Given the nature of the pool and the way they run the swim.. I think it is inherently a 'slow' swim..
Seemed to bottleneck frequently... and soooo difficult to pass..

Looking to improve my O/A time.. as I bought a road bike...

I really wanted to, and it was actually on my race calendar all year until I got the opportunity to go to Colorado on vacation for the first week of August.  Vacation trumps racing this time!

Been a long, semi busy day.. But.. looks like I'm now registered for Walnut Grove 2010...
Looking forward to getting the race details and not having ferry rides and accommodations to worry about.. 
Given that most of my friends are racing Oly, HIM & IMC this year.. I figured this was the least I could do.. in the name of the sport!!

Let the count down begin to completing school.. returning to full-time (m-f) employment.. and being able to hire a trainer/coach

I may be there to cheer, so please feel free to post your race numbers. That way we can put faces to names. (geez, I hope that does not come across as creepy...

#301. Racing on the Black Kueen-K in my stylish blue race suit and a freshly shaved noggin. Looking to place in the top this year and I WILL be taking the bike course record back this year and setting it up high so no one else can touch it for a while.....good luck to all you others out there!

Kelly.. Not sure on the creepiness factor... ?!
Haz... sure you and your new lady kill current bike times..
I'm just looking to improve my O/A time.. and placement.. given that i have a faster bike And most recently a flashy red tri-suit... i figure.. if i'm not moving fast enough to be a blur... i might as well be colour coordinated

Kelly... thanks for the cheering section & sign... glad i actually got a chance to thank you in person!!

Leah.. thanks for volunteering to be a helmet nazi...

Riel... how was your race?!

Haz....  Looks like you had a good race.. even if you didn't win the aero helmet :P  Did your new bike live up to the expectations you'd set for her?!

I had an awesome day... definitely happy with my O/A performance.... so much so that I started wetsuit shopping on my way home

Congratulations everyone!!

I enjoyed meeting you all today, and had a great time cheering, even if I sounded like a drunk lunatic in the rain

Haha that sign was great! I also enjoyed the pot banging, those cheers made my horrible bike time a little bit faster.

I saw your sign too!! That was fantastic. Too bad cheering won't guarantee that chains stay where they're supposed to. :p

Hey Peby...

What sort of race reports are you seeking?!

A) A review of the event and our thoughts 

OR

B) A brag session about our performances

Mine's up! Although it's more of a "trials and tribulations" report than anything else.
