I know the Broad Street Ramble 10K starts downtown on Sat at 8:15am. Not sure if the roads will be closed or not and how tricky it will be to meet to swim. Does anyone else know the logistics of the Ramble and if the roads downtown will be closed for it or not? Edited: Nevermind. I just noticed that the 10K stays on Broad Street so we can get around on Reynold's Street to swim. What time do ya'll want to meet to swim? Like 8:30 or 9am or is that too late? I figred that would give everyone time to shower off before the expo if they wanted to. Ya know- just to get all the poo and e coli off  |

The Original 7834 Raleigh/Durham | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread phatknot - 2009-09-25 6:57 AM Latest Sunday Augusta weather is whacked: Showers and thundershowers early. Highs in the mid 80s and lows in the low 60s. Our weather has been REALL weird. One day it's hot and humid. Then it will all clear up and we'll have blue skies with lower humidity. I have no clue what to expect on race- sometimes it rains, sometimes it clears, etc...Just be prepared for any type of weather and make sure to adjust your race execution plan as needed. The one good thing is that it's supposed to cool down a bit- which will be nice if it ends up being in the low 80's for the race day! |

I figred that would give everyone time to shower off before the expo if they wanted to. Ya know- just to get all the poo and e coli off Let's meet at T1 at 8:30 in the water no later than 9 AM! Yes sir!! Only question- are we going to be able to park near the TA if everything is set up? Surely with that road being so long we'll be able to park somewhere? Good point. We may need to park at the first picnic area before the Rowing Club building and then walk up to the start. We can enter at the boat ramp at the 5th street bridge rather than worrying about open gates etc. This will keep the yardage down for us Master Clydes, huh Phatknot? We can probably all try to pile into a few cars to ride up from the TA to the swim start together- we usually do that anyways on our regular morning swims. We can try to park in the first section before the boat house. After the swim we can coordinate getting back to our cars that were left at the swim start. Starting from the slimy boat ramp will definitely cut off some distance and it will be a nice short swim for us For anyone staying in the host hotel you can probably just walk to the 5th street marina from the hotel and not even drive. Then you can hitch a ride back from the swim finish to your hotel I will probably bring a BT sign or something so we can recognize another. I'm assuming there will be a lot of others swimming in the river that morning as well. Sounds like a plan! Edited by Tri14kix 2009-09-25 7:43 AM |

I went to the first briefing and even though it wasn't really crowded yet I'm starting to feel claustrophobic. I hope I don't get swam over! Does anyone know the details of the swim start? They only said that it would be an in water start from near the railroad bridge. How are they going to get us there? Any chance they'll sweep corners on the bike route? That U-turn onto Grey Mare usually has sand/gravel. |

I don't think it actually appears on the IM page until race day. The IM Augusta page is advertising it, so it must be available for this race. |
