Newbie for Savage Man? (Page 2)

Hey, are you kidding me? Did you read the web blog below? 16,000 feet of climbing? Take Josh with you. I'll bring the V-Max and a videographer on the back to record the ride.

I'm always up for a challenge, but to read of elite level cyclists bailing half way through this ride I'm pretty sure the diabolical double is not in my 2010 plans.

If they offer an early registration discount, I will likely be signing up right away.

Come on people... it will be a blast! Lets get through this snow storm and begin the spring training. I am already getting bored on my trainer...

Yeah, they were up nearly $50...I'm regged with ya though!

Out of curiosity, where did you get this from? That is for '09 registration.  This info is not still on the website anywhere, is it?

For 2010, we have eliminated the really early-bird special (through 3/1) and rates through 6/1/10 are consistent with the rates through 7/1/10 of last year.  Also, Active.com has been eliminated and gone with it are it's ridiculous 6% fees.

Even at $160, this is a good deal for a half iron event. I'm in next payday, hoping to get my brick!

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for the clarification. Glad Active isn't skimming this one. I got the numbers Goggling Savageman Tri...I don't think the registration updated till 01-01-10 at 10A.

Tim

Yeah, what Raiden said....gotta get the brick...gotta be immortalized in Westernport!

that was my experience.  Did it half a dozen times in training.  Fellow racer crashed in front of me and I didn't make it up.  What my race report doesn't say was that the woman who crashed in front of me was the same woman who came upon me during a training ride after I had crashed.  Gotta check out the savageman forum archives for that one.  Anyway, I've told her I don't want anything to do with her since bike crashes seem to be associated with her.

If something like that happened to me again, I would definitely ride around the block back down the wall and try again.  In the grand scheme of things, what difference does an extra 20 seconds of horrible climbing cost me????

Did anyone see the new Triathlete magazine which named Savageman the HARDEST RACE ON THE PLANET??!!!!

Read your RR along with Trishe and Josh's. Good stuff!
