EagleMan Ironman 70.3 Triathlon (Page 2)

hdhtri - 2006-06-02 8:34 AM We have a group of 7 BTers who will be there. It is hard to meet for a meal but for a picture would be great. My guess is that it is easiest to meet up right after the mandatory pre-race meeting on saturday. What about right after the meeting everyone go outside the building and take a left (if looking at the building a right) and wait over on the south side of the building where last year they inspected the bikes. Just an idea

So is this the meeting place after the mandatory meeting????  

Don't worry, I won't be taking any of the slots from you.  My goal is to finish.

Are you serious? There are 350 in our age group?? Ouch.. BTW, no fear from me stealing any Clearwater spots from you, I'm just hoping to finish my first 1/2 iron intact (on minimal training)!  I'm sure you won't need to finish in the top 13 anyway. Some rolldown is inevitable.

Daremo - 2006-06-06 11:12 AM Well, one down ..... only 348 more to go.

2 down.... 347 more to go. 

It is very hard in our age group.  It is the most competitive.

Here is a break down of last years qualifying times for 35-39 age group:

 1   4:17:32  Hawaii winner
 2   4:26:58        
 3   4:27:50  Hawaii winner      
 4   4:29:18        
 5   4:32:27  Hawaii winner      
 6   4:37:11        
 7   4:38:35        
 8   4:40:33        
 9   4:40:35        
 10  4:41:07
 13  4:43:13  IMFL

My guess is others who had these times were probably already in the race. 

Hey Daremo,

I cut/pasted the 35-39 age group list into to excel and came up with 318.  That has to be the biggest AG by far. But hey, based on the postings here  you only have to beat out another 300 other racers. If you really smoke the bike course like you plan, you'll be well on your way to Clearwater!

I got my race number 646.

YOu can see yours at the following link:

Heidi,

Heidi, hope everything gets straightened out.

hdhtri - 2006-06-08 8:20 AM So I am not listed on this list but I am listed on the eagleman site. I just sent an email to Vigo.

Make sure you check the ENTIRE list. I scrolled down to where my AG started showing up and did see my name and got a little spooked, kept checking and there I wass Looks like the names are listed by swim wave, and then alphabetical within each wave. If you atill aren't on there, I really hope it gets straightened out.

I just checked for you. THere is a NATHAN HOGAN from Bristol, CT #100something. Any relation? Possible mix-up?

My first 70.3. Should be interesting.

 I am sure that is not an issue to get a number on race day.  It is a good thing it has been identified before hand.
