Sullivan Civic Center Triathlon : Official Thread

I'm in. This will be my 3rd year. Like you, this is always my kick start to the Tri year. I start my HIM training a week after this race so it's a fun way for me to get going for a long summer of training!

Hopefully Mother Nature will be kind to us!

I'm skipping out this year but best of luck to everyone racing. Have a blast and hope you get a break with the weather like we did last year!

hello folks, in it to (not) win it.

What's the over under on the temp and wind for the day? 

Dear God I hope it is warmer than that.  I don't care about the wind.  Doesn't bother me. But I just don't want it to be that cool. 

Oh, and which direction for the wind.  I'm hoping straight out of the south. 

See you there John.  Will be good to see you again.

So as of right now, Intellicast has the forecast as 71, mostly cloudy, chance of rain and wind at 11mph from the SW.  That will change at least 3-4 times before we get there.

Turns out I just can't stay away after all.

Signed up this morning. Nothing like waiting till the last minute !

Yep.

Be a bit cooler than normal.  But no rain is good.  Wouldn't mind another 5 degrees up though.

See you there John.

Another year in the books. I almost stayed home when I saw the weather for today! Every year I say I'm not racing Sullivan next year - but then I always go back.

Agree. I was halfway there and still thinking about turning around. Glad I didn't.

Had a GREAT race.  Missed the podium by 34 seconds.  Fastest I've ever done that race.  Fastest I've ever run a 5k other than a few stand alones.  I have a feeling this is going to be a great weekend.

And with the winds I've been biking in lately, yesterday really didn't bother me all that much.  Pleasantly surprised.

I agree that it was a good time.  The windy was strong but not to bad as many of my recent training rides lately have been in windy conditions.  I had an overall good race and great time.  I bettered my time from last year and enjoyed the after race hanging out.  This was my second time for this tri and I will be back.

My wife also did the race and ended up medaling in her very first tri.  She said the race was very tough.  Even tougher than doing the Goofy Challenge at Disney World. She kept saying that this would be her last, but then they called her name for placing and she was ecstatic.  A little while later, she even started talking about how she could do some more training and be ready for another tri this year.  She may be hooked.  :-)
