The Power Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread

I am ready, last years time was about 96 minutes, this year I am looking to beat that, and my wife is joining me this year as a competitor

My wife and I are both in for this! A good warmup before Tidewater Oly!

There is no way I could get my wife to do one ... Yet. I bought her a hybrid bike so I am going to try to get her to do a relay with me sometime this summer. She just doesn't know it yet.

My neighbor talked me into signing up.  This will be my first time for this race and I will be coming back from my from my first HIM Florida 70.3 the week prior.  I hope I have some energy left.

It should be a walk in the park for you. God speed on your HIM. Let us know how it went.

Thanks for posting this Dano, I submitted my 100 yd time!!!  I just corrected it.  I am leaving for Ironman 70.3 Florida tomorrow morning and just saw this post before I say goodnight.    Thanks!

Good luck

Right now I am seeded 476 and the wife is ranked 565

I will not be racing.  I've had some very bad problems with my asthma and don't think it's safe.  I will be volunteering, so hopefully I will get to see you!  Be sure to post numbers once you get them!

Sorry you are not racing, but your health is more important.
If I don't see you on race day, thank you for volunteering, This does not happen with out great people like you.
BTW can you tell us what the sirts look like?

I can't, unfortunately.  You'll probably know before I will since I don't have to go to packet pickup anymore. 

Hi Racers!
Jen - Bummer you can't race, but good that you are taking care of yourself! Maybe we will see you. (I will have hubby and baby in tow.)

I am doing just the swim leg of a relay. I am trying to suck some more people into our sport! This, in spite of the fact that I hate pool swims. I guessed at 6:00 min and never updated. Oh well, they always seem to get super backed up anyway.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and lots of cheering on after I'm done with my 6:00!!

-Rebecca

Right now, I'm scheduled to work on the finish line, so hopefully I will get to see all of you!  I expect to be in other locations, too, but I won't know day of. 

I am 212. Tom, the list confirmed you are 508 so your are probably right on target with your wife's #. I'll try t go by your rack and say hi after I set up.

Hope the rain stays away for most of the race like last year. I covered my stuff with a plastic rain ponch last year and everything was dry when I got to T1.

Godspeed everyone, see you at the finish, one way or another.

Dano

Dano, make sure to say hi. I am number 209!! Have a great race everyone!! I will have on a Central Virgina Endurance top on.

What a great event, Every one that knows Laurie needs to thank her, wife and I just got back home.
Laurie and her crew and the volunteers put on a great race.

Great job to everyone today!  I tried to find people crossing the finish line as I was taking chips off, but I missed everyone finishing!  Hope you all had great races today. 

The weather was almost perfect. It was great to see Verga finish strong. Hope your wife had a good time at her first tri and had a good experience. It was great to meet Mike and others today. Chillin' at the RTC tent was wonderful, well worth the membership cost. Thanks to all the volunteers especially Jen. Hope everyone's training continues to go well and your next race yields a PR.

Stay healthy,

dano

The RTC tent and the grilled hot dogs made my day!  I was so hungry by about 9:30 and I ran and got one.  Best hot dog ever!!
