Woodstock (Page 2)

I too missed the deadline...did not get permission in time, but when I called the message says there is room in every race for the weekend for on site registration.

I hope to get in on Sunday to the Try a Tri.

I'm going to show up sunday for the try a tri too

Weather forcast for Sunday is certainly better than it was for today.

Best of luck to all who are going!!!

How did everyones races go today?  I'm super excited - I got my first AG podium (I'm confused whether it was 2 or 3 because the first place person has WAVUP beside their name and I don't know what that means - they called me as second in the awards)!  I used to regularly podium when they had the C/A categories in Ontario, but they are gone now.  

I swear I head some guy talking about BT before the swim cap - he was wearing a blue cap before the early race.  I also saw one of you finishing the swim in the give it a try (also a blue cap).  I yelled "Go BT!". 

Congrats !

for me, it was ok for a first tri

swim like as expected: badly... and got some difficulties with the bike because of the wind but I was more than happy with the run

I'm hooked now...

but did not saw any BTers...

I was there! I did crappy too..mostly due to the swim, one of the last ones out.

Alex - congrats on a solid first tri. From your race report it sounds like you had a good time doing it.

Laura - A podium finish! Well deserved!

I had a fun time but my race performance was sub-par. I screwed up my swim and never recovered. 

I ran into Ray Vachon but did not see anyone else.

I'm just hoping for warmer weather with less wind at Binbrook next week.

Thanks Mark !

Quick question for all of you folks: How do you get through the numb feet during the bike ? I had a really hard time to feel my toes during the bike portion and it took me several minutes to warmup my foot during the run... Do you put warm stuff in your cycling shoes or what ??? 

There is only one thing that helps me with cold feet - biking faster.

In weather like this, the sooner I get off the bike the sooner I can thaw out.

Probably was me coming out of the water with my BT top on in the try a tri. I also met Ray Vachon for the first time.  Met him in the water before the swim start.

I had a pretty good day.  was supposed to sprint.   Due to health issues training was on hold for almost 5 weeks, still pulled a podium out.  3rd OA 1st mens 30-34

I sincerely hope you all had a fun day, congrats to all, good luck in the future

I didn't feel I had that great a day but apparently I still managed an AG podium, 21st OA.  Swim was way harder than I expected but it was only my 2nd time doing an OWS, 1st in a race situation.  Glad I decided to wear the wetsuit...probably saved my life..lol.

Met a few new faces, including Jon (aka B12 Bomber) which was cool.

I have the Welland sprint in a couple weeks, now I'm kind of anxious about the longer swim. 

Well done Laura!!! Congratulations. I'm probably one of the guys you passed on the run.

I only saw one guy in BT garb, and just didn't have enough energy left after the tri to strike up a conversation.

Numb feet can be caused by incorrect cleat positioning. Shoes too tight is another possibility. I would be reluctant to say for certain that it was caused by the cold if you're referring to yesterday. Does it happen to you on warmer days as well? Some cycling shoes have options of different types of insoles which accommodate everything from high arches to fallen ones, and if you have the wrong type for your feet it can cause the same issue.

Well done Patricia on an outstanding result!!!

It was a good event Sunday as well.

The burger lineup was a little rediculous so didn't bother, but if that's the worst thing of the day then I'd call it a success.

Felt the different tents could have been labelled better, and the distance signs on the tri run were a little sparse, but it was definitely a fun day.
