I'M IN!!! (for the SPRINT!)

It will only be my second sprint ever. HA! Seeing as my last 2 races were a marathon and HIM, it may not be pretty. AND seeing as I was told yesterday (at HIT) that it probably is not the best time to be racing in our training cycle, it may DOUBLY not be pretty.

BUT I really want to just come out and see ya'll and have a GOOD TIME and try my best!

It'll be FUN!

Oxofthedessert - 2008-09-15 9:33 PM True that. Now why did I get married while in college again?

WOOT! Jen's in!!! That probably means Robot's in as well, so we will have a nice Cool Kids crew out there.

Even though I look EVEN MORE like 2 pigs wrestling in a spandex sleeping bag in our tri uniforms, I will wear my ESCKTC gear for the sake of the team!! Hope everyone else is as well!!!

I'm in as well for the Oly. My transitions suck so I figured I might as well lessen the impact of them No I just need to see if I still have enough endurance to keep going throughout.

OHH that is my favorite part of Steel Magnolias:

"Looks like two pigs wrestling in a blanket"

And no, I have seen you and SORRY, no pretending to be fatty McFatty. BUUUT I know what the uni's do for the physique. All this hard work just for us to look a little, umm, not soo sexylicious in them. I told Josh I was just going to do iron on ESCKTC letters on my fav tri top! But no, we'll be sportin the team kit.

Paulette...did you look at the bike route? Do we go over those light rail tracks?  If so, have you emailed them to ask if there is going to be anything covering them?

Do we think that it will be wetsuit legal? I figure it will not as I have just gotten a shinny new suit that I am dying to try!

I read on the athlete guide that they are going to make the decision about whether the race is wetsuit legal on Saturday during packet pickup.

I got a reminder email from active about Nathan's this weekend and apparently this is what I need to bring:

Sunglasses
Hat
Sunscreen
Post Event Snack
Plenty of Can-Do Attitude


Should be interesting to swim bike run in just sunglasses, hat and lots o sunscreen everwhere else. But at least I will have my "Can-Do" attitude to pull me through. I think the Valdora will be lonely though.

I will have 2 large tents setup near the Bike mount/dismount area for FCA Endurance. Everyone is welcome to join in the shade! I will try to bring a cooler with plenty of water too.

does nathans use the timing chips that have the ankle strap or is it the kind where I need to get my own strap?

I can't remember.  99% of races supply the strap.  If they don't there are always vendors there selling them.  Either way you can remedy the situation on Saturday if you don't have one.

Most of the time they have a crappy strap you can use.

My recommendation is to get a RoadID (which is good for your bike rides anyway) and then use that during races for those that don't provide straps or provide the crappy ones.
