Subject: RE: Memorial Herman Town Lake OlympicYay for short post race walks! I've wondered if some teenagers could make good money as tri valets - they could carry our stuff to our car, rack our bike and bring everything to us. LOL I used to have my own tri valet (husband ) but he is racing now so neither of us want to go get the car. I am sure you'll make the decision that makes the most sense and is safest but I sold a gal at my pool on doing the long version the other day telling her you'd likely have the 300 folks go last for safety reasons - I mean if you are going to do 300 rather than 1500 you aren't too confident in your swim, been there. She got into tri's because of me and I told her she could do the 1500, she has spent a lot of time in the water but she lacks confidence. She is worried if she does the 1500 she'll be one of the last out of the water and will be running when it is hottest so she was going to do the 300 to avoid that. Trying to encourage her to push herself I told her the 300 folks would likely go last. Shows what I know. I see your concern with cutting the course since it is 2 loops but I would think this would fall under the "older women last because they swim slow" OUL 'rule'. I would imagine having 2 different lengths and 2 loops makes logistics interesting. Edited by KeriKadi 2010-08-26 9:53 PM
