Mini Mighty Man Triathlon (Page 3)

The towel is just any old towel around the house...there is not a specific "Transition" towel and it is more so your stuff stays clean and easily accessible.  If you can't get the belt before Saturday's race, then pin it on whatever shirt you'll be wearing after the swim..but do this BEFORE the swim, otherwise you'll be wasting valuable time in T1 pinning your # on.

You're going to let some little road race in Boston stand in the way of helping out???  Seriously, Good Luck up in Bean Town Matt!

Erin: You'll be fine, just ask a lot of questions! You're going to feel so good about yourself when you cross that line!!

If they posted the results we'd know!  My bike, run, and transitions we're good.  I did terrible on the swim.  Never swam in a 50m pool before and it through me off terribly.  I must've swallowed a 1/2 gallon of pool water!

Must say though, the event was very organized and well run.  Good Job Event Power LI!

1st Timer in NY - 2008-04-20 7:22 PM   I'm convinced you need a female to organize the BT meet-ups because most guys just assume it will all come together (and it rarely does)

We had a plan to all wear swim caps that said BT on the back, and then they had to go and give us all grey matching swim caps!

Why wait until next year? They're doing the exact same race in August!

You know, this is the 4th year this event is held and as nicely organized as it has been, this year was the best yet. There was a lot of focus on detail and the mandatory swim caps was only one of many that I could point out. Also, the first year this event was held they gave out medals and never again until this year. I'm so glad about that cause my relay teamates were so stoked about getting their very first medal ever. They can't wait' till next year to repeat this again.

Yes, all in all, looking back it was extemely well done and next year or this August we have to be more organized about how we can all meet up!  Weather was absolutley perfect.  I actually think I may have been talking to you Eddie during the breifing, right before the National Anthem. 

My only criticism was there was no clearly defined LINE where you had to dismount.  If I had seen that I could've timed my flying dismount better

 Duuuuudes, like msailer pointed out, check out #27 ... she rode at a speed of 40MPH!!  She completed a 6 mile bike in 8:53. 

When they posted the results on the back of the trailer 10mins after I finished, I was in 28th place.  Now, magically, I am in 30th place.  WTF   Gotta love time trials. 

And how about the 30 swimmers that seeded themselves as 6 min 400m swimmers!! Oh wait, I bombed the swimming so who am I to talk!

In all though, great race guys!!  Fantastic weather and the event was very well run for the most part.  I am looking forward to doing it again in August!

I think I saw you, but felt like kind of a tool asking a complete stranger..hey are you from BT??  I saw the Sunrise Tri Garb..are you tall? (6'3"+). I tried squeezing my fat Clydesdale a$$ into the Sunrise Tri gear and it was not happening.  I realize I need to lose weight but a Triathlon XL is not a Real World XL..XXL too for that matter! .  But I am a big supporter of Sunrise Tri.  Next race fo' sho!  Who's doing Ironclad??  MY Race Nexus says there is at Least 11 BTers doing registered.
