Extreme Veteran  546   Oakland, Florida |  Subject: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official ThreadWanted to start the offical thread under Races for the St Anthony Triathlon in April. I see on this site that several people are signed up to do it. Will there be 4000 triathletes doing this race? If that is true. Wow! |

Extreme Veteran 591 New Port Richey, FL | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread Last year there were 3536 finishers (including pros) and 148 relay teams. That's 3980 if you assume 3 people per relay team. Add in the DNFs and that puts you over 4000. It will probably sell out, but registration is still open after almost two weeks...(as opposed to closing an about 3 hours in 2007). Race day is only 19 weeks from tomorrow. Only three weeks left to goof off before training starts in earnest |

Extreme Veteran 546 Oakland, Florida | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread I am really pumped about the race. I haven't done a swim in the Gulf since I did the Elephant Man Triathlon in Destion, Florida. It was one of the first Triathons I did. I went back seveal years later and did it again. It was very nice swimming in the gulf. |

| Tampa, FL | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread Sorry to break the bad news but the swim is in the bay not the gulf. Do not expect the good visibility you had on your last gulf swim. |

Extreme Veteran 546 Oakland, Florida | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread Thanks for the update. Still enjoyed the Gulf but the Bay will do. |

Champion 7704  Williamston, Michigan | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread I'm in. Lots of people got pissed off about the swim being canceled last year. Its a world class race close to home. If I had to travel far I probab;y would skip it but its tons of fun. |

Expert 1210 Near Tampa | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread I'm in too! Soooo excited. I know this is a huge and long-standing event, and season opener for many. I've been on the sidelines trying to make up my mind but then I saw time was running out. See you all there. I also hope they don't cancel the swim this year. If anyone else in Riverview/Lithia area doing this, let's hook up. I got SOCKS on my to-meet list. |

Veteran 137 Lakeland, FL | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread I'm in. This will be my first Olympic distance and the size is a bit intimidating, but it sounds like fun. We'll hopefully be staying in the Anna Maria area making a full weekend of it. |

Champion 7347 SRQ, FL | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread Booj - 2010-01-07 9:31 PM I just signed up for this race. Can anyone recommend a hotel? The Hampton Inn downtown is great but runs about $200 a night. Vinoy is even more. There are a couple of small B&B downtown as well. Best bet it to head west and find a place and drive in that morning. |

| Member 38 Myrtle Beach, South Carolina | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread Starting this year at St. Anthony's Tri. Getting in Friday night and leaving Monday. I was wondering about a good place to stay. Will be alone so logistics is a somewhat of a concern. Also, what are some good places to eat and possible have a beer or 2. Thanks in advance. Hal |

Hal Hal, this is taking place in Downtown St. Pete, no problem finding a decent eatery, as far as hotels, you might find yourself a little tight by now. google hotels in the area, I am sure all the nice rooms are probably gone by now. There are several office parks requiring a 15-20 min drive but I am sure they'll have a few rooms. Don't stay immediately "SOUTH" of the DT area. G'luck |

Champion 7347 SRQ, FL | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread While it looks like it's a long way away this is a nice hotel: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/tpapg-courtyard-st-petersburg-clearwater/ 2 years ago we stayed there and there were quite a few St A's participants there (including pro Julie Dibens). It's quite an easy drive down I-275 to downtown. I'd say that early in the morning only 20 mins MAX. |

Veteran 137 Lakeland, FL | Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official Thread I was told by a girl in my running group that the majority of people wear wetsuits for this event - is this true?? I thought by the end of April the water temps wouldnt require a wet suit. If so, I guess I need to find a used one |

I thought by the end of April the water temps wouldnt require a wet suit. If so, I guess I need to find a used one water temps do not require it but in general most people are faster in a wetsuit. Its been chilly here this spring so I bet the water will be colder than other years |
