Moraga Treeline Triathlon (Page 2)

You may try, but I tried to get my time changed since I am sick and they said that you will be fine, that people will pass you if they need to...so, more then likely you will have to stay at that seed! you will be finished with the whole race, but the time I get out of the pool! good luck!!

Hey B...wanna switch!? you should be where I am! With me being sick still, I HOPE LIKE HECK that I do not slow anyone down!!!! sure you will be seeing me on the bike....on those what you say are not hills!

bhoover10001 - 2008-04-24 8:53 AM Seedings are up. I'm seeded 195th Geoff 43rd Julie - 145th Woo woo!! I can be sipping coffee until 7:30!!!

I'm seeded 2nd! WTF? Then, I went back to my reg and realized I mistakenly put est. 4:00 swim time when I should've put 8:00! Yikes! I wonder if I should email the RD?

Edit: I just emailed the RD, and hopefully they can re-seed me back. I'd seriously hate to bottleneck the real swimmers for the first 8 min. of the race.

I think there were a lot of mistakes in the top seeds. My daughter is seeded 8th with a 4:54 entry? Last year, she passed up seeds 2-5 by the second lap. Payam Saljoughian almost did a flat 4 last year, swims for UC Santa Cruz, and he's seeded 5th? But I wouldn't worry about it too much, as long as you stay to the right. Emily Rollo, seeded 16th, is probably seeded with about a 6, so.... you probably won't be passed by that many people. Just stay out of the way of my daughter She needs all the time she can get in the swim.

Roger, wilco!  Wow, she swims a 4:54 400m?  I don't think I could block her if I wanted to.  By the time I knew she was on my ankles, she'd already be passed me!

Anybody else doing this seeded-swim thing for the first time?  All my races have been OWS up to now.  I suppose that's why I had a brain-dead moment when filling out the reg. form--not realizing the est. time would be used for a seeding!  Live and learn.

Hey Geoff...thanks for all your encouragement..was great meeting you, Brian and Gwen! great race will let you know when my DH and I come your way for a ride...want to show him the loop we did the other day....and go exploring in your area....we always ride Skyline/Woodside area....time to think outside the box... Have a great day...and hope your son did well in his baseball game!

just emailed the race director to ask them....if anyone else hears, can you let me know! Would love to see them. Good job on the finishes guys! you all looked great out there!

Julie, et al,

While you're waiting on pins and needles for results; here's the 2007 results from OnYourMarkEvents.com, if you want to see how you stacked up to last year's racers.

The 2008 results should post here when completed. 

thanks Ron.

Just received a reply email from Mark at onyourmarkevents.com.

Apparently, the delay in Results posting has been caused by three factors:

- onyourmarkevents.com had 4 events this weekend (not particularly sympathetic to this one...staff appropriately) 

- Moraga Tri apparently did not advise onyourmarkevents.com of some of the Race Categories they had instituted. 

- One Racer started out-of-sequence in the seeded pool swim...requiring a resorting and recalculation of all the results afterwards.  (That racer should be DQ'd per the Rules btw...unless of course it was a result of an error by the Race Staff...or unless it was me.) 

No estimated availability of Results either... 

The text is crappy, but I formatted it and then cleannned it up.  We all did well.

Brian:  You almost had your daughter beat!  She did great.  Ron:  You eaked me out!  Congrads.  This was a ton of fun.  Julie:  You did your sister proud!  An excellent race.

I'm working a 1/2 day tomorrow and then off to pack for Wildflower!  Keep sending good thoughts my way.

Geoff

That's me...the eeker.

BTW, Geoff, I think we should all place 3 (or more) higher in OA rankings--as I think the Relay teams should be excluded from OA rankings.

Congrats everybody! Great BT representation out there!

I'm with you.  Two of my kids started the tri thing this last year.  They started to trash talk my wife and I.   The first time they swam with us, it was long course at heather farms and my wife did a 100. She turned back and they both hanging onto the lane lines at the 50!  It was one of those moments where I though "youth is no match for old age and treachery!"

In all fairness, your daughter has the ability to be an excellent triathlete.   If she sticks with it, it won't be long before she is dusting all of us!
