I am in. Not looking forward to riding wet in 45 degree weather! Women's Tri was like that last year and I could barely tie my shoes.

As an fyi -- course looked fairly decent this morning.  A little glass and a lot of dead animals (particularly two large raccoons).  I not sure that they'll actually get picked up before tomorrow morning.

Somewhere around 1:22 according to my watch.  Were results posted?  I haven't seen them online yet.  Given that I couldn't feel my feet until about mile 2 of the run, I am very happy.  It was a great event and a wonderful way to end the season.

I was there yesterday - I had a really great time.  I didn't see this thread until this morning b/c imagine this I've been working while at work...gasp!  bf said everyone looked very confused on the swim...I sighted the bouys and I think a lot of people were aiming for the kayaks which I guess threw the majority of the women to the left of the course...any way you cut it, the swim leg really wasn't that well organized...still, I had a great swim time.  I loved the bike course, I think I did a decent job seeing that this was my 2nd sprint ever...I came in just under 1:30 and am looking forward to seeing my splits.  It was a beautiful morning for a race!

Jefferey,  The results were on the side of the big white timing van where they were handing out the water and banana's. I looked for your cannondale, but the only one i saw did not have a dora towell, the transition racks were a little packed, i was in the center rack 3 bikes off the front of the transition area, made my transitions really easy being so close to in/out. The only thing that i thought they could have done alot better was the end of the run, we had no idea where we were going. But like the guy on the bullhorn said, it was their first time running this event and they learned alot. At least they had timing chips, that was a nice surprise.

Kira, you must have passed me when i was running walking/jogging, i was off the bike at i believe 1 hour 2 mins or so, my legs were cramped and my shins were killing me for the first mile and 1/2 of the run, i thought the swim was ok, it was tough to see the buoy's i just kept following the main pack, i hung back at the start and passed like 50 people in the first 400 meters and then just kept behind the next group and in front of the group behind, saving some energy for the bike. I am still not super comfortable swimming in a larger group, but i am getting better, at least i do not apologize to everyone that bumps me or i bump, it is just part of racing.

Any of you have trouble with your results?
I got my total time of 1:28 but my swim time and run times were not listed, also transitions and splits were not listed as well.

How about that fog! Buoys where are the buoys!!!

...that would've been fine by me..I never got my pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!  ...Compounce is a really nice park, we took my daughter there for her 4th birthday and I have no complaints...at first I thought they'd at least take us through the park on the run...which would've been fun and a much better distraction than running through the industrial park!!
