I forgot also. Just came back from picking it up. Luckily, I work about 2 miles away from RBM and live 1 mile away from Cooper. They filled up the race at 500 people! |

I got my packet though... #23. Awesome! Of course that means I'll get passed constantly on the bike and run. HA! |

They filled up the race at 500 people! 500 people?? Wow that's a lot for a pool swim...whoever is #500 better bring a lawn chair. Ok, so then I'm mostly only halfway back in the swim, but I really think I should be more like 3/4 of the way back  so I hope those people put realistic times and aren't trying to swim over me the whole way! |

New user 110 Parker, TX | Subject: RE: Cooper Sprint July 25th #260 here, I went way conservative on the swim time with a 7:20 (normal swim time is 1:50-1:55 per 100), thinking this is only my 2nd tri and I dont want to slow others down, but it appears I should probably put down something more accurate next time. My first tri, I just put slow, and ended up passing ~15 near drownings. Oh well, next time... |

With two loops for 13 miles... it will be madness. I'm taking the road bike so I can feel secure having to move around people and what not. |

Pro 4827 Plano, Texas | Subject: RE: Cooper Sprint July 25th I'm #147. I was flabbergasted when I saw the number. I put down 6'23" for the swim time (should be accurate based on tt swim last month then subtracted two seconds). There is one turn around that (I'm guessing) will be a mess. It's a circle at the end of what should be a residential road (no houses yet). It's going to be kinda tight. The other turn around is going from a two lane street to another two lane street go the opposite direction. Should be fun. Edited by KenD 2009-07-24 9:27 AM |

Extreme Veteran 455 Plano,TX | Subject: RE: Cooper Sprint July 25th A lot of times people who sign up last minute don't get to put a swim time and just get put at the back of the line. This can lead to some really fast people going really late. The Cooper pool is a 50m pool though with 1 way traffic down each lane so there should be plenty of room to pass if need be. |

There's a pdf file with both the run course and the bike course there. That's the same bike course as last year....with all those crazy turns, etc. I was hoping that they'd have a two loop down to custer back to stacey (or to alma then north for a bit).....I didn't like this course last year...... and the run seemed that it was a steady up hill (maybe that was because I was out of shape). |

I'm glad I ony have 22 people in front of me to hold me up. |

Pro 4313 McKinney, TX | Subject: RE: Cooper Sprint July 25th I'm #81......(I put 5:45 for my time) I'm going to get passed by a few but I'm a better swimmer than I was last year and I did 6:30. Hopefully I didn't overshoot. I'll have a black/blue/silver tri-suit on and riding a red/black Fuji Aloha.....stop by and say hi. I'd love to meet y'all. At least slap me on the butt when you pass me on the bike or run (girls only.....the dudes can just say Hi). See y'all tomorrow and good luck. Should be a fun one. |

Pro 4827 Plano, Texas | Subject: RE: Cooper Sprint July 25th Where are y'all putting your bike number? The holes closest to the fold are so close to the fold it's confusing me. I can't find anywhere where it will easily fit and still be seen. |

HA....I stared at the number....then my bike....then the number. I kept thinking, I'm smarter than this and I've done this before. I finally folded over my bar and used tape to hold it together. |
