5430 Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread

Yikes. That frightens me just a little, lol.

Oh boy......

I can't wait to start the season....this is going to be fun

Anyone interested in meeting up at the race?  I won't know anyone there and it's always more fun when you see others out on the course who can can say hi to.



 

Too bad it's not your right foot... we'd use a sharpie and write your age on the back of it ;-) 

Sorry for injury, hopefully you'll be all healed for Peak.

Sucks about the injury....hopefully we will see you at the Peak.  Get healed......

Here's to a speedy recovery...

Oh, that stinks....heal fast!


I'd be happy to meet up. I have a bunch of friends racing, but I'm always happy to meet more. :-)

Ouch..I'll keep my eye out for the purple cast!!

Last time I did this (or any) race was 2007. I'm really looking forward to this Sunday.
The 10 day outlook on Weather.com is showing 90 and sunny.

its a good thing that's the expected high later in the afternoon

Should make for a good race in the morning.  Lows in the mid 50s the night before, so it should make for a nice temperature during the race.  Don't want it too cold coming out of the water, but don't want it so hot that it sucks our energy out during the bike. 

I just noticed that we are required to go to Boulder Res for the pre-race meeting on Saturday.  I guess I'll just take my bike and ride the course once or twice while I'm there. 

I was thinking of riding a lap on the long course route, let me know if that's an option for you Pete..or anyone else for that matter

I might be up for a lap on the long course route.  Let me know what time you were thinking about and I'll see if it works with the Sat. schedule.

I might be up for it as well.

I'll be going to my normal Saturday morning group run in Denver, followed by brunch.  Typically I'm done there around 11:30-12:00.  I was then planning on heading up to Boulder Res right after (bike and gear in the car already), so I figured I'd get up there around 12:30-12:45, get my bib number, attend the pre-race meeting at 1pm and then go out for a ride on the course.  

I don't think I'm up for a lap on the long course, but I was thinking I'd ride the sprint course twice at a moderate (16-17mph) pace.  There's more than enough time to ride the long course route between now and August that I'm not too worried about it.  I could however be tempted into doing the sprint course, followed by the oly course.

 

Bib number and waves are posted. 

I'm in wave 4, Bib #562.  I'll be wearing a Bikesource tri top and Orca shorts, both in my HS colors of black/orange/white, in case you want to say 'hi' while passing me on the bike or run

I was in the DFL heat for the Peak last year, transition is nice and uncluttered at that point 

T1 is always uncluttered for me, no matter when I start   Sometimes that's bad tho, like when I arrived to find my bike knocked over at the Peak and the drink in my aerobottle spilled all over the ground.

Best of luck to everyone racing this weekend!!!

I'm bib number 265, wave 2, red swim cap... in case YOU want to say hi as you pass me! :-D

wave 4, bib 739.....you'll probably still pass me up....
