Oklahoma City Redman Triathlon - Full Redman : Official Thread

yep, hard to believe only about 10-weeks until the race. This will be my first IM distance event. 

Draykus, I think you are slightly ahead of me on the training but I feel pretty decent about my bike and somewhat ok with my swim.  I have redeveloped PF issues and I have not run for over a week!  I'm going to give it a couple more days then I'm just going to have to suck it up a deal with it.  Not fun! 

Anyway, good luck to everyone with your training and look for to meeting some of you in September!

taper?  nobody said anything to me about a taper!    actually my training has been all over the map...after tomorrow it will make my biggest week time-wise.  I'll take it easy the following couple weeks.  but yeah, the long weeks have been wearing me out (as well as my family).

just one week away...hope everyone's training went well!  This is my 1st 140.6 and I'm pretty excited (and nervous).

I need transportation on race morning.  I've contacted the RD and I understand there is no shuttle for athletes race morning.  If anyone is staying at the Marriot and could possible give me a ride to the start on race morning I would really appreciate it!  I can meet up in the lobby whatever time you are leaving...just want to be there in time for the start.

I have a vehicle but my family is with me and they will be sleeping in.  I would rather leave them the vehicle if I can.  Anyway, if someone has room for a skinny guy please let me know.

Ray

hey tony, if a canopy was available i am sure that my wife and kids would take advantage of it at some point during the race.  they won't be out there all day but probably will be for part of the swim and then the run portion.  so my vote would be yes...but again if nobody else shows any interest don't have triok bring it on our account. i assume something will be posted to know what to look for.  couple other things:

i am still looking for a ride to the start from the marriott

never been to okc...is this a dry state?  should i bring my good post-race beer from colorado?

Hi All!  Best of Luck!

When you see the volunteer in long brown pants (and possibly a straw hat) doing hand-ups at Bike Aid Station #3, holler "BT" and I'll tell you you're hawt.  

(Turns out I'm on the bike course, not the run course.)

Have a great race everyone!!!

GOOD LUCK!  2Goggs and WaveDog - don't forget to EEEAAAWWW!!!

I was hoping to meet some of you BT peeps out there but that was not to be.  anyway, hope you all had a good race and made it through the mudfest afterwards!  this was a great event (other than the rain) and one I would highly recommend.  Congrats to all of you that finished!
