Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread (Page 21)

I did the same thing.  The went on my race bike and then I ended up changing out to 3 other bikes after that.  The ride is sooooo much smoother on latex.  It might actually be helpful on the bumpy roads in Downtown Racine.  I have probably close to 7000 miles between 3 bikes with latex tubes over the last 3 years.  I've never had a flat on them. (knocking on wood!)  The only time I popped one was when I wasn't careful installing them one time.

Hi Leslie- Great Birthday Shirt, I love it!  All of the Birthday Wishes while you are on the course should make your race go by fast!  

Yes we are in the same wave more than likely, 7:38?  Our age group has 2 waves due to the size this year.  The run is super social too since it's a 2 lap and you see so many people so it will just fly by!

This looks like a great crowd!

Hey Amy!  Yup, I'm 738 start time too... I think we are wave #13.

DO you happen to know (so I can tell my family) where a good place to park is if they are coming mid-race?  Is there street parking and if so where?  I wasn't sure what roads would be closed off for the race and I want to make it as painless for them as possible to get to the beach area.

Goal Not to die on the side of the road

look for the shark tri bottoms and thats me

I don't remember the street names up there.  There is some parking near transition on the street but it's usually taken up by racers.  Last year they had locations of parking garages in the race info they emailed us.  So try checking there.  I think they were somewhere on the main street downtown Racine and you can walk to transition from there. 

Street parking in the neighborhood is always an option but can get pretty slim.  South of transition along Michigan and Reichert there is a gravel lot that has been open for parking in the past.  If you google map North Beach Racine and make it a satellite view you can actually see the gravel lot.  Don't hold me to it but it's likely it will be open again.  Hope this is helpful.

Thanks... yeah... I just saw these but was thinking athletes might grab these first... NOt sure if this is extra for spectators or not

I'm in!

Have to look up my bib later...

I assume our bikes are out all day Saturday and all night Saturday in transition once we check-in.. what are people doing the morning of the race if it rains Saturday?  Quick chain cleaning?  Woohoo. 

It's going to be a hot one, .

Water temp. in Racine today was between 72.2 to 75.3.

I'm getting excited!
