Question about CapTExTri

I think I asked before, but me being me, I forgot
Will I need a wetsuit for the swim and where to get/rent one? Jack and Adams doesn't rent them like I thought they did. I'm going to try some one tomorrow, but I don't want to/cannot afford a wetsuit now. And will there be a booth where I can rent one when I register on Sunday?
This will be my 2nd tri and I'm nervous again and full of questions. My first one the water temp was WONDERFUL and I had no need for a wetsuit. Now I'm in a panic
AAHHHHH
help please.


I know last year was wetsuit legal.

You can rent a Blue Seventy Energie from www.trisports.com. Call on Monday and you will have the wetsuit in plenty of time for the race. It's $65 with a $300 CC deposit. Once you return the wetsuit, you get a $65 credit with Tri Sports for 30 days- so you can buy some new tri gear!

Check out www.wetsuitrental.com also. They rent through active.com and are only $35. After shipping I think it comes to around $45 which is not too bad??? I think you have until Friday the 18th to rent from them and still get it in time for CAPTEX. Hope this helps as well....

I just cranked out a 1500 at masters...so I guess I'll survive. Just NOT looking forward to it. Need a wetsuit, worried about that...

Highly recommend one. Can you get a rental? If so, make sure you try it out. I'll be in Austin all weekend so if you have a place for some OWS practice let me know and I'll go with you.

D-

 Thanks for hosting.  I've been looking forward to this for a while.

Count me in for x3 too.  I can't wait to meet everyone.

 I actually have a 5th grade graduation on Sunday afternoon and will be running late and got permission to drop my bike off a little later but I will be there.

Thanks,

Count me IN!  I'm super excited as a new member to BT, this will be my first official 'meeting'!  Thanks for hosting...

 I'll be tagging along close to FreakBrick (a.k.a. Bill) since he seems to 'have a clue' and I have NONE!

Bill: I might need to take you up on that.
Dennis: Will you be serving adult beverages at your party? Or should I just bring my flask?

Okay. I'll catch up with you next week to sort it out.

You don't teach reading comprehension, do you? If you do, your students are in big trouble....

I just signed up for the First Tri Race, I would love to stop by and meet everyone, but I am still in the dog house for swimming on Mother's day so I think I best take my wife to dinner by ourselves (at the little one.)  I am doing this as a practice to the Metroplex sprint on June 10th and need ows practice after my first attempt.  The bike in the First Tri is really short though, only 10K.  I should hopefully be able to finish in less than 1hr.  Really wanted to do the sprint but think the 400 yard swim will be plenty.  I wish the bike was 10 or 12 miles though.  Oh well.  See everyone there.

Wish I could take you up on the Sunday evening pre-race party, but I'll be dragging around 4 young kids.  They would destroy the house before I could even say HI and leave.

I won't be able to make it to Sunday's gathering, but will there be a place where I can find y'all after the race??? I'd love to meet some Texas BT'ers.

(...see, I may live in Colorado, but I'm FROM Texas and still say y'all!)

I haven't made official plans for after the race but I know Hack won't make it out of Austin before he buys me my Bleu Cheese Bacon Burger when I win our bet. HA!!!

I'm thinking Chili's or Outback should be close.  I'll PM you my cell.  Anyone else is welcome too.  I'm sure they have healthy food for all you dedicated eaters out there.  

The more the merrier.

BAH! You can't go to Chili's or Outback when you'll be so close to Austin originals like Shady Grove, Chuy's, Hut's Hamburgers, etc, etc.

I'm going to Shady Groove after CapTex for Cheeseburger, it's a tradition.  And one of the few places that will take stinky athletes after a race!
