Just registered!

I'm registered.  Can't wait!!!!  This will be my second Tri!!!

I signed up today!!! Love this race. Hopefully we will really get to swim this year!!!!

I signed up last week. Can't wait either... especially to get out there and do some training. The bike course is quite a bit shorter this year - only 10 miles (see the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL3KwqE3VJY 

I created a map of the bike course: http://bit.ly/9ybPme

I was pretty bummed to see that they took out the RT 85 hill...that was the best part!!!!

Yah! How many loops shall we do? 7? :-)

That's it, I'm out!!!  And it has nothing to do with the swim

WHA?  I was psyched to be able to tackle that again without the headwind!

So we can count on you coming out for an early OWS!!!!!

At least!!!

I'll definately come out for as many OWS's you want to do early in the season, just don't want to race in sub 60 degree water!!!  Nearly died last year.

It looks like they shortened it too AND took out the hill?!?  That's going to be a screaming fast bike course...

If i remember correctly, the road you take out of the back of the park is uphill but I don't remember it being that bad and that was really it in terms of climbing until the climb up to 85.  They're gonna have to lay down nail strips and install speed bumps to slow you all down!!

I'm just getting back into training and will do 1 run through. However, if you folks are up for more than one go for it. 

We also need volunteers to watch our bikes while we go for a run? Can we get our family and friends to help out? Any questions, just ask?

 

does anyone know if this event usually sells out?

im planning on entering but haven't yet, and wondering if i need to get on that asap or risk losing my spot...

Last year it sold out in the last week of April.  But this year, it's an official team race of both Wheelworks and Dreamfar tri teams, so you might want to aim to get in on it in early April to be safe.

What're you waiting for??? 

Yeah, what are you waiting for!!!!!!!

eta- it's also the official race of the BB Mentor Group.  We need to get the other Boston folks to enter the race.  Seren, that's your job

This is a reminder that we will be meeting for brick-run interval training on Saturday, March 6th at 12:00. All levels are welcome. So come on newbies join in on the fun because oo one will be left behind.

Anyone want to ride longer on March 6, say 2-3 hours and either run after wards or not? Possibly meeting at noon or earlier and come back and meet up with others at noon. I'm flexible.

I have a HIM in April so need to get some longer rides in.
