Keep your fingers crossed!!!! Lake temps are heading down, too.... We're really fired up for the race! Lots o' surprises lined up, too. The good kind of surprises  When you say lake temps are heading down... just how far down? Any realistic shot at being wetsuit legal? Just curious... |

Dont forget that the power plant uses the lake for cooling. |

On the bright side the fish in the lake have 3 tails, so if you can grab ahold of one you should be able to finish the swim in record time. |

Can anyone tell me if the rental car are on site at the Austin airport or do I need to get a shuttle (which will be a pain lugging my bike)? Thanks. I believe it is right at the airport - you will have to walk up one level to the garage across the airport. |

Member 63 | Subject: RE: LongHorn Triathlon Festival - Half Iron To all those who are nervous, you have two things to remember. Endorfun Sports puts on a great event with terrific support, thanks to Keith and many others. My first HIM was in Galveston this past March with Keith and it couldn't have gone smoother. Second, remember that if you not a little nervous about an event then that probably means you really don't care about it in your heart. Its not you body that is going to take you to the finish line its what is in your heart and mind, and a passionate heart, and desire will take you farther than any training can ever. Its good to be nervous before big events. |
