Subject: RE: Vineman Showdown at Sundown : Official Thread ecpasos - 2010-04-11 6:58 AM There are lots of very sharp rocks when getting in and out of the water where the beach is. I wonder if the swim portion for the race will be like that. I hope not because I cut my feet getting in and out. I wonder how that's going to work for the race. I think what I may do is bring some booties to keep my feet from getting scraped up.
Did you experience difficulties with rocks? Or did you find an area with a smoother entry?
Where did you get in the water? I did this race last year and did not have a problem with rocks. The entrance is way down the beach where there is more sand. Last year the challenge was a lot of dead jellyfish! Grossed me out, but my wave was towards the end so most were out of the way... I am pretty sure I read that they are going to make people walk their bike up the steep hill right out of transition. Check the website FAQ. Good Luck! Should be another fun one! I hope it is not raining like it is today! |
