NashVegas FYI (Page 2)

Incorrect.  S2F has created a new course.  It has not yet been put out to the public yet. 

two questions:

1. Is this event one where you can check your bike the day before?

2. wave start? TT start?

c. it is mostly a trail run right?

It sometimes varies based on attendance.  This weekend I expect a low turnout so we will probably gather up at the top of the two climbs.  I would say 15-18 mph

Looks easier to me.  Flat (TN Flat...), 1 good climb, flat, then wicked downhill into T2.  Not bad.  Gonna roll more then it appears I bet, but not bad for TN. 

PS - on map my ride that climb is about 1.7 miles long and is only listed as a CAT 5 climb, last years had 3-5 climbs that were that bad.  Would not be surpprised if people were 5-10 mins faster this year.

Great job noticing the start time change, that is awesome!!  Was wondering why it was starting so late.

This is going to be a very fun race race this year, look forward to the new bike course! 

I've been getting ready for Leadman Tri in Bend. If this thing is only 1200ft total I'm more than ready. Did close to 6000 at Hot 100. Good luck everyone. Lets hope for cool weather. or at least less humidity.

Looks like you will get cooler weather but possible thunderstorms and likely very humid.  I've held off registering until tomorrow and I see the latest weather forecast.  What is the standard when chance of thunderstorms?  Do they change it to a duathlon?  Cancel altogether?  Or only change if there are storms in the area at swim start time?  I realize the cost of putting on the event is a sunk cost for the race director and there are no refunds.  I just hate risking it when I haven't signed up yet.

It will not rain, it will not rain, it will not rain...  it's going to rain  

The good news is, it won't be hot... but it is going to rain. Rain never killed anybody, I did an entire Ironman in the rain. Just crossing my fingers it is not raining so hard they cancel the swim (or worse, make it a duathlon) or lightning, which will cancel the entire event.

I've been debating a last-minute registration but think I will sit this one out.  I hope the weather holds off for you all.  If the forecast didn't call for thunderstorms, I'd do it.  I just don't want to risk a cancellation.  

Good luck and safe racing to all.

The timing of the rain/storms will be interesting. Right now this is what weather.com shows for Saturday morning:
