Expert  1694     Illinois |  Subject: RE: Gateway Olympic Triathlon : Official Threadjhouse4 - 2011-05-20 9:44 AM You will be fine! You are right, it will be fine. Might be the bad Mexican food from last night... We are going to try to swim at 3:00 and probably drive the bike/run course. Looking forward to meeting some fellow BTrs Edited by abake 2011-05-20 9:56 AM |

Veteran 241 Waterloo, IL | Subject: RE: Gateway Olympic Triathlon : Official Thread I plan on getting there around 2pm and hanging out for a while. I want to get in the water for a quick swim in the wetsuit. If the route is the same as last year, I may do a short easy run across the dam. |

Veteran 241 Waterloo, IL | Subject: RE: Gateway Olympic Triathlon : Official Thread FYI, They have posted some pictures on the 3 Discplines Facebook page. There is no beach this year, it's all under-water. Water temps reported to be about 65*. |

Master 2484 St. Louis | Subject: RE: Gateway Olympic Triathlon : Official Thread 3 pm for a swim sounds good. I'll probably do a short 20 minute ride and 10 minute run after the swim as well. |

Veteran 241 Waterloo, IL | Subject: RE: Gateway Olympic Triathlon : Official Thread Did everybody have a good race? I missed my goal time, but still significantly reduced my time from last year. That wind on the bike was brutal. Nice meeting you all, hope to see you next year. |

Nice meeting you too Mike! I missed my goal time as well but had a good race overall and had a lot of fun doing it. |

It was nice to meet you and Mike Ransick. I didn't really know what to expect since this was my first Olympic distance, missed my goal time by 20 minutes. |
Agree the wind on the bike was brutal. Nice race though, I am glad the bad storms missed the area. | 2011-05-23 5:25 PM in reply to: #3398405 |

| 214 | Subject: RE: Gateway Olympic Triathlon : Official Thread My stride was off for several days. I did an easy 2.5 today and my splits were about what I would expect. I think that there is an olympic distance in greenville on my weekend off in July so I will have to try this distance again this year. |
