Pro  3894      Austin, Tejas |  Subject: RE: LongHorn Triathlon Festival - Half IronKEJ - 2008-09-23 4:21 PM Here's the answers...LOTS OF PEOPLE compared to last year. There were 950 last year. There are 2300+. Transition is MUCH bigger as well. There are special needs bags. the HOOPLA is more than Clearwater, IMO. We have 8 bands on course, a highschool marching band, DJ, themed aid stations, sponge stations, towel stations, and a few other surprises. Honestly, I think we may have too much going on out there. We have bleachers at the finish line this year, that are COVERED with tents, to keep the spectators cool. We're really fired up for the race, as you can probably tell  Blake Manor and Littig do have some cracks. They weren't there two months ago. Basically, since it hasn't rained here in months, the ground underneath has continued to contract, which is cracking the roads. Blake Manor was immaculate 2 months ago, which is why I chose to go down it. We'll have volunteers out there, too. Most of the course is free of cracks, it's only in a few areas. Some of the potholes we're going to fill personally with coldpatch. We'll spray chalk the cracks. Since you change/grab your stuff at your bike rack, we don't have bike handlers. Not really a need. The only 70.3 that does this is the 70.3 Championships. We're already receiving supplies. 10 pallets of water coming tomorrow, 8,000 powergels and 4000 powerbars just showed up. Hats and medals arrived, towels just showed up too.... Packets are being stuffed....Trucks are being loaded. Set up at the race site starts a week from today Any chance a volunteer can purchase one of those hats?? Last year's were very cool. |

Member 26 | Subject: RE: LongHorn Triathlon Festival - Half Iron Guess what? I'm in for the Longhorn relay! I'll be swimming while mom23 does the bike and run. Due to an unexpected crash (when are they expected?), mom23 can't swim due to an infection but can still bike and run. I'm so stoked! Now it's time for a quick team name. Any ideas from anyone? Keith, I have been following these threads about this race for a long time now. Because I hadn't signed up for it, I hadn't commented but maybe a few times. I have been SO impressed with the efforts you have taken to make this a stellar event. So much that I have already committed to making this my "A" race next year- my first half Ironman (I wrote it, I guess I'm committed). If you're not careful, this could turn into the very first Ironman distance location in Texas with you at the helm. Sail on, Captain! |

Whatever Britt! Those of us that know you, know you would NEVER sabotage a thing...you would go out of your way to help your own competition if they needed it! I at least can say I was roomies with Britt when she did her very first tri...where she still brought home the hardware. I can't wait to see how you do, girl!

I wouldnt be surprised to see some Shiner at the aide stations along the run route. This is Texas after all! They had one at the Houston Marathon, but I think it was Budweiser. I thought people were joking about it, turns out it was for real. |
