Champion  6973      marietta |  Subject: RE: Gateway to the Bay Sprint Triathlon : Official Threadbradaskins - 2011-02-10 10:24 AM Sweet! That's good news about the Hotel. Bringing the whole family. We are going to make a weekend of it. Coming in Friday and leaving Sunday. I'm doing the OLY on Sunday. I'm really looking forward to the deep water start. It will be my first salt water swim...a little nervous about that. I have a Volt sleeveless wet suit, do you think that will be fine? Any other tips about preping for the salt water swim? I will be doing OW swimming between now and then, but I've read about chaffing in salt water, anything to be concern about? yeah... salt water = connected to big ocean somewhere = probably currents somewhere. don't make the same mistake so many people did last year and just jump in without thinking about this. a little research right now can tell you pretty much whats gonna be going down on race day this year. have fun, its a great race. |

I'm pretty sure they ditched that... and the body marking the night before. I seem to recall Aaron mentioning those changes a couple of months ago. Good riddance to both. |

Extreme Veteran 387 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: Gateway to the Bay Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread Yes we did get rid of both. We had our reasons for trying it out but it just didn't work. We DO have optional bike check in on FRI for the Sprint and SAT for the International. They will be well guarded overnight. Just incase anyone wants to unload their bike the night before. DONT FORGET THERE'S DISCOUNT REGISTRATION AT HOUSTON CYCLING CENTRES TODAY (SUN FEB 12) ALL DAY WHEN YOU BRING IN 10 CANS TO ANY OF THEIR 3 LOCATIONS! |

Extreme Veteran 387 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: Gateway to the Bay Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread It will most likely be at either Houston Cycling Centres or My Fit Foods. We're not sure what location of either yet. More to come. Be sure to signup for our newsletter if you haven't yet. Don't spam it because once you're off it we can't add you back on. There's an E-Letter bi-monthly and as the race approaches that's how we send out updates and important downloads athletes need. |

| Tyler, | Subject: RE: Gateway to the Bay Sprint Triathlon : Official Thread smilford - 2011-02-10 10:29 AM The only thing to prep for a salt water swim is to get use to the taste of salt water. If you're not it could make you a bit sick if you take in too much. But, once use to it, it seems to not affect people anymore. No problem here, I put salt in just about everything. |
