Veteran 193   The Colony, Texas, USA, Earth |  Subject: Take on The Heat TriathlonMy wife, Angie, and I just signed up for this race! It will be her first full Sprint (she was part of a relay several years ago in Amarillo). It will be my 3rd TOTH. I took a break from Triathlon races to enjoy our honeymoon  but the two of us have done several marathons and 1/2 mary's since Dec of '08 (She was there cheering me on at IMAZ '08). We're already signed up for the Honolulu Marathon December 12th so as soon as TOTH is done, it's on to Marathon training (using Run less Run Faster book! Angie and I bumped into Karen and Garrrrry at 24 Hr Fitness last week (Angie has never formally swam before) and got some great advice from Karen and we're excited to be doing a very "local" Tri together (We live in The Colony a stones throw from the Start/Finish). I've already explained to her that her first tri should be all about having fun. Although she's got a competative nature about her so she wants to do well.Brian Edited by bkarhu 2010-07-21 4:24 PM |

Champion 5522 Frisco, TX | Subject: RE: Take on The Heat Triathlon I'm in... I think... I have a carryover registration from last year when they had to delay the race due to the pool being closed. I am just up the road in Frisco, so I am thinking I will bike commute to the race. |

Well correction, I think we will be finishing behind Dean at Bridgeland and Clear Lake. Brad may be able to take Rivercities though, he's going really good right now. I'm making a last ditch effort to get in shape.  |

Expert 898 Plano, National Capital Region | Subject: RE: Take on The Heat Triathlon I have a question on bike and run routes - which direction will they go (counterclockwise or clockwise?). It will be my first time to do this race. |

Expert 1103 Plano, TX | Subject: RE: Take on The Heat Triathlon Both bike and run go clockwise. (At least they did three years ago, when I last did this race.) |

Pro 4311 Texas | Subject: RE: Take on The Heat Triathlon davidb - 2010-08-06 3:42 PM Both bike and run go clockwise. (At least they did three years ago, when I last did this race.) Last year it did the same. 4 right turns; 4 loops for oly, 2 for sprint. The run went clockwise out then came back, though the oly run moved around some past the sprint turnaround. |

Extreme Veteran 455 Plano,TX | Subject: RE: Take on The Heat Triathlon Wrong race Jonny. You're thinking of Stonebridge. Yes the bike and run both go clockwise. All right turns is easier for traffic control. |

Expert 898 Plano, National Capital Region | Subject: RE: Take on The Heat Triathlon Looks like there are about 30 BT members planning to do this race this weekend. It would be good to put a face to a name so perhaps we can post up our bib numbers after Friday's packet pick-up. |

Expert 898 Plano, National Capital Region | Subject: RE: Take on The Heat Triathlon Got a chance to drive the course yesterday when it was raining... Main and N. Colony have some holes/cracks that you will need to watch out for. Also, the first turn from Memorial to Bear Run(?) has a fairly big hole on the outside of the turn. I'm going to try a practice run on Saturday morning very early (since Main is busy). |
