Moses Lake Family Tri (Page 4)

My friend who is from there gave me the name of a restaurant--I will find the address and post it here.  If nothing else, there's pizza hut!    Beer and pasta anyone?

Lynne and I comprise 2/3 of the Athena division in the Oly race--guaranteed medals--although I guess first we have to finish!

Sister Madonna Buder is racing the Oly...she's an old friend of my dad's that I haven't seen in two decades, hopefully she remembers me.

Should we plan the BT meetup near the packet pick up on Friday evening?  Or at the beach for a swim?  I am open to suggestions...

Get off I-90 at Dodson Road, I think, and you can drive into ML on the bike course.  At least that's my current plan!  Sure would be nice to bike a bit today to remind the legs what a bike is, but this stupid rain is for the birds.  (ducks, anyway)

I've had a lousy morning and cannot wait to hit the road tomorrow!!!  Popsracer, how will we find you on race day?  Or, you can find us...probably easy to find a bunch of insane ladies together!!

Sounds like a typical first triathlon!!  You will still have fun.  That's the weird thing about triathlons.  In hindsight, it was fun!

Have a great race everyone!!!!  and sounds like a fun weekend too.

 GO BT'ers!!!

Here are a couple of dinner options:  Dana's Cafe http://www.danascafe.com/  606 W Broadway  -- looks like a pretty wide variety.  Depending on how many people want to eat, we could even make a group reservation at wherever we decide to go.

Michaels on the Lake is a little pricier but has a group room.... http://www.michaelsonthelake.com/  910 W Broadway

Packet pickup is 5-7 PM at Moses Lake Multisport, 516 W Broadway.

It looks like Broadway is the main drag in ML!  I am voting for the following BT plan if anyone is interested, and am open to changing it...but it's a start.  Swim at Blue Heron Park 4:30-5 ish (weather permitting), pick up packets at 6, dinner at Dana's to follow, around 645? 

Who's in?

Ann, Tory and Lisa are in!!!

I am speaking for the crew.

- you will have a GREAT TIME!  Moses Lake was my first Tri 3 years ago. I did the entire swim on my BACK and surivived.  You will do fine.  Plus some of us slower oly folks...me, will be pulling up the rear for you.

I AM PACKING! WOOHOO! OH God I feel so excited! Like Xmas Eve to me. Probably because I know I'm getting away early from work tomorrow. LMAO! 

I can't wait to see everyone again!  

Travel day!  Yay!

Here's a question for you guys--do you think it would be a waste of time and energy to put arm warmers on in T1 vs just throwing on a long sleeved shirt?  It seems like it will be cool on the ride.....I don't own a cycling jacket (will add it to my list of should haves) and in my multiple layers of support (sigh) I don't think I will dry very fast on the ride.

Thanks!  See you soon!

It's basically a long tube of spandex-type fabric that you pull over your arms so you don't need to wear a shirt under a jersey or a coat, or whatever.  I just bought my first pair a couple of weeks ago, and can't believe how handy they are. I tried putting them on this morning to see if it would hinder me in T1 and it only took a second to pull them on, so I am definitely wearing them!  REI had them on sale for under $8.  Novarra brand.
