Subject: RE: St. Anthony's Triathlon : Official ThreadTRAFFIC WARNING --- WARNING --- WARNINGGuys, there will be a huge congestion on I-275 in the Tampa area all weekend long. If you need to cross from anywhere east of Downtown Tampa into St Pete from the East side - coming in the direction from Orlando, I suggest you take I-75 S and cross over the Skyway. It is longer route but you will only add 15-20 minutes. 275 (3-4 lanes in either direction ) will have 2-3 lanes closed. I would starting tonight. Unless you want to leave today and get there on Sunday morning, AVOID this stretch of road. Another alt. is elevated expressway but my guess is that'll be most other people's 1ary choice. BTW: gulf water on FRIDAY AM is 75F, meaning bay water should be 78-79 - too close to threshold, I say bring your wetsuits, chances are you'll be allowed to wear it. Good luck to every one, especially BTers. Kick sum butt! Especially your own shadow's. |
