It's just wrong that the Chattanooga group is more active that this one!  We need to work on that!

How is everyone doing?  Have you completed your last big ride and run or do you have that coming up this weekend?

You can but there is very little room to turn around there.  You'll want to look at the situation when you are at T1 on Friday but the parking lot there is pretty much bus turnaround only so you'll probably need to walk a block or two if you are dropped off.  Nothing major but do not plan to use that parking lot.

Yes, you can put your wetsuit on at the start -- many people do.  A lot of folks pull the legs on before getting on the shuttle from T1. 

I do not believe that there is a bag drop off at the swim start any longer.  I am hoping that there is a place to put donation items though (so if you wear something you can have it donated to Goodwill or whatever).  Does anyone know if that is the case?  I did the B2B full in 2011 but not last year.

Yes, there are freshwater (warm water) showers on the dock at the swim exit.  You run through the showers so they are not crowded at all.  I would be very surprised if there is a wait for the showers.  There are also wetsuit strippers on the dock.

Did you ever get this to work?  When I got my tickets, I ended up emailing the B2B folks and they had to set me up.  I used the web form on the B2B site.

Trying to figure out race morning logistics.  I'm staying at a house in Wilmington that is about a 30 minute drive from T1.  I'm guessing that I won't need any shuttles sans the one that takes us from T1 to Swim Start.

As for training, I haven't been following any set plan - mostly just racing myself into fitness.  I'm looking at next weekend (12th/13th) for my last long run and long bike.

Hoping to see my Athlete Guide soon.

 Some people drive to the Hilton and park in the deck across the street and then take the shuttle to T1.  That means that when you finish, your car is already there.  If you have a driver (who is willing to get up and take you), though, you could obviously just get dropped off at T1.

Good point about getting onto the island.  Are they still working on the bridge?  If so, that will make it even more challenging :-(

This.  My brother is going to be there with me, and will be dropping me off (even if he doesn't know it, yet ).

We'll probably park someplace at T1 in case he wants to watch us come out of the water, but then he'll have the car (we're driving down from Ohio) the rest of the day while I'm out there.

THREE WEEKS!!!!!!!

Yes, see answer #3 in the General section.

Wow, if we're allowed to cut that corner, that would be HUGE.... but, I can't see it being allowed because that would dramatically shorten the course.  Looking at the legend on the swim map, that is marked as Turn Buoy, so I would have to expect that it must be passed on your left... otherwise, you could probably cut 1500' off the swim.

I mean, heck... the Half swimmers would be able to just cut straight across and turn it into a Sprint distance swim.  I suppose that it is a worthwhile question to be asked, but I think the answer is self-evident.
