Count me in! And a bunch of other C-State Alumni. If anyone is a Cortland Alumni participating in either the Mini, HIM, or Double, please contact me to let me know. Last year we had 26 alumni together for a great picture. From a current count I know of 15 already registered.

Okay, thanks. I definately dont want to miss out. I bought a wetsuit yesterday from Desoto Sports so Im pretty much committed to this thing. I cant wait!

Does anyone have some info on the new start? I read the past race reviews and people mentioned that about 250M of the swim was in shallow water - this year it says the start is in the channel between seneca lake and seneca river. Does this mean the start is in deep water?

I'm in! I'm doing the mini-mussel as my first event. So here's a total newbie question:
What's the deal with the deep water start -- as in, how do you get into the deep water in the first place... and then what? Do you just hang around and tread water until the race starts?

This is a new swim course, so I can't answer specifically for this race but deep water starts typically have you enter the water by a beach or boat ramp then swim to a designated area and tread water for a few minutes before the start.
I was anxious about my first deep water start but it turned out to be no big deal at all.
