ESCKTC OWS/RUN/DRINK Brickapalooza III *2009* (Page 2)

sportyj - 2009-04-06 3:06 PM I WILL BE THERE! STEVEO - WITH your bike!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't expect swimming...I am thinking bike hill repeats.

Can you do hill repeats in your swimsuit?  Just asking.

Too much going on this Thurs. Seriously hoping to make the time next week.

But I wouldn't mind eating here again.

I still need to change my back tire if I can remember how to do that. (Can I still call myself a triathlete if I haven't swam in 6months or more?)

Sorry folks.  1st OWS and months ago I was scheduled to time for the track meet.  IF I can finish by 5 I'll come out to BJC but can't be for sure.  Good luck and don't let a boat run into you.

Who's wearing at wet suite tomorrow? I'm bringing it but not sure if I'll wear it. I probably should because 1) it will probably be cold, 2) I've only swam in it once.

BTW, what time should we be ready to swim at? 5:30? That would give us like 45 minutes of swim time before sun set.  

Be ready to hit the water by 5:30 pm. 

The swims usually starts out shorter to allow enough daylight to run the hill, but it is your call.  In the past it was a custom to swim out to the buoys and meet up, then swim either a short loop or wide loop and meet each loop to gossip, chat, re-count heads.  Wet suits do more than protect from cold, they help in this tread water time frame.  In addition, if you have little time in one this is the opportunity to train in your gear.

Free beer is always good beer so due paying is providers choice!

For those that forgot what I look like, I am the huge handsome hunk of a guy that will probably show up on his motorcycle with limited gear in the saddlebags.  We tend to park on the far side of the parking loop by the furthest bathroom. (Bring your own paper as Chris usually does not share!)

It can be done without a wetsuit. It's not pleasant, but it can be done. I've done it a couple of times already this year and Milton's been doing in for a couple of months now. It's been warmer this week, so the water might even be a little warmer than it was Sunday when I was there.

I think there are a couple of people going tonight without wetsuits
