Veteran  161   Southern Maryland |  Subject: Kinetic Sprint : Official ThreadAnyone interested in training together for the Kinetic Sprint? Even if we can't get together physically, we could at least keep each other moving and focused. |

Great! I would love to get my swimming up to "speed" so to speak. Good luck! |

Regular 61 | Subject: RE: Kinetic Sprint : Official Thread I hope I don't have to wear my wet suit for this one. The Rumpass/ Bumpass Sprint my wet suit was slicing my neck area. Jus take a look at my training log and I will look at yours as well. I know I will be focusing more in the next week and a half on CORE training and puting more cycling time in too as well. I will see you there on May 10th good luck. |

I'm sure the water temperature will be in the low 60's at best. I won't go in the water without a wetsuit. Where you using BodyGlide or something like it? |

Regular 61 | Subject: RE: Kinetic Sprint : Official Thread Trust me I was wearing body glide throught. What happened was the velcro peice had readjusted itself and some way located itself by my neck area. I know it was my girlfriend that zipped me up, but did not secure the velcro correctly. I know it will not be problem next time. Are you ready for the race? |

I know it will not be problem next time. Are you ready for the race? Yes! Am I ready for the water temperature? Don't know! Weather permitting I'll be doing an OWS this Sunday at Sandy Point. Hopefully I'll be able to deal with the cold water and I'll do better at the race swim than I did last year. With a decent swim I should be able to drop my swim time by 4 minutes compared to last year! |

Veteran 187 Northern Virginia | Subject: RE: Kinetic Sprint : Official Thread I was out at Sandy Point last Saturday and the water was between 55 and 60 as far as I could tell from the NWS. It was my face that just got really cold and I didn't want to swim any longer. I was just doing T1 practice so I didn't spend too much time in the water at once. However, if you are under 5 years old it won't bother you. There were a ton of kids playing in the water including my 2 year old until we had to remove them because they were shivering. |

Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Kinetic Sprint : Official Thread Kurtie - 2009-04-29 4:08 PM is this course different from the Rumpass in Bumpass sprint? Yes. This tri is centered on a different part of the lake, further north near the park and marina. |

| Subject: RE: Kinetic Sprint : Official Thread Kurtie - 2009-04-29 4:08 PM is this course different from the Rumpass in Bumpass sprint? It's the opposite side of the lake, the "colder" side. Terrain is a bit hillier, I believe, esp. on the run. |

You're signed up and you don't know where it is? No, it's not the same place! Lake Anna State Park - Spotsylvania, VA. There's a map at http://www.setupevents.com/files/Kinetic_Directions.pdfand route maps at http://www.setupevents.com/files/Kinetic_Sprint_08.pdf Edited by MDHillSlug 2009-04-29 4:00 PM |

Member 25 Here or there | Subject: RE: Kinetic Sprint : Official Thread tri-sbr - 2009-04-29 4:53 PM WHAT PART OF THE LAKE IS THE RACE AT? I DID THE RUMPASS, IS IT IN THE SAME AREA? The kinetic is about 5 miles uplake. The North Anna river and the Pamunkey Creek feed Lake Anna and come together at a place called the splits which is very close to the Lake Anna State Park. The water is generally 4-5 degrees cooler there than at the marina where the Rumpass was because the water from the warm side of the lake rolls back into the public side at that marina. I was on the lake last weekend and the water was up to 73 degrees on the surface compared to about 65 on Rumpass day. I fish the lake pretty much every weekend and my temperature readings are from my fishfinder, so I'm pretty confident in the temp changes. |
