So, which ones you doing? Looks like a fun weekend they have planned.

I'm doing the swim races myself. Decided again the tri the next day as well. Figured I didn't want to wake up early that Sunday.

JeepFleeb - 2009-06-08 4:34 PM I'm coaching a transition clinic on Sat (1pm) and racing the Olympic on Sunday.

Just got it approved through the "boss" - swim race on Sat (not sure  - either 300m or 750m), spend night at Marriot there, attend the Fireworks and concert July 4 evening, sprint the next morning....  Sounds like a fun holiday!  There might even be time to go to Aaron's clinic

Cool! I'll be swimming the 300... the 750... and the 1500. So whatever race you do, look for me.

Sounds like a nice little getaway for you too!

It depends there is a 5k right down the street from my that my sister and I have done for the past ??? years,, maybe 5 or 6 now.  If she is still in for that I'll run it,  if not [which i doubt] I'd really like to do a swim race

Was on Playtri's site today.  The water temp of Lake Carolyn was a tepid 90 freakin' degrees.   It will be like swimming in the kiddie pool...

I swam at Lake Grapevine this morning ... felt like bath water. I can only imagine how warm "Lake" Caroline must feel, which is a much smaller body of water. It will definitely be a warm swim.

I just hope I swallow as little as the "lake" water as possible. I think last time it messed up my digestive track for about a year. Not sure, but I had issues hours after racing there... issues that stuck with for a year.

I am in for the Olympic. This will be my first race at this site. Any pointers from you guys who have done this race before?

I'll bring some ice cubes for the lake.

Doing the sprint on Sunday. Definitely should be an interesting swim, I am hoping it is slightly cooler in the morning.

HA! Since when did I become modest? I just haven't been on the computer since Thursday!

I'm just curious to see if there was ANYONE else in my age group. I'm thinking not.

Good seeing you out there Andy. Great job on taking on the challenge and seeing it through! It took a lot of guts for you to get out there for 750 meter swim!
