I am planning to arrive in Austin on Saturday.  Will I be able to pick up my packet on Saturday?  How does packet pick-up typically work for 70.3s?  Thanks!

The website at www.longhornironman.com stays pretty well updated, current schedule is as follows, with "Athlete Check-In" being your packet pick-up times.  Also note that you have to check your bike in on SATURDAY before the race because shuttles will take us from the Expo center to the race site on Sunday morning (no onsite parking due to athlete safety).  So, arrive in time to check your bike in and get your packet on Sat! You'll get all the info/numbers/etc that you need at check in.  Also attend an athlete pre-race briefing so you can get the race directors notes and information on the course.

Thanks so much!  I have been stalking the website and I did not see any information on this last week, so I guess it was recently updated.  I am traveling the week leading up to the race and wanted to be sure I wasn't going to be missing anything by coming in on Saturday.
