Hello

Is everyone ready to race?

The T-1 & T-2 being in different locations may be a huge cluster.  No place to park at T-2

I don't know about 'ready to race' (I'm still recovering from my 'A' race 10 days ago), but I'll be there!  I don't think that the two different transition areas will be awful.  But I'm not in a hurry to leave after the race, so that probably helps.  I can't get there until late Friday night, so I sure hope it isn't too bad because I've only got Saturday morning to figure it out...

Good luck to all racers!

I'm going down Wed. I am using the "work excuse and lack of time" as being the reason for not being ready. I've been looking forward to redeeming  myself after last years Fail.

I did a different long course event (Cozumel) and really liked the the 2 transition areas. With good planning I think it will go really smooth. There is an enthusiastic group of organizers who want to make this a premier event. I'm really interested in seeing what the expo is like.

Good luck and safe travel to everybody.

Hello

Last year I wore my wet-suit and plenty of people did not wear one.

I have been swimming in my neighborhood outdoor pool for the last week and the temperature has gone up a good bit.

I am thinking we are going to be in for a great race day.  I live about 5 miles from race site so if anyone has questions just ask.

It won't be too cold to swim without one.

Peter is right (as usual):  the day will be a little faster with than without, but you'll have a great time either way.

Hello

I live here in Mt P so I scouted the T-2 location last weekend on my ride.

You turn off Hwy 17 heading to the East Cooper Airport.  The new park is past the intersection of Stockdale Road which is the main road for the run.  One thing interesting about the East Cooper Airport road is that there are  speed bumps  across the road to stop kids from drag racing.  The speed bumps are made with 8 or 10  small rows of concrete raised up to make noise when you speed across them. 

This is my wife's first race this weekend and she is stressing about her part (run) of Tigers 81 relay team. I told her I should be at T-2 about an hour after I go in the water for the swim-bike.  It will be fun

Hello

The park for T-2 is brand new and not really open to the public yet.  the parking lot is in place but the athletic fields are not complete.  It looked very soggy last weekend.

Better bring some bug spray.
