I'm in, also planning on a PR. Hope you're not in my age group, lol.. We'll be camping there all week prior to the race. |

Veteran 276 | Subject: RE: Quad Cities Triathlon : Official Thread I'll be there, as will my brother-in-law. First time tri for both of us. Goal is finish, Stretch Goal is to finish w/o having to walk on the run. I've heard great things about the race, really looking forward to it! |

| Subject: RE: Quad Cities Triathlon : Official Thread Yeah it's a great race, RD Eric Sarno does a fantastic job. Last year was my first time there and I'm planning to do it every year. The roads are nice and smooth with a couple of rolling hills you'll hit out and back. The run starts off on grass, then turns to sort of a gravel trail for maybe a half mile, then out on the road the rest of the way. Nothing real difficult. |

| Davenport, IA | Subject: RE: Quad Cities Triathlon : Official Thread Probably going to miss this one for the first time in four years. Not sure at all how I feel about that, but it's entirely possible that I'll still be out there doing bike support. Enjoy the race! It is a good one. |

Champion 15211 Southern Chicago Suburbs, IL | Subject: RE: Quad Cities Triathlon : Official Thread Water temp is supposedly at 74, but there are still two more days of heat to make it warmer. Wetsuit is still coming with me, but will be a game time decision based on the "you can swim with one but will be out of medal contention" temperature. |

Veteran 276 | Subject: RE: Quad Cities Triathlon : Official Thread I won't be swimming with a wetsuit...but then again I never planned to in the first place regardless of water temperature  Too big of an investment for my first tri...maybe in a year or two depending on whether I keep at sprint distance or decide to try for longer races. |

Pro 4838 | Subject: RE: Quad Cities Triathlon : Official Thread I'll be siiting out this year but I'll be driving the squad car leading the bike course. Easy OT as a cop plus I'm training for a marathon. Best of luck to all coming to compete and say hi to the sheriff deputy leading the race, it will be me. |

So how was being the squad truck? I think I would trade doing bike support for racing if I have the option again...it was much more fun to race. |
