Master 1895    |  Subject: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official ThreadOk...I'm officially registered. Who else is in? I know that there won't be quite as many BT folks at this one as there were at Hawk Island, or that will be at Big Fish, but I'll still bring my tent for us to have a home base. I'm looking forward to this one, especially since it's my "home course". Edited by hamiltks10 2009-06-04 1:24 PM |

Extreme Veteran 446 Mason | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread I'm leaning toward Kensington on the 28th, but this one looks fun...I can't afford both. |

Member 297 Ann Arbor | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread Got any details on the course? I don't want any repeats of the rookie mistakes I made last time around here! What's the course like? I'm so excited! |

Veteran 194 Pinckney, MI | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread I'm trying to leverage this one... apparently it is "up to me". Parents and in-laws might be in town to celebrate our purchase of a boat... plus Father's Day. I'm hoping I can get them all crammed into a minivan or two to witness (plus it's free babysitting).  I've not yet registered, though |

I don't want any repeats of the rookie mistakes I made last time around here! What's the course like? I'm so excited! They have maps of the website of the swim, bike and run. This is what I remember: The swim should be a triangle (straight out from the beach, right, and then angled back to the beach). The bike is all within the park, so I'd be very hard to get lost. The run....not so sure. I think it's a two loop course by the beach, part on grass and part on paved trails. |

Member 297 Ann Arbor | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread I just found the maps. Now this is computer question: Is there any way to size down the pics so that I can print them into a single sheet? Those files are HUGE and my printer seizes up every time I try and print them. |

Veteran 299 Ferndale | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread I am planning on doing the one in August. It will be my first and I am already extremely nervous. Anyway, I was looking at the same pics today and having a hard time making out the route so I made a google pedometer map for the bike route. Not sure this will make it any easier to print but it made it a lot easier for me to get a good grip on just where it goes. URL for this route is: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2907805 I am going to try to do the run later tonight. |

Regular 98 Farmington Hills | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread Hi all, I registered for my 1st Triathlon last Friday and am looking forward to it. Being my first, will I receive an email, or something in the post regarding what time to be there, and what to bring (proof of ID etc...) All it says on the website is that the race starts at 7:30am I've read here that most races have waves, and I would race with other beginners. Maybe all that information is provided the morning of the race? In which case I would have to be there well before the race start time, maybe an 1hr or even more? Any help appreciated. Thanks! |

| Member 39 plymouth | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread my fella and I are going to come and watch... we've never seen a triathlon and I'm hoping being there and taking it all in will push me to do the triceratops tri on wednesday!! |

I'm not sure if you'll get an email before Sunday. But, if I were you I'd try to get there as early as possible. That way you can get your transition area setup, warm up properly, mingle a bit and relax a minute before the thing starts. You'll be surprised how fast the time goes in the morning....before you know it you'll be in the water. So....my suggestion is to get there really early. I'll be there by 6:00am at the latest. I'm not sure how the waves are set up for this one. Normally, you'd go off with your sex and your age group....for example Males under 40, Males over 40, Females under 40, then Females over 40. I haven't done this tri yet, so maybe others can give more specific information regarding the waves they had last year. I don't know if this race has a special wave specifically for beginners. Bring your ID....not sure if they'll actually look at it, but they may. I'm going to bring my blue tent....so look for it and feel free to swing by if you want to before the race. Don't be shy. I'll probably be standing in that thing all by myself anyways. lol |

Member 297 Ann Arbor | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread Other than the blue tent, how do I find you guys? I'll be the one with big "lambchop" style sideburns, and a slight "mullet fauxhawk" or something like that. I can hardly describe myself well. But I want to meet some of you, since I've not been able to see anyone in a training session. |

| Master 1895 | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread Is anyone going out today for packet pickup? I'm assuming there is early packet pickup, but I can't find anything on the website. I'll probably swing up there around 3pm and am hoping to get a chance to swim the swim course. |

Extreme Veteran 730 Milford, MI | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread Good luck to everyone! Race hard, be safe and I look forward to seeing the pics  |

| Master 1895 | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread No packet pick up today....but the park is opening at 5am tomorrow for registration and packet pick up. I'm going to get there as early as my body will let me. I'll have the blue tent, and I'll be wearing a bright orange shirt. I swam the swim course (twice). It's a good one. You can't see the bottom at all...it is pretty murky. But there's not much seawead and the beach area is nice and sandy. I can't wait...it's going to be a fun race tomorrow!

Regular 98 Farmington Hills | Subject: RE: Island Lake Triathlon Presented by Cadence Cycle : Official Thread Loved it! Had a great 1st experience... Can't wait for my next one. Wife and kids were there cheering me on! Stopped by your blue tent a couple of times to introduce myself but you weren't there. Maybe next time... |
