Full Vineman Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 29)

Since this thread is at the top again... I finally downloaded the pics from my camera.
Album is here if you want to see  

Thanks for sharing your album. After reading you race report I recall seeing you running with a fellow Oregonian during the run portion of the race. The unfortunate part was the fact he was an Oregon State Beaver and not a Univ. of Oregon Duck. I won't hold it against you. : )

I looks like you took advantage of the area and did some activities with your family. It was fun meeting you all.

Whoa haven't checked back here forever. Nice albums and videos! Was a good time except I really got bored the day after. I was definitely second guessing my decision to tell my friends and family to stay home at that point. Nice to meet you guys. I'm signed up for 2014 IMWI now...all of you should too

That is what it is there for. Happy it brought back good memories for you.

I am signing up for the Vineman Full 2014 and am looking for someone to do the "Buy One Get One Half Off" deal. I would like to sign up in November when it opens. Please let me know if anyone is interested.

I'm in.  Let's do it.

Was anyone wearing their gps on the bike? I am curious what the total elevation gain looked like, and I have seen wildly varying reports.

Here's a elevation view I did on a training ride for the 70.3. On the iPad and can't figure out how to insert the image. http://imageshack.com/a/img819/7383/vinemanelevationspeed.jpg. And here's a post with commentary I did after my first ride there: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... The full is basically two loops with what you see here containing all the challenging bits. I road the course again last week just for fun as it is grape harvest season on my new P2, so the first time on a tri bike. The tri bike is definitely the right choice now that I've done both. Happy to answer any questions you may have. I'll be doing the full there next year so will be riding it with some frequency between now and then.
