Champion  10019  , Minnesota Bronze member |  Subject: RE: Liberty TriathlonHa ha! I have the same perfect world! I totally agree. At least if it does rain, it will be about 40 degrees warmer than it was in April! Farlig - 2010-06-08 11:05 AM As much as I disliked the rain at the Ironman ride, the wind was what killed it for me. On Saturday, I'll tolerate a little rain (so long as my running shoes don't get too squishy), just as long as the wind behaves itself for the bike. In a perfect world the temps would stay in the mid-60s with overcast skies and a 5-10mph breeze. Then again, in a perfect world I would average 27mph on the bike, pull in 5:30 splits on the run and not have to worry about finishing before the awards ceremony was done. *sigh* |

Extreme Veteran 664 Minneapolis | Subject: RE: Liberty Triathlon rcntly4298 - 2010-06-09 11:16 AM Can the race be moved to Sunday? Its going to suck on Saturday. Do they stop the race if there is lightening? 1.) I don't see a slip to Sunday being possible - volunteer schedules, road closures, permits etc etc simply wouldn't permit it 2.) Yes, it looks like it is indeed going to suck. Bring a trash bag to put your transition bag in. 3.) Yes, the swim will almost certainly be canceled if lightning is a threat, and the other events may too (depending on how severe). I'm trying to stay positive here, but that forecast keeps getting worse & worse... Cheers, Chris |

Expert 1092 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: Liberty Triathlon Yeah, I was part of a duathlon (no swimming involved) last spring where we had a late start because of lightening. So let's hope for none on Saturday. And I agree with a lot of you - some light rain on the run would be GREAT! Those little rolling hills on that bike trail where we run start to get WARM! See you all out there! My wife's doing the half (I'm just doing the Oly), so I'll be hanging around for quite some time afterwards. Hoping for a good BBQ!! |

Yea, I know its not going to happen. Anyone want to make a last minute road trip out to Boise? Weather looks perfect and the race is still open. |

Champion 10019 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Liberty Triathlon It's still only Wednesday, anything can change between now and then. I'd be okay with cancelling the swim, although I imagine the bike and run in those conditions would be scary. Maybe just a nice 10k and call it a day? Steve - I'll be looking for you after I'm finished with the Oly. Swing by the finish line around the 3 hour mark and cheer for me If and of you faster folks could run back up the Oly course and pace me back in I'd really appreciate it I'll be wearing the same black GWTC two-piece outfit that some of the faster girls wear. I always feel a little guilty wearing that, since I am so much slower than the other gals who sport it. But in the same sense, I hope it will provide me with some of their speed. So when you pass me on the run, say hi! Picture from Buffalo 2009, but I always have the same gear including hat: |

Champion 10019 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Liberty Triathlon Re: Meetup, nothing planned yet. How about meeting at 7:00? We could meet near the "Swim In" entrance to transition? That's the least confusing place I can think of, but I am open to suggestions. |

Pro 4541 A farming town in MN | Subject: RE: Liberty Triathlon I wrote off the long course since my daughter qualified for State prelims. I went to Running Room today in Eden Prairie and picked up my packet anyways and had them switch me to the Olympic distance JUST IN CASE my daughter didn't make it to finals in one event. I may see a few of you Saturday if that's the case. I'll have enough time to race and make it to Hamline for the other event. Look for the short (5' 6") Filipino in a blue General Mills tri top. |
