I'm thinking about making this my first tri ever! Anyone done this one? Would it be a good one for my first? Anyone doing it this year?

Will there be any sort of B.T. Meet/Greet during this event?

Has anyone done this event Without a Wetsuit?  Would it be tolerable? 

 If it makes a difference, i'm used to bodyboarding around the newport area w/o a suit...

The water should be fine. I have no idea what the temp will be, but it is such a short swim that you will be out before you get frostbite

I am up for meeting before the race. I have been out of the loop for so long that I don't know most BTers these days.

I will be a Swim Buddy for this race, so come and look for me before your wave start and say "Hi"

My thanks goes out to BT and all on this website!!!  I have now completed my first ever Tri and am stoked!!! 

Though we can all psycho-analyze each/every event...my personal goal was to complete in 2hrs.  Did it in 1:39:58.  Hoping I can do better for future events since I ended up side-stroking pretty much the whole swim portion but didn't quit!! LOL..

Bottom Line.. I had a Fantastic time!!!

Good times!  My RR is up , even though the official splits aren't.

Did anyone else get over 10 miles for the bike leg?  If I remember correctly, I think my computer said 10.34 miles.

CONGRATS Islander -- Now a triathlete!

Yes, I got 10.3 or 10.4 on the bike portion, too. I loved this race. Well supported, and what an easy swim. Too bad I didn't look on here before the race, we could have met up. I'll check out your race report and I'll be doing mine soon. I need to check the splits.
