Yeah that's the same reason they don't allow swimming in the lake we were in. We saw a few sunning themselves on the banks before the race. Of course you can't go to any lake in FL without seeing at least one gator. |

Yikes. As for the cooling stack, that nuke actually cleans the water. You should be happy. But it is a spooky site when you're right near them. |

Veteran 145 Boulder | Subject: RE: Signs you don't want to see at a tri This one for the win! For some reason it reminds me of the Simpsons and the three eyed fish that swim in the lake. halfpint - 2009-06-17 7:17 AM My tri in July is in a lake...which happens to be the cooling source for a cone.

| Austin, Texas or Jupiter, Florida | Subject: RE: Signs you don't want to see at a tri I thought that might have been one of Duke Power's plants for some reason. What race is that? My folks live in Cary and I was thinking about taking the family (and bike) up there sometime during the summer. It's cooler than Florida... |

| Alpharetta, Georgia | Subject: RE: Signs you don't want to see at a tri My friend made a sign last year that said FLOATIES $1 And was wearing kids sized floaties on his arms. He was nicely positioned at the swim start and got more than a few chuckles. I've also seen in a marathon at the 1-mile marker: ONLY 25.2 MILES TO GO! |
