Tri-For-Life July 2011

Very good race.  The roads are pretty safe, low traffic and nice riding.  The run is on a multi use path, almost flat and the trees shade it most of the way.   No weeds in the water.

Hope all goes well for your son

Oh man! I hope everything goes well and he has a great recovery!

Is this race wetsuit legal?  Are we going to be the only ones there without wetsuits if we decide not to rent them? lol.

3D doesn't make announcements about wetsuits until race week.  I would guess though the water will be at, or appoaching the point where wetsuits will be illigal.  If you don't rent, you certainly won't be the only ones not wearing a wetsuit!

Just wanted to say MIKEWOODS and I did the Olympic last year and are tentatively planning to do the race again this year...maybe the sprint though, depending on how much training gets done in the next few weeks.

It was a fun race.  I hated the run though.  Torture for me is running on a straight, flat, boring rail-trail.  Blah.

I am riding the course in the morning.  I plan on starting about 5:30, ride from C-ville to millington and back to Ottter Lake on the rail trail.  This will allow time for the sky to get light and I can start the course in Otter lake.  I should hit Otter Lake about 6:20- 6:30 if you all want to ride along.

Glad to hear all the discussion about the race.  First and foremost we are praying for successful surgery. 

I like to hear the comments regarding the course and what people like and don't like.  Some people like the flat, fast and shaded.  But I can see how those get boring too. 

We have some things in the works to spice up the run course this year.  We can't change that its flat or that its an out and back, but we try to give you things that you don't normally see in run courses in a tri. 

Some ideas are still in the planning stages, and we are open to suggestions... so feel free to send them.

Hope to see you all on July 17th. 

Darn! That would have been great, but I just saw this!  If anyone heads out for other workouts please post up, we'd love to join in if we're available!

I’m going to ride the bike course and possibly go for a swim in Otter Lake Saturday 7/2; if anyone is interested let me know a time that works.

What time are you talking about?  I get out of work around7-7:30.  I could make Otter Lake in about 30 minutes from work.
