Columbia Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 3)

Ah, thanks for the update

 All major traffic intersections are controlled by the local police.  The only big area you have to be concerned with is the Green Bridge road.  Its a hard down hill sharp left turn.  Police are at this intersection but just with the degree of the turn you need to be cautious.

Welp, we got the instructions email and wave assignments, much more real now.  Am I reading correctly that bike inspection isn't mandatory this year?  I thought I read earlier that they were doing it.  Just want to make sure I'm not missing something.  TIA

I wanted to invite everyone here to our little BT dinner party

Hey gang, I'm not racing this year, but am volunteering.  Went to the Mid Maryland Tri Club meeting at Princeton Sports last night and picked up a couple nuggets of info:

• Bike inspections not mandatory this year
• The Tuesday night Princeton ride is unofficially still happening.  It's an unadvertised, fast ride, for advanced riders only.  I think it's going off at 6:00.  It is NOT a no-drop ride.

That's all I got for now.

current pro list .. few good names .. terenzo vs lovato vs the kid, yoder, my pick terenzo, .. i think wassner for the ladies

I think Yoder is going to kill it.  SHould be fun to see what times he posts.

fortunately, i just missed the hold up, but saw they guy.....yikes.  i hope he was okay.

Looks like Chris Lieto has Columbia Triathlon listed on his schedule on his website.  Although I like Yoder to take it this year, if Lieto is in fact there he's going to kill the bike course, just as he did last year.  He'll have to then prove it on the run, something he's been struggling with as of late.  Regardless, all the pros are class acts.  Can't wait for next Sunday!!!
