The only issue is will there still be drunks out on the run course to cheer you on? |

I worked a lot of homicides over the years and was fortunate to never have to go out on one involving a child. Hang in there. |

Talk on the Choo FB site that a pro said at his/her meeting the RD said swim may be canceled b/c of high Ecoli in the river. Flashbacks to 2018! If so, at least they will get nice weather for the rest of the race. |

Member 836 North Augusta, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!! Just got home from Augusta 70.3. I had a lovely 13 mile bike ride behind the 3rd place pro male as their "escort" (it's really to let the crowd know who the leaders are on the 2 lap course). My 1st 3rd place pro, Jason West, came out of T21 on fire & made up a 1:40 gap in 6 miles (he was running a 5:10-ih pace). His run was so impressive to watch. Once he moved into 2nd, my new guy was Tim Reed. He was in the hurt locker pretty bad & almost made 2 wrong turns. Saw Tim O'Donnell pushing both kids in a stroller while Rinny was on the run. There was a medical event during the swim. I was by transition when the med team flew by in a gator. They were doing chest compressions on the man & continued after getting him in the ambulance. The ambulance didn't leave for a good 10 minutes, so I don't know if that was a good thing (maybe got a heart rhythm back?) Or a bad thing. Weather was perfect. Low humidity & high of 81. |

Member 667 | Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!! I just signed up for the Oregon 70.3 in July. I'll be doing the swim and the bike and our friend Tim is doing the run. Karen, I may be coming up with questions for you! As in, I know they said there is no morning clothes drop at the swim start, but do you remember if they have a special needs drop for glasses? |

Master 8248 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!! Welcome to Oregon! I'll probably do the race again unless things are really back to normal for travel (which I somehow doubt) and Mom wants to do a Canada or overseas trip at that time. It's a beautiful course, normally the weather is great that time of year (it was a bit hotter than usual this year), and hopefully they will iron out the swim start issues. There actually DID end up being a morning clothes drop at the start (positioned maybe 300-400 yards away) although it had said in the online info there wouldn't be. Apparently they got pushback on that, set one up, and announced the change at the pre-race briefing the day before. Welcome news as otherwise they would have had thousands of discarded flip-flops.....It really was at least 1.2 miles (if not further) walk to the start, and I'm guessing a lot of people balked at doing it in throw-away shoes before a HIM. I'd just planned to sacrifice a very old pair of running shoes. So my guess is even if they don't have a special needs drop, you could put the glasses in a hard case and put them at the clothes drop, assuming you had another pair for the bike/run legs. I didn't see any vehicles at the start--it's off a bike path--so not sure how they would get special needs to T1 before the swimmers finish?? Edited by Hot Runner 2021-09-26 5:56 PM |
