Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by JBacarella I qualified for USAT age group Sprint Nationals. Has anyone ever done it? I'm toying with the idea, because it's in Wisconsin (a mere 8 hour drive) plus we have neighbors that live there ( living in a resort community, my "subdivision" has 17 houses, but 3 full time residents, so I have neighbors from all over the country) , so it might be fun to go see them. I just don't know what to expect from it. ive qualifies, but never done Nationals, so I think you should do it and let me know how it is! |

I've probably heard other things, too, but can't think of them right now. |

Have a great race, Jen! Happy early birthday, Stacey! i was kind of eh about this race , so am not to disappointed not to be racing; but I do feel badly for those people signed up for the longer distances- especially the full.Right now the race hasn’t actually been called, i think they are looking to see if they can do a later start ( which would put my sprint that is currently scheduled to start at 9:30) to who knows when; but whatever time it may go off it should mean rain and wind. This is a really hilly course, so the bike could be treacherous! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by jmkizer Racing Manatees!!! I am participating in a 30km trail race. Which may get shortened by me to 17km (the 'halfway' point) because I am woefully undertrained, have no trail shoes (couldn't find a pair that fit well/didn't make my feet hurt) and it has been pouring for days.... Good luck Jen and/or Hands if you decide to race. Happy early birthday Stacey! |

I think the tornado warnings that are in effect til 12 was the final nail in the race coffin! |

Thanks Jim, I saw this too; but I was only doing a sprint, not the full Great Floridian, so I will not be taking advantage of this offer! If I had swum more than a mile and biked more than 30 miles in the last couple of months I may have been tempted, but... |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hello Manatees! My race yesterday went well. My main goal was to go under 2 hours. Definitely did that - came in just less than a minute faster than my late winter half this year. Such an amazing day out. Almost hot, dare i say it. The Niagara Falls race ended up on the same day as the Waterfront Marathon in Toronto which is attempting to be a mega race. It was pretty small and my 1:57 time put me in the top 100 ladies. I definitely enjoyed the course - pancake flat, along a river. It's not a ton of spectators but at this point in my racing it's not what i crave. It's pretty cool as it finishes right next to the falls - and it's a great beacon on the way because you can see the mist from it for a long way so you know you are headed the right way!

It's also interesting to note that not too long ago there could not be an offer like that as the race (like others) sold out in minutes! Regarding 2021, I have no plans to do another full distance race, but if i did I think i'd lean toward Canada. A friend is about to buy a condo on/near the course and has been urging me to race. No way that's happening in 2020, but if i get amnesia about my promises never to do a full again, who knows what 2021 will bring |
