| New user 2 Frisco | Subject: RE: Stonebridge Ranch : Official Thread signed up last week....my first tri experience. I would like to know more about transisitons if anybody knows.....ive watched the videos on this site but i cant imagine it being like the vids. for example, how far from the water to the bike? do you have to run your bike to a certain point before you get on? how early should we be there? Any other tips would be great. |

With the sprint state championship and the new collegiate division it should be one hell of a race. scooter1972 - 2009-09-08 3:56 PM signed up last week....my first tri experience.

Any other tips would be great. T1 is looong. You have to run from the boat ramp, up and down a wet grassy hill, through the tennis courts and into the parking lot. It's probably 1 or 2 tenths of a mile. And like any tri, you have to cross the designated mount line before you can get on your bike. I'm doing a transition clinic the day before. You'd get a lot out of it if you can make it. What, they didn't just make it a steeplechase? |

I would highly recommend that you run the course if its your first time,just to know what to expect. Last year I heard a girl say not another hill,I didn't have the hart to tell her that she just started. |

[/QUOTE I debated that last year & chose to run with shoes & do a flying mount than clip in. I did pass some that where riding up the hill with there feet on there shoes,I just couldn't do a hill that way. If you can get your feet in your shoes from the mount line to the exit on Virginia you'll be OK. |

| 24 | Subject: RE: Stonebridge Ranch : Official Thread In response to the T area- this probably is one of the strangest T areas I've seen from swim to run. Out of the water you run up a big hill, then around some tennis courts into the T area. Probably 250 yards total. After that it's all good- just walk your bike to the mount/dismount area and you are good to go-maybe 30 yards. To set up- some folks like to be there early. I'm there probably there 15 minutes before the T closes because I like to sleep and can't stand hanging around the race area with nothing to do. All about personal preference. |

| Veteran 144 Little Elm, Texas | Subject: RE: Stonebridge Ranch : Official Thread I'd like to do the sprint, but $80 is too expensive for me. I would sign up earlier and thus get the cheaper rate, but I work in emergency management and have been burned too many times with signing up early and having to eat the cost. Have fun racing. |
