Master  9705     Raleigh, NC area |  Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!!Originally posted by amd723 [ Honestly, I'm not sure that Ann-Marie and Lisa and Kathy have totally forgiven me for making them do the Lake Logan bike route  (the oly is flat, the HIM is very much not flat).haha, the HIM bike course is no joke! But I enjoyed it -perhaps because I didn't have to run 13.1 afterward Poor Kathy, she didn't know it at the time, but she had a torn hip labrum and blood clots, so she had a difficult time with those hills. I knew something was up when I passed her on the bike - she is a much stronger cyclist than I am.
Well, you said you wanted it to be wet suit legal! ETA, my notes say 63, much colder under the bridge Edited by jmkizer 2021-04-26 10:22 AM |
The temp of the swim is what killed me. If I ever was to attempt it again I'd have to find someplace to swim with freezing water, which is hard to do for an August race when all water temps around me are close to 90*!| 2021-04-26 10:18 AM in reply to: jmkizer |

This is one I hadn't heard of before from Endurance Sports - Fall Creek Falls - probably not wet suit legal looking at the sole swim photo on this website. But something I'll keep in my back pocket for next year! |

But something I'll keep in my back pocket for next year! I thought that ESM did a nice job with AtomicMan and I think that Nancy had good things to say about Goose Pond. I just did not thought that Kinetic, etc. would be way higher on Robin's list for various reasons. |

Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!! Originally posted by melbo55 Well, manatees, I did it! I passed my American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification! I'm left knackered and a bit sore and beat up but certified. While I'm not currently in horrible shape, I'm certainly not in my usual tri (or hockey) shape. This might be a warning to get back on the task. Congratulations! |

Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!! I had to make a command decision. Not really, a global pandemic and near halt in the global supply chain made the decision for me. It is highly unlikely the new bike will be done before June. They are only waiting for the crankset, bracket, chain and cassette, with no definite delivery date and telling new orders 2022. I decided (was forced because I don't want to walk 112 miles) to have the old Cervelo P2 fixed. The chain guard on my from derailleur snapped off and I have to replace it and a few small repairs. Fortunately, there in little demand for DuraAce 105 components. |

Master 8250  Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!! Andreas says P2's rock! He has now not been ridden outside since Ironman Malaysia in November 2018 (and that was only the third time I ever rode him outdoors--once around a parking lot a few times and then once in an Oly in Oregon before the IM. Yes, really.) He and I are beginning to wonder if his entire life will be spent indoors. |

Member 836 North Augusta, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!! RE: Goose Pond Swim will likely NOT be wetsuit legal. The lake is very shallow and it warms up quickly. LOVED the bike. Rolling & pretty. The run was HOT with rolling hills. Granted, in 2019 when I raced it, it went from low 80s to 99 degrees the week of the race. It's a small race, but well run. I highly advise driving the run & learning where the cut through from the campground to the backside out & back is. |

My P2 says you can never retire a P2! P2's are a workhorse. Mine is slated to go to D2, once the new one arrives. She has race a few triathlons and is interested in doing it again once she is done with school. She has a really nice rail trail by her apartment that goes into Chicago that she plans to ride on. |

Smooth swim in a canal, pretty flat bike, finish the run by Niagara falls. I am not sure how it is going to look this year ... but it is not ironman branded and very popular here. |
