Sportspectrum River Cities Triathlon

Cool! I have no idea how fast the 300 spots will sell out, just wanted to FYI you guys. Now I have to get my butt in gear for training!

Also, a clarification, I think the movie will be playing on 3 different screens in the multimedia room during the pasta dinner.

Anyway, this info is only meant as info. I know I'm jumping the gun on the BT get-together dinner, it's my way of saying that I'm sorry we won't be able to meet up with you guys at a local restaurant!!

(rambling off)  

Not to be a spoilsport, but our experience with race-sponsored pasta dinners is that you get little more than Ragu with meat sauce served over spaghetti at an exorbitant price. Since we'll have the kids, it would cost us $80 to do this thing, and we can eat at nearly any full-service restaurant for that. Yeah, we're cheap, but need to be.

So we'll probably pass on this and make reservations at the Macaroni Grill or similar if anyone wants to join us. As we have the past two years.

I'll try to meet you there!

The 300 spots was for the pasta dinner and I doubt it will sell out on registration day. RiverCities should cap out at 1300 spots like last year. However, there is early registration for Red River participants and Sunrise members (we get to register Saturday night). There will probably be at least 1000 spots available Sunday morning. Don't quote me on it though.

Hey Michale!!  Haven't seen you in quite some time; hope all is well.  I am probably going to register tomorrow even though my likelihood of attendance is about 50-50.  My kiddo gets out of camp on Saturday the 2nd, and once we pick her up I don't think I have enough time to get to packet pick up (it is a 6.5 hour drive from her camp to Shreveport). 

My wife offered to go pick her up without me, but that's a long drive (5 hours each way) for her, and this is Madison's last year at this camp; I've been there for closing ceremonies every year she has gone...I wish SportsSpectrum would allow someone else to get my packet for me.

I registered at about 7:20am.

Oh, I was just babbling....have a happy Sunday!

x5. will be my first time. my kids will do the kids tri (x3).

We'd be up for dinner somewhere. Not doing the pasta dinner and it's an excuse to NOT spend the evening with my in-laws. they live N of Shreveport in Spring Hill. May not even tell them we are coming...he he. 

IIRC, you could still register by late afternoon last year. I think they had one year where they sold out in three hours and just continue to use that as a marketing slogan.

Better, though, to be safe than sorry. I'm up at 5am to do my run regardless, didn't take but a minute to register.

Go to that GetMeRegistered site and put your name in where it says "Confirm An Entry." That shows me that I am registered:
