Subject: Mighty Hamptons Triathlon - Roll Call!

Okay, so the Mighty Hamptons Olympic is just over a week away.  Who's racing?  Who's ready?  Who's not ready?

rtocco -  Ralph, dude your logs look solid and your recent race times are fast.  I'd say you're ready

thelazymarathoner - Due to your injury you're volunteering. You Rock!  Thank you. 

(me) Dream Chaser - Like and idiot I should've stuck to road tri's and instead ventured off road and separated my shoulder.  My biking and running are somewhat up to par, but I'm off where I should be due to the injury.  Tonight is my first time swimming in 11 days!  I'm nervous about it... but I'm just glad and super grateful that I can race at all.

How 'bout everyone else??

Also, can anyone who has raced this course before offer any valuable tips?

lol...sorry! I did Mighty Hamptons last year and will be there again this year. Its a nice race...nothing crazy to speak of, just some gradual inclines on the bike. The biggest problem I had was the cold darkness of getting there at 5am! I will definitely arrive bundled up this year. Hopefully it is a nice sunny day because the post race food and atmosphere was nice. Im as ready as I will ever be, but definitely better off than last year so I am looking to beat my time. Good Luck!

I'm in, and very much looking forward to it.

That being said, it will be tough to top the Los Angeles Triathlon I did today (olympic). This was hands down the most enjoyable race I've ever done.

Picked up my packet last night, this should be a great deal of fun. It may actually be the first race where I have some supporters - always a big plus.

I'll be there at 5:30am armed with a sharpie. I have very neat handwriting so be sure to come to me! I'll be directing athletes from swim to bike and I'm trying to throw in an aid station too. Should we plan a BT meet up at some point?

Sorry for last minute peek in this thread..I did race last year...raising kiddies crushed my training this year, but if I can help in anyway.feel free to ask here or PM/Inspire me.  Check out Ralph's inspires from today, perhaps you'll pick up a tid bit or 2.

 

Oh yeah  x10,000 on what Homan said about Bundling up. Although lows only look to be about 65 which isn't too bad, you can always take it off.

Last year was a shock..with lows of like 45 and the sun not rising till about 6:30, we really started to question what the hell we were doing. Regardless, it turned out pretty well and this year will only be better. The awards ceremony/barbeque/atmosphere is cool, so hopefully the weather is nice for us.

We can start another thread on this Monday, but anyone doing the Half??

I feel really bad, but I'm dropping my volunteer shift. I am so run down from my 10 days in Wisconsin, IM jockstrapping and trying to catch up with work, that I feel worse than I have in awhile. I really wanted to be there but the two day trip it will mean for me is just too much. I hope someone else is there with a good sharpie to mark you guys up. Sorry I won't be able to cheer you on. Maybe at another race.

Good luck everyone!
