Whirlpool Steelhead 70.3 Triathlon (Page 2)

Are we going to do dinner on Friday night? If so, where, or how? Cooking at home or at some sort of restaurant?

I'm getting excited!!

I REALLY hope that is the right temperature, the other water temps I've been reading have been making me very nervous!! I love wearing a wetsuit, but I don't want to freeze inside it!

PS. I swear I know how to cook in case any of you are wondering...

Potty mouth.

I can still get us a reservation at Tosi's.  In the poll so far, that is the most favored option.  Its VERY good food.  It's where Al Capone used to go during his summer's on the Michgan beaches.  They have an early dinner special that would be perfect.

We will already have 14 or so people there, so it would be hard to find anywhere else to accomadate such a large group.

agree, that was one of the reasons for getting the house rented

I'm really regretting the fact that I have to go home Saturday evening.

(If Jorge want's smacktalk, he will get some smacktalk..... )

cornelius300 is coming with us and there is no way Jorge is a better cook than Greg.  And the GA crew has a house of our own.  We might just need an Iron Chef thing.  Too bad we all have a race to think about.

Hey, lemme cook, too - I've got some get-down in the kitchen. I won the michigan squid roe challenge, and I was the first, unannounced winner of Hell's Kitchen. And I've got references.

But if anyone's interested in collaborating on a menu, I'll bring it all and cookit.

Cold water is a plus...just double bag yourself (that's two swim caps, perverts) and make sure you get a warmup, so the 'face in the water' thing doesn't cause undue stress. Then, cold is a normal swim.  

Those who have raced/ridden the Steelhead bike course, how hilly or flat would you say it is? Does it has a few hills as Kessignton? Is it technical (a lot of turns) that might slow you down? what about wind; is it usually windy?

I changed my mind, if I am going to do it I might as well race it (not too fast unfortunately) and try to secure a Clearwater slot. I want to have an idea of how fast I could ride given my current fitness
