Rev3 Florida - Half Rev : Official Thread

I'm in, and extremely excited for this race.  Rev3 does an awesome job - and I'm sure that this race will be top shelf, too.

And don't worry about sharks.  That time of year, the bigger concern is with the jellies.  Especially if the water is warm enough to not be wetsuit legal. :-)

Thanks for the reassurance Joel! My husband, also named Joel, is doing the race with me, it will be his first HIM. We are going to wear some sea safe lotion, but I know that won't prevent us from being stung. Now I can put my mind at ease about the sharks and focus on having a great race. I live in South Coastal GA so it is similar terrain to the Venice/Sarasota area.

I'm in for this race too.  Really looking forward to doing a Rev3 event as I hear they put on a great show.  This will be my second HIM and am hoping I remember all the learning moments I had from my first   I didn't realize jelly fish could be an issue in the gulf that time of year - thanks for that info.

What training plan are you using?  I'm using Fink's IM plan as it has a HIM built into it.

I'm using a plan I snagged from a tri magazine. It's really, really bike heavy. I'm building to Superfrog, which is Sept 30, so depending on the outcome of that, I might be out for revenge on this course, or I might be racing for fun

sebaf74 - 2012-09-09 7:45 PM I have been training for this race and finally signed up today before the price goes up in 5 days. I am training with my own made up plan Took the bike stuff from the Time Crunched Triathlete, the Run stuff from Galloway's half marathon plan, and the swim stuff from the workouts I like. If it works, it will be a miracle, LOL!

I'm sort of doing a mish-mash too:  Fink's bike, my own run and my masters swim coaches plan.  Should be interesting!
