Master 1240 Knightdale/Raleigh | Subject: RE: Um whos doing the YMCA Wilmington Tri Last year I was tempted to stop by Buddy's for a beer during the run. I'll be racing last year's time, but I'm pretty slow by most objective standards. The swim is too variable so I'm judging my time excluding the swim. |

Veteran 335 Wilmington, NC | Subject: RE: Um whos doing the YMCA Wilmington Tri This will be my first race, so my goal at this point is to finish it. I run the run course several times/week, I have biked some of the route (not safe to ride the whole route without lane closures). I have not done the swim, but I know where it starts and finishes...and I used to swim OWS all the time, so I'm looking forward to it. There is a group OWS this weekend (Sunday Morning) on the course if anyone is interested. |

Member 32 Wilmington | Subject: RE: Um whos doing the YMCA Wilmington Tri I'm doing it! My training has been spotty due to some injuries and health issues over the summer, but I feel strong enough to finish. It might take me 2 hours, but I think I can finish. Questions: What time is the OWS practice on Sunday? And, is anyone else as afraid as I am of riding over the metal grate on the drawbridge? I know if it's not wet, it shouldn't be too bad, but I'm still a little freaked by it. Please tell me it's nothing to worry about, or, if it is, how to manage it. Thanks! |

Master 1240 Knightdale/Raleigh | Subject: RE: Um whos doing the YMCA Wilmington Tri They have it coned so narrow at the grate most people take it kind of easy. I've done this race twice and it didn't feet twitchy at all. |

Veteran 335 Wilmington, NC | Subject: RE: Um whos doing the YMCA Wilmington Tri Great job out there guys and gals! I hope everyone had a great day, it was awesome weather, the tide/current was right on, and other than that STUPID headwind for part of the bike, all seemed to just come together. |

Member 32 Wilmington | Subject: RE: Um whos doing the YMCA Wilmington Tri They did post them, but it was very late. I was headed to my car, and I saw they were up. Usually they post them earlier, even if all the results aren't in yet. |

Extreme Veteran 314 | Subject: RE: Um whos doing the YMCA Wilmington Tri Nice win Ginger! On a side note, am I the only one that had problems with the swim? I couldn't tell if it was current or just not knowing where I was going, but my time was paranormal for me...not sure if I'll be doing that one again. |

Master 1436 Wilmington | Subject: RE: Um whos doing the YMCA Wilmington Tri Alottttt of people in every wave started the swim off wrong by swimming to the first buoy and then letting the current sweep them to the right. I watched the Elite guys and they alll swam dead straight and let the current take them to the docks and let the current shot them of down the the last leg as oppose to swimming in the middle of the channel like a lot of people did. I did what the pros did and I flew that first segment. My time was 25.51 but I walked most of it back to T1 but my watch time was 23:20. I enjoyed the swim. Everyone did an AWESOME job |
