Expert  692    Boca Raton, FL |  Subject: NYC tri- who's in?So, for the past 2 years I have gotten shut out of NYC and although I know it is way expensive for an OLY and also a crowded race, i have wanted to do it once in my tri life. So finally, I am in...anyone else doing it? |

Extreme Veteran 467 | Subject: RE: NYC tri- who's in? I'm thinking about it. I don't know if I want to stay up just to get an entry though (haha). You'll have to be ready to enter 12:01AM if you want in. Sold out in 20 minutes last year. |

Extreme Veteran 388 | Subject: RE: NYC tri- who's in? I got an email this AM (3:25 am or something) from USAT saying they had a limited number of spots open. So when I got up at 5:15, I immediately went to the site to sign up. DENIED. Somehow in the wee hours of the morning, all the AG spots were taken. So if you're a Clydesdale/Athena you can get it now through USAT. I'm staying up to sign up this weekend. |

I was in la-la land by then... now I'll have to sit up and wait with the masses and hope the Active.com site doesn't crash or throw me out. |

Is it a free entry or just a guaranteed entry that you still pay for? You can actually receive either, depending on the job you did. I was just a lowly grunt so I got guaranteed admission but had to pay. There are some semi-supervisory positions where you receive free admission the following year as well though. |

I'm going to volunteer again as well, so I'll probably either be at packet pick up or doing the transition tours. |

| 74 | Subject: RE: NYC tri- who's in? I'm in, did it last year and I'm excited to crush my PR this year now that I know what I am doing. There are so many ways to register early, it no wonder general admission sells out in 20 mins, there are probably only 500 gen ad spots by then!! |

Expert 1116 Thornton, CO | Subject: RE: NYC tri- who's in? I'm scared of the Hudson River, that's one dirty 1500m swim. It's like the Jersey shore in the 80s, needles floating around and stuff. :-D |

| Master 1963 | Subject: RE: NYC tri- who's in? Spectating friends in it this year, get ready for a FAST swim. Bike course isn't too spectator friendly, run course has a lot of good viewing spots. Wait until you guys book a hotel for the race, then it gets even more expensive lol :D |

| Regular 357 | Subject: RE: NYC tri- who's in? I'll hopefully be in (knock on wood). Missed the limited number of slots, but will be ready at 12:01! Last time I did this race was '08. Is it me or did the spots go faster this time? I remember that time I did it during the advance USAT-only period, but still took my time about it. |

Master 1690 Metro NY Area | Subject: RE: NYC tri- who's in? Me too, I really have no desire to swim the Hudson in NYC. One reason, I usually swim with my mouth open.
