Wilmington Athletic Club Triathlon : Official Thread

Bob,

Stacey and I will be there Sunday.  It will be our first time doing this race.  Looking forward to it!

ps - The parking is not as nice as at the Azalea.  If you aren't there really early you will probably have to use one of the secondary parking areas and have a fairly long walk to the race site.

Thanks for the information, Bob!  Stacey and I are going to get there Saturday to check out the course before Sunday.

My goal is to not finish last. As of now I only have a 10 min lead on the last swimmer so its going to be close. :-)

blynott is correct. Out of all the races i have done, 3, this one seems to be the worst as far as swimming seeds. Swimming in the warmer water is nice but it does make for a chilly bike ride.

Very important to check what gear your bike is in before you rack it. Remember you have a 20 yrd uphill start. And it's one of the steepest hills in Wilmington. ;-)

One of the better area competitors told me that he runs his bike up the hill and then does a flying start.  I don't do a flying start so I will remember to set my gears for that hill.  

I'll look for you there.  I'll be the old (68) bald guy with the fancy new TriWilmington race suit. (At least I'll look fast)

Alan, Stacey and Lorne - great seeing you at the WAC sprint today.  Good luck at the White Lake Half Alan (And Stacy?). 

Bob

Well, met my goal of not finishing last.

I must have cheated on the swim as my time was 6:11. I did feel pretty well on my swim but I have never swam a sub 6:30 min 300 before and 6:11 includes my run to the swim finish line. I apologize to whom ever I head butted. That is, IF it was my fault. :-) Especially if it was you Stacey.

Great meeting Alan, Stacey and Bob. Might be time to get serious if I am going to continue in this sport. 100 out of 107 in the bike and 106 out of 107 in the run is embarrasing.
