  Slow finish time of 2:52.  Brutal.  Could barely keep my bike upright on the Shoreway.

Good seeing you & Steve. It was pretty cool to just spectate a tri; I'd never done that before. I had quite a few quiet chuckles to myself watching some of the people, and was mega-inspired by several others. Oh, and I learned a few things, too... like "tighten everything". I can't even tell you how many bike parts I saw falling off people's bikes today. One guy lost his seat as he came into T2! Wow, can you imagine the discomfort of that happening 5 minutes sooner???!?


As for the scars, I'll gladly trade them to anyone that wants them, lol!

Yeah!  Isn't that weird?  The only reason I had an inkling of that was because of the Plain Dealer lady asking me questions afterwards.  WIth all the weather, they took down the clock and were getting people out of there.  No results until last night.  What a horrible few hours not knowing if you really did it or not!!! 

(I am thankful the really fast people stayed home.)

She would be my daughter . . . very proud.  Competed in the National INvitational today with a very strong field and her first attempt she finished above 50% overall!
