Last Chance Tri - Nepean 20 Sep

I'm hoping to do the sprint this year.  I did the super sprint last year.  The run was beautiful. 

I am doing the Sprint this year.  4th race but first year...where does the bike and run take place (I know they leave from the Sportsplex).

Last year the bike took place on a square grid of streets around the complex.  I don't know the area well (weekend holiday) but there was one stretch that was *really* nice - gently rolling and like a country road.  The other part was under construction and really bumpy - felt like suburbs/industrial.  But this was the supersprint so not sure what the sprint will be like.  I remember it being cold and windy.  I swam the pool length wearing my tri-shorts and a swimming tank (then threw on a cardigan) and my butt was like an ice cube in the wet shorts! 

The run took place on this trail behind the complex (a couple of loops).  It had wood chips and cut through the woods.  There were only about 30 participants and I was near the end so it was nice and quiet.

I think the hardest part for me was hauling my body weight out of the pool!! 
That and I lost a contact when I dove into the pool - this year will be a push off from the wall!

This will be my third or fourth sprint (still undecided).  Last year I did three mini's so...  Should be a fun experience!

Thanks for the info on the run, I was  a little nervous when I read that it was a 'run through the woods'  lol, my imagination was getting the better of me. 

Good luck with the sprint to both of you!  I just had a baby in March so the super sprint is all I can handle at this point.  Looking forward to the super sprint next year though!

Sounds like a good race for me maybe we can head out there for the weekend. Id do the mini sprint as well since i just started this year and it would be my second race. Have a great weekend everyone.
