Expert  902   Wylie, TX |  Subject: RE: Monster Trigleser - 2008-10-25 5:02 PM kproudfoot - 2008-10-25 4:02 PM #34. Some people did some lying I think. I moved up to #34 from 85 and they now have my time at 4:15 which is definately faster than I can go. That means 33 people think they can go sub 4:15 which I really doubt but we will see.
You are correct - I put a 5 minute time and I am 197 - so I cannot believe that there can be that many doing if faster than 5 minutes - we will see. You may have accidentally put down 6:00. I put down around 5:30 and I am #117. |

The RD has no choice but to give all those 5s numbers at random. I put down 4:59 (a legit time) and got #71. |

| New user 80 McKinney,TX | Subject: RE: Monster Tri OK I have to confess I am one of those that didn't tell the truth about there times. I can swim 300 in 5-5:30 & that's what I put down for the Cooper Tri & I got #425,the swim was a big cluster F*^# for me. I didn't want that to happen this time but now I feel like a Jacka*^ , I just didn't know what else to do? My plan is to stay to the right & out of the way as much as possible. Sorry to all that will be behind me,just grab my ankle & pull past.  Edited by GordyP 2008-10-25 9:37 PM |

Veteran 347 | Subject: RE: Monster Tri I put down 4:14 and swam a 4:05 the other night working out. Don't know if I could have rode a bike, much less got out of the pool after that one ha but am going to try to go for it. My last race I got 4:46, passed 3 people (my first pool race and I wasnt savvy about passing them without wasting time) and got stuck behind 2 guys getting out of the water. With that, I think I would have been closer to the 4:14 and I could have raced better that day too. My bike and run need a lot of work so I wanted to have a good shot at having a nice swim to remember in the off season. |

Expert 630 Frisco TX (DFW area) | Subject: RE: Monster Tri You did what most are doing - so that they can get to the front of the pack - it seems many put a time that is not a realistic number - at the Blackland Tri last week I saw people with single digit numbers doing the side stroke, it is hard not to yell at them but I believe many just don't know. |

Champion 5575 Butler | Subject: RE: Monster Tri The advantage of the pool in Keller is it is so wide you can fit 3 people across so even with people giving bad times there is generally not a big problem. However, if it was a 25 meter pool with 2 way traffice it could turn into a big cluster. I have yet to do a 25 meter pool swim, luckily Blackland changed at the last minute. I did not realize it was suppose to be short course when I signed up or I might have skipped it. |

Expert 1139 Austin | Subject: RE: Monster Tri I didn't have any trouble getting around anyone in the pool, the lanes were certainly wide enough. The water was pretty warm compared to what I was training in which put me off a bit but then again I'm not much of a speed demon in the water with my 6:45ish. |

Regular 142 | Subject: RE: Monster Tri Hey everyone. This is my first post here but also, the monster was my first ever tri. I didn't do great, but hey, I was proud of myself that I finished! It was a great race and I am glad it seems like a good intro race for me. Me and my friends (who also did this with me) are now hooked and looking at starting early next season :-) |
