St Paul Tri Roll Call (Page 2)

Sorry, here's the description from the active.com website:

*The RUN is a 3.1 miles around Lake Phalen clockwise. Intl. Distance make two loops. There is a water stop at each mile on the run.

I just found some new information on the web site:

Packet Pickup Saturday, August 16 11:00 - 5:00 at County Cycle

and

6:15 a.m. - 7:15 a.m. on Race Day at the Park

New to BT. From Hopkins.

I'm signed up for the oly. Looking forward to it. Did the sprint last year.

Me too.  I completely over running at this point and just want to ride my bike.  Fortunately a friend has dragged me out for several OWS that I wouldn't have done otherwise.  I think my Oly run is going to be a totaly disaster.  I assume it's at least pretty flat, going around the lake.

The cool part about this race is that it goes very near my Grandma's house on Larpenteur, just off of Wheelock Parkway.  So my dad is going to bring her over to the corner on Larpenteur and they will sit and watch the bike on lawnchairs.  How great we get to go by twice!  So if you see a tiny old lady with "blond" hair with her 65 year old son, give them a wave.

I just looked at the diagram of the bike route. When you click on that map to zoom, you can start to make out street names. The only problem is that it looks as if the sharp corner that you make as you start to head back towards T2 puts us in the middle of the lake.

I think he has us going on Shore drive for the turnaround, but that's not where his hand-drawn line is. Can anyone who's done this course before comment?

This race is going to be a disaster for me, but oh well. I just barely got under 3:00 last year, but the swim was short. I'll be absolutely shocked if I can do that this year.

I got an e-mail from Randy and the race site is updated with full details now. 

And not that anyone cares, but I realized I was wrong when I identified the location of my Grandma's spectating spot.  She lives on Edgerton, so they will be on Edgerton and Wheelock.  You'd think I would remember that since she's lived there since like 1948.

For all you BT'ers! come talk to me if you see me, i will have a white orbea tri-bike, white tri top - black (imagine that!) tri shorts, (21 yo male), i will be lonely as i am going alone to this tri, so come be my friend !!

Edited: my avatar has the get-up i will be wearing.  

I'll be the 6'6" guy with the white Javelin bike wearing a red/white Tyr top.

Rich 

You'll see me, I'll have two tattoos on my legs(1 of a bull, the other with russian lettering) and one big one on my arm and maybe passed out with how hot it will be.

See ya there

Weather.com shows 62 degrees at 6am and 72 degrees at 9am.  I wouldn't mind it a bit cooler, myself.

Good luck all - hope to see many of you.

For a meeting place, there is a deck on the east side of the pavillion, perhaps this is a good meeting spot during the pre-race mtg? 

Also, has anyone been out to Phalen - Weeds and/or Water Temp update?

Good Luck to all ! !
