Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I see a few others on the board signed up. This will be my first HIM and hoping to just be able to make it through the swimming portion with a decent time. I have only been swimming for a few months so I'm really, really slow. I probably don't know what I've gotten myself into with this but I love a good challenge and I don't have anything else to do this spring/summer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Anyone from Lubbock on here?

![]() | ![]() Thanks for gettin' this party started... There is a fairly large contingent of us FLAT Houston triathletes headed north in June. Did it last year, swore I'd never do it again... and then a few weeks later I swore I had to go back and redeem myself! HA! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Don't know what the weather was like last year, just do long as the wind doesn't blow like it did today(30-40+ mph winds, gusting to 500mph) I will be happy. I should be fine for the swim, just had a bad week in the pool. I swore the next day after my first marathon I would not do another...I hurt so bad. I don't know why I keep running them. I feel the same way afterwards. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Looks like quite a pro field for this year's BSLT. Hope I can be off the bike in time to see them sprinting for the finish! |

![]() | ![]() Has any of y'all eaten at Orlando's Italian restaurant there in Lubbock? I saw delivery bags (trash) outside a few rooms at the host hotel last year. There are a few coupons available on-line for take-out & delivery. I brought all my own food last year, but was thinking of maybe venturing out this year. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Anyone start checking the weather? It looks like BSLT weather will be back to normal - sunny, hot, dry and windy. The past 2 years have been abnormally cool. Last year was overcast, some rain and mild temps. |

It looks like BSLT weather will be back to normal - sunny, hot, dry and windy. The past 2 years have been abnormally cool. Last year was overcast, some rain and mild temps. There's an announcement on the website that basically says there's a very good chance that the race won't be wetsuit legal due to temps above 78 degrees. I think you're still good to go to wear one as long as it's not above 84, but you are no longer in the running for AG awards/prizes. Bummer. |

New user ![]() | ![]() Clydesdales represent! ![]() This is my second Half-Ironman, (my first was Montauk back in October...) Don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I've rented a car (I'll be flying in from NYC) - If anyone wants to do a Wal-Mart run on Saturday (not a run - a drive to Wal-Mart for supplies) - Let me know - On Twitter I'm @skydiver - Happy to take anyone I can fit in the car with me. This is gonna be a tough one. Sadly, I've got no support crew or friends this time - So I think I'm gonna be on my own. Any other Clydesdales in this one on the boards? I posted a few times on the boards before Montauk... Let me know if I can help anyone out there - I'll have a lot of free time on Sat. ![]() -Peter PS: Assuming I can't wear my iPod during the run, right? This ADHD boy is gonna be... Bored. |

New user ![]() | ![]() This was utter hell. From the headwinds on the bike to the blazing hot sun to the HILLS (I thought Texas was a flat state....) This was truly, truly brutal. Anyone else? |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() LOL. Lubbock is flat, Ransom Canyon is not. At least it wasn't windy yesterday! How did you do? Brian Edited by BrianAndR 2010-06-28 10:12 AM |

I was out there representing the Clydes as well, and I second the brutality. But, it was my first 70.3 and I finished, so I'm happy with that. I'm going 70.3 again in September at Augusta, and hoping that it's better. Edited by ScudRunner 2010-06-29 1:05 PM |
