Houston Triathlon - Olympic Course : Official Thread (Page 3)

Is it safe to assume transition will not open untill Olympic is almost done?  Man it is going to be a long wait if so

great news

Rookie question.

In my race packet, i got 3 numbers.  a bib number and 2 sticker numbers, like the ones that go on your helmet.  I did not get a number for the bike (ie one for the down tube) so do i put the 2 smaller stickers on my helmet front and back or side and side?  Or does one go on my helmet and one on the bike?  if so where?

another rookie question-

If we picked up our packet early do we still have to attend the athlete briefing on Saturday at 4?

Race Guide is Ready.... Sorry about the wait. This one took me a bit longer.

Am I reading this right?  Free Trek Carbon Bike usage for the Tri for the ladies?

That is awsome... if only I had a good wig.

I wonder how many people are going to see the picture of the bike with the race number on the right, but not read that the numbers should be on the left? 

If you see bib 330 on the run please remind me I am almost done.  I hope I trained enough for the oly invitational wave to catch me.

I am faithful to my Dori but that sounds awesome!

Oh and I hate to break it to you Randy but it would take much more than a wig

Can't fix stupid - just have to hope people read. How many folks do you think we'll see with a sticker on the front and back of their helmet?

Oh and I will remind you if you remind me #1494.

Well, it was worth a shot.  Actually my wife got a Trek carbon road bike for tommorrow.  I was going to steal it from her, but it is a wee bit small for me. We will take it out for a spin in a bit and then take it to transition.

Now I'm trying to figure out if I can get off the course in under 3 hours tommorow or not.  I'm concerned my training isn't really sufficent.  I don't think I'll DNF, but I might DFL.

I hate waiting on the results.  Mine were not up before I left, and now I'm waiting impateintly so I can post my race report.

Of course, I know I wasn't first, or last, but I'd like to know where on the scale I ended up with my splits.

Hope everyone had a good race.

I posted this on the OUM Facebook page and I'll throw it out to you fine folks too:

I left my pair of Zoot Ultra TT 4.0 (size 11.5) shoes next to the ice baths. They're bright red. Let me know if they turned up. I'd rather not have to spend $130 for another pair. Much appreciated!

*slaps forehead in stupidity* 

I did the Oly and I think it was slightly short.  Which is the opposite of what you want to hear. 

The calculation of speed was way off for Bridgeland at first.  Once we got the official distancces and ran the calculation by hand it made a lot more sense.

Hope you find your Zoot's.
