gmoilanen - 2009-05-30 8:40 PM My first. Nervous. Anxious. Ladies, what do you do with your hair for the swim? i have long hair. Pony? Peel off the thing that makes me look like a black Michelan Man. Socks, Shoes, Chap Stick, Belt, Glasses, Helmet, GO! (I'm studying) Am I missing anything? Susan
Hey Susan, put your hair in a pony with clips for the  bangs if you need it. When finished with the swim your hair should be ok for your bike helmet. I'm just guessing, this is my first also and am nervouse and excited.  See you in the morning.

 

Karen



Just make sure it's a lower ponytail- think about where your bike helmet comes down to. I made that mistake on my first race, and had to mess around with my ponytail to re-adjust it under my helmet.

Nice job everyone!  Race results are now on Active.com (thought the Hawk I Tri site hasn't been updated yet).  You can find them here: http://results.active.com/pages/page.jsp?pubID=3&eventLinkageID=73298&year=2009

Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet everyone before the race, I was too busy figuring out what to do.  Hopefully next time...

Don't worry,  we figured you were wearing yellow bottoms and a black top. (since I was wearing a yellow top and black bottoms).

I hope to meet you at a future race..

I never made it over to the tent to meet folks; it was a bit overwhelming to me!  I did see Kristen, who I'd met in the past, so that was nice.  I'm just so happy to have finished my first tri.  WAY COOL!  Hopefully I'll meet folks at another time this summer!

Great to see everyone.  Thanks to the Greyhounds for letting me linger near your tent.  Kristen thanks for setting up your tent.  I ended up 6 minutes and 37 seconds faster than last year (although my swim was slowerFrown).  All in all a great day.

Now, Flirt with Dirt on 6/13, and then the decision...

Big Fish or Kensington???

I had loads of fun!  If I were to thank all of the persons who made this race ultra-cool (in my opinion), we'd be here a LOOOONG time.  If you were either a MI-BT RAWK squadder and/or one of the Greyhound gang, you would probably be on such a list.

Many thanks for making this first time so enjoyable.  On to next week!  Laughing

I kept looking around at the various tents...and I must be blind because I didn't fine any banner for Racing Greyhounds so I didn't have a chance to meet any of you! So I just hung around with my friend and teammates from Team In Training!

I had a great experience though! Even if my swim leg epitomized the phrase 'epic fail'!!!! LOL I learned a LOT though. I wish I could do his tri again next week!!!!!

Anyways...hopefully I'll get a chance to meet some of you folks soon. The weekday workouts pretty much don't work for me...and I have the Ann Arbor tri coming up this weekend. But maybe next weekend!

slowpoke, the Greyhound compound will be set up at Ann Arbor, as well.  I am going to use your quote about the missing banner to try to convince the owner that one banner will not work for three teams (the mtn bike team had it this weekend).  In any case, look for the bright blue tent with KHS in yellow on it.  Or, follow a team member around.  We are hard to miss in our snazzy black tri jerseys.

By the way, great job to everyone doing this race yesterday, and major kudos to all of you first-timers!  I was sooo jealous you had such perfect weather for it! 

It was good to meet those of you that I did and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet more of you over there under Kristen's tent.  I was pretty busy chasing my G'Hounds.

I will hopefully be posting my photos up today.

ah blurg!!! i saw and walked near the KHS tent several times!!!!!!!! but i didn't notice anyone in the RG kits...probably because my head was spinning with the newness of everything!

i'll find the KHS tent at the Ann Arbor tri though. forecast currently calls for rain. what happens at tri's when it rains? we just swim run bike in the rain?

I did it!! I completed my first tri and don't have to sign in under GDOG's name anymore.

Thanks to Kristen and the Greyhounds for letting George and I hang out at their tents. The changing tent was great!

I so appreciate all the kind words of encourangement from all of you!

Anyone joining George and I for the Motor City Sprint on 6/14?
