| Expert 655 Denver | Subject: RE: New Balance Half Sounds like you are doing well. I went out on Saturday and did the bike course in 2:59:38 and then did the run in 1:39:16 so I was pretty happy with that. If I have a good swim I am looking at under 5:30 total time so that would make me pretty happy. Hopefully we can all get together before race day anyway, speak to you soon, Cheers Mike |

| Member 82 Vancouver,BC | Subject: RE: New Balance Half I know it's Mother's Day weekend, so I have a mandatory visit to the island coming up. If anyone is interested in joining me, I am planning on doing the bike leg (90k) of the HIM, on Sat 13th 9am. Meet at Hamsterley Beach and go from there. I'm just curious to see the terrain, so it won't be a killer workout unless the first loop is a breeze. Guessing on about 3-4hrs? LMK Cheers Scott |

Yeah, you're about spot-on with that guesstimate. I'd say about 3.5 hours. It is a hilly route, so your pace is going to be a bit lower (I do a route that overlaps with the half iron route at about 23-24 km/h) and at times, a little confusing (road names change at certain points)... but it's a pretty decent course. It may take you a little longer with traffic though.. some intersections take forever to change over. Wish I could join you - I've got an early morning class and a wedding in the afternoon that day! Enjoy your ride and have fun with your mum! Edited by Vaiza 2006-05-12 11:00 AM |

| Expert 655 Denver | Subject: RE: New Balance Half You guys are going to be in Vic? Do you know what time the Bastion grand prix is on? That would be a great race to watch. Usually I am working but I am off this year. If you are riding on Saturday I am riding the half iron course at around 9-10am so if you want to meet for a ride drop me a PM. Anyway, hope you have a good time in Vic. Later all. Cheers, Mike |

| Expert 655 Denver | Subject: RE: New Balance Half Less than 2 weeks to go are you guys getting excited? This will be my first tri of this year so I am pumped. Can't wait to see how all my hard work in training will pay off!!! Hope to meet some of you there, it should be a fun weekend, me and a buddy of mine are going to hit the course on Friday and do the swim, followed by a lap of the bike and a lap of the run, I will let you guys know how the lake is. Cheers, Mike |

| Expert 655 Denver | Subject: RE: New Balance Half Okay all, here is the update. Friday me and my friend Trevor swam the course and I have one word to describe it...MURKY... You can barely see 1/2 a foot around you at all times!!!! It certainly made it interesting. ON the plus side the water was not super cold so that was good. We also did a lap of the bike and a lap of the run. Can't wait only 9 more days!!! Cheers, Mike |

| Member 82 Vancouver,BC | Subject: RE: New Balance Half There's been discussion about BT'ers in Vic for the NB Tinman at Elk Lake getting together on Sat evening for an informal dinner/carbo load before the race. Anyone interested? Ideas on where? Time - maybe after the race meeting? Let's get something going so we know who we're cheering for. Cheers Scott |

| Expert 655 Denver | Subject: RE: New Balance Half Hey Dr Leah, just so you guys know, Pagliacci's does not take reservations so you might want to get there early otherwise it can be a long wait as it is a fairly popular place to eat. Another good place for pasta is Il Terrazo although it can be a bit on the pricier side of things. |

| Expert 936 Westchester County NY | Subject: RE: New Balance Half DrLeah - 2006-06-13 2:53 PM Now that will be cool!! It's on Sunday, all waves should be off on the swim by 7:15-ish. It's at Hamsterly Beach at Elk Lake. Here's the link for the course info: http://www.island-multi-sports.com/Half%20Iron/NB_Half_Course_Info.htm I passed Elk Lake today on the bus going out to Buchardt Gardens. Looks like a nice place to have a tri. Unfortunatley a little too far to travel without a car, but would be interested in meeting you for dinner Saturday. I don't have to be racing to have an excuse to carbo-load. :-) and meet other BT'ers. |
