Lake Las Vegas Triathlon

I'm in for the sprint.  My first tri.   

Glad they added the packet pickup on the west side of town Thursday as it's only a couple minutes from my work vs. having to try and spend two hours on Friday trying to get all the way out and back to the race site area.

I don't have any numbers, but it's pretty hilly if it's the same loop as last year.....

Where is the west side packet pick-up?

Alternate packet pickup is Thursday 4-7pm at the Red Rock Running Company (Buffalo & Cheyenne).

Nice - I can walk there from home...  Sweet....

I'm #173. 

Looks like there are 400 people registered.  That should make it pretty crowded on the 5 mile loop bike course.   From the map everyone is going the same route, just 3 vs 5 laps for sprint/olympic.  

People in line at the packet pickup said the lake is pretty nasty right now.  Visibility was pretty much 0 and slimy.  

Sounds like we'll have a great time! 

Gotta be down hill from here! 

My first tri and I seem to have won my age group (40-44) in the Sprint category.  I wasn't able to stick around for the awards ceremony, did they give out any AG awards?   I saw they had plaques for the combined times stuff (husband wife, parent/child), but didnt' see anything for AG. 

Will post my comments later in the race report, but overall had a great time and glad I found a short course to start with.

Thanks.  I sent an email to Keith @ Sunset and see if it's possible to get it mailed out.   I hung around until around 10:15 watching you Olympic guys roll in but had to go after that.  

Anyone have any race photos online?   I guess they didn't have any photographers for the event so nothing from the offical site is posted.  Too bad, I would have sent my wife or friend out with the camera and had them snap photos all day.  Could have had a nice fund towards a new bike!
