Veteran 246 Racine, WI | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine Half Ironman Triathlon Due to Medical Issues - i will not be able to participate in the Spirit of Racine HIM. Without going into much detail - i am pretty much cancelling all my races for this year. It is difficult to miss Racine since it is my hometown race. It was the first tri i registered for and i don't want to jeopardize my health any further and have it be the LAST tri i ever participate in. I will see you all down there Saturday and Sunday. Good Luck to all |

Walk, shuttle? You get your wetsuit on sometime from Transition until the starting point. It's a nice 3/4 of a mile (within) walk along the beach. No foolin'. You can say that's almost your warmup. |

Extreme Veteran 684 Racine, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine Half Ironman Triathlon Anyone needing a meeting point ,parking spot ,place to rest while your friends or family members race, or just want a place to hang out on Saturday or Sunday I’m opening our house up for use. We have the “essentials” to offer, refrigerator (and anything you can find edible or drinkable inside), coolers, bathrooms, lawn space, secure garage, kiddie pool, chairs, it ‘s up to you if any of these things will make the day easier.
We are located at 508 Romayne Ave, Racine, WI 53402 Home phone 262-639-2198 Cell phone 414-975-7676 or 262664-1798 (wife’s phone-paula)
Walking time (with stroller) down to the transition area/finish line is 18 minutes (seems like 5minutes)
I’m doing the sprint on Saturday and then departing for the Alpine Jimmy Buffett concert around 2:00. So access on Saturday to the house will not be all day.
On Sunday I will be up bright and early to looking forward to cheering everyone on. Someone will be at the house all day . |

They are assigned to some degree, I can't remember how though, I just remember not liking my position...They were assigned by bib number, so no jockeying for a good transition spot. Rack space was pretty dang tight too, though I was lucky -- I was at the end of the rack, and the person directly opposite me never showed up. |

I'll go to the old adage that it's better to be undertrained than overtrained. I've been seriously slacking on my training since the debacle that was Kansas 70.3 and I'm pretty confident for Sunday. I'm a BOPer as it is, so I don't have any expectations but to cross the finish line sometime in the 7:45-8:15 range. |

DO IT!!!!! I signed up for Kansas HIM the day before the race...glad I did!! Sometimes races end up being better when doing them on a whim. You don't have time to be anxious or nervous! |
