Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Threadkdlsch111 - 2010-02-15 11:08 AM Lost sheep- You cant. This race director doesnt list participant lists. You just have to email him. I did find out that the transition area this year has been asphalted and grasss sewn in areas where there were rocks last year. Also, it has been expanded to comfortably handle the 3500 bikes, (per the RD). One very interesting thing. It sounds as if they might extend the swim to make it longer somehow. Personally thought it was short last year, but that's just my opinion. The transition area has not been asphalted, grass has not been sown, and the area has not been expanded in anyway. I walked across that field today and nothing has changed since it was used as as T1/T2 last year. I'm not sure where the RD came up with his info, but it definitely has not been done. And, IMHO it's very unlikely that the area will be paved or enhanced anytime soon, Augusta has way too many other pressing infrastructure issues than to spend money on a field that is used so infrequently. It is used for multiple rowing regattas throughout the year, but other than the HIM it's not really utilized except as a parking area for boaters using the ramp. |
