jsklarz - 2008-09-03 10:35 AM Assuming we can pick up packets the day before, anyone interested in meeting up at LC on Saturday at some point for a look around and maybe a last prerace swim or run?

i am up for that, let me know, i can always use more run and swim time, hopefully my calf will be all healed up by that race, if not i will be walking the 5k, like i will be this weekend in Westport.

As an fyi, you can't swim in Lake Compounce.  The park is closed and the lake is on private property and fenced off.  You can run most (but not all) of the run course (once again part of the run course is on Lak Compounce private property).  You can, however, ride the bike course, just beware that Mt. Vernon / Lake road can be a little busy.

LC has no saturday packet pickup.  So there is no point going up Saturday.  Here is the email I received (with one swim wave for the guys it should be a nice slug fest):

Thank you for registering to the Sprint Triathlon @ Lake Compounce on September, 21st. We look forward to having you.

For your information:

*Packet pick up and bike transition set up will be on Sunday between 5am - 6:45am only. *There will be two swim waves - men off first & women and relay teams off second

*We suggest that all our newbies hang back a bit in both waves if needed *The distance from the swim exit to bike transition is about 1/4 mile (paved), so shoes are allowed to be put on, if needed, once you get out of the water. *Our swim, bike, and run courses are located on our website - www.trisportmedia.com (click the events tab, then tri courses). *There will only be a water station during the run. All other fluids must be carried on you during the bike. *Bike course is NOT on a closed road. We will have Bristol and Southington PD, as well as, MANY volunteers controlling the traffic. Please be aware of this and ride cautiously! All residents on the course have been notified of the triathlon so we hope to have little traffic.

We look forward to meeting you all on Sunday! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

~Mike and Jennifer
