Roll Call! Who's in for Patriot's Half in Williamsburg, VA? This will be my first time doing this particular race - sounds like a nice course!

I'm considering doing Patriot's HIM 3 weeks after I complete Timberman. Not yet sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm in. This is to be my 3'rd HIM on the way to a full. Was just reviewing the course today and looks to be a non-wetsuit affair as water temp in 2010 was 79F. Fine by me.

Other than that, the course is reported as FLAT, FLAT, FLAT.

Promises to be a great day.

The Half was wetsuit legal last year--barely.

I wonder what the chances are that we are swimming this weekend, considering that the James River is probably going nuts right now.  Anyone have any sightings?

From the website:

9/8/11 - Patriots Water Temp = 79F
The water temp may drop with the flood stage hits on Friday day/evening. Currently, water is free of debris, quality check is clean, and current is steady. Should conditions worsen in the water we we hold the races in a duathlon format. The Half will have a 2-mile run on the front and the Sprint will have a 1-mile run on the front.

I didn't see it on FB before, I saw it on the VTS website.  For some reason they post it to their main VTS page and not the race page:  http://www.setupevents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=events&series=vts

I was also signed up for the Hurricaned-out tri so this is a bit better. :-)

Thank you for posting the update here, this is great news!!  I sure hope we swim and not do the 2 mile run idea. :-)

Anyone know how we get a 2012 thread going for Patriot's Half?

Also - what's the swim like in the river? I've only done lake swims, so I'm curious about swimming in currents.

Thanks.
