Stoneman Sprint Triathlon (Page 3)

Best wishes all!  If this weather holds!  ....could be a great day to race.   (But I wouldn't hold my breath) - - this is IL. 

Stop by and say HI if any of you make it to the fair....I'll be the e-v-e-r-y day

Look'n at rac'n this fall.  Not quite there, just yet  

We have several plotters to choose from.  Some of them even work.  I could cobble something together.

So, I can't find really any directions to get this place.  I'm coming from Decatur, and all I can find on the website is how to get to springfield in general, which is easy enough.  I know it's by the Lindsey Bridge, and Lake springfield boat house, but I don't know where those are, other the the south side of springfield.  If anyone could help me out with some more specific directions, I'd really appreciate it. Maybe it is on the side, but I might just be missing it.

In case it is unclear on the Google map - (I couldn't see where the Beach House is marked, but then I am illiterate when it comes to maps)

Take 72 to I-55/I-72 (south to St. Louis)

Take the exit to East Lake Shore Drive

Stay on E. Lake Shore until you come to Long Bay Drive (Center Park). There is a little zoo right there. It will be on your right.

Turn onto Long Bay Drive and just follow it.  The Beach House will be on your right.  Go there for packet pickup

The people in that diagram are like 12 feet tall and an inch wide. I am pretty sure it is not to scale. 

Yeah, we'll have to wait for you at the finish line. [insert rolling eyes smiley]

I was thinking that those who pick up their packets on Saturday can post there bib numbers on this forum.  That way we can all push each other along in the race. 

Please don't take the picture until I am there.  I really do think that I will be one of the last finishers in the Stoneman.  I will be real easy to see, "the little short guy finishing while gasping for air but with a smile".

Wardoatri, don't worry about being close to the end, I will be bringing up the rear. Good idea about posting the bib numbers.  I think I will write my BT name on the back of my shirt.

How do the swim waves work, anyway? Who goes first? Men, women? Is it done by age group?

Thanks MO3!  It's funny how BAD a picture can be when drawn with a computer mouse!

OK everyone, here is the scaled-down version of the sign that will be taped or otherwise secured to the Beach House.  Why don't we just kind of show up after the awards?

Best wishes to all of you for a great race and I hope I get to meet you face-to-face!
