New Jersey State Triathlon - Olympic Distance : Official Thread

I'm doing it. It'll be my first time. I've volunteered at CGI events, but have never raced one. Looking forward to it as they do put on good races .

I'm just hoping it's not too hot and humid. I guess it's typically not wetsuit legal.

I'll be there, unless business interferes and then I'll be pissed! Where are people staying? I know there is camping and hotels. I live about an hour away and undecided about driving up race morning or night before. Since packet pick up is Saturday, I guess it's looking like going up Saturday. Now, where to stay.....

Tell me about it. I am thinking about racing in just a swimsuit. It would be my first time doing that. I would want to try riding in it first just to make sure everything stays in place but I can't work up the courage to go for a ride in just a swimsuit! I cannot imagine the types of things that will be yelled at me out of car windows!

I just think all my tri suits (all two piece) create a little too much drag between the pockets in the back, or the zipper on the front, etc. I usually finish somewhat decent in the swim but this will be my first non-wetsuit race (well, except for my first season when I was just trying to finish), so I need all the help I can get.

I'll be there - I hope to time it right on Sat. so Im there at 4 for the Uberman sooper dooper sprint. Should be cool to watch - I didn't quite make the cutoffs required to participate

I e mailed the RD earlier in the year about getting a BT tent at the expo - Im not sure how that works though - does someone have to stay at the tent the whole time or can we just have one as a central meeting point? 

Also, if I remember correctly, there were folks wearing wetsuits. It's always right on the borderline. If no wetsuits, I'll swim in a bra and tri shorts. Not a pretty sight but it works.

I'm in as well.   First time OLY and first time without a wetsuit.  Am getting a bit nervous about the swim.
