WVU Hospitals Sprint, Splash and Spin : Official Thread

I'm doing it, didn't race last year, first time doing it.  I got a 7:20 start time based on the time i told them my finish time would be.  Looking forward to it.

Question:  does it get crazy with bikes trying to pass?  I'm sure it's going to happen, and I want to be prepared when it's time for me to pass (or be passed, hopefully not!)

I am part of the club, although only recently.  I did RockyGap earlier in the summer, and had my picture taken with the club.  I also came to the open water swim meeting in...June? July?  I go by Jerry, so there is always confusion who I am.  I'm friends with Derek Clark.  I will be wearing a 1 piece zoot-suit this weekend, and have a white cannondale six bike, white shoes, so if you see me say hi!

And yes, I am in the Ex. Phys program, I'm a doctoral student in Dr. Mark Olferts lab.

I'm pretty pumped for this race, I did fairly well in a race 3 weeks ago in VT, and although I've been sick with a fever for 7 days, I finally feel ok enough to do something.  So why not race? hahaha

That, and I JUST learned how to flip turn, and my 50m time has dropped by 3-5sec, so I'm ready for the pool swim!

Malgal - 2010-08-26 3:00 PM Ah, OK.  Then you know Derek is not racing and that must put you right up there as a favorite going on your Rocky Gap time   Bummer about being sick though.  I hope you feel better on Saturday.  I wasn't at the open water swim meeting or at Rocky Gap this year but you probably see me posting on the yahoo group all the time.  I am also medical school faculty (Physiology and Pharmacology).  I will be wearing club uniform along with quite a few others so not so obvious.  But, we will be standing right next to your wave at the start of the race and I will probably be one of two women in MMS colors in our wave (and probably the slowest swimmer).  Ronna will be the other one in club colors.  Oh, and I have an Australian accent - that is usually the first thing people notice.  I always forget to tell people that.

Yeah, definately haven't met, I'd remember the accent.  But, maybe see you there.
