Is anyone else going to do this race in a tri-suit? It seems like a Sprint race I was at almost everyone had a wet-suit.

I am doing the sprint race and I am not wearing a wetsuit. I will be wearing tri shorts and then a tri top for the ride and run.

I'll be rocking the Oly race and totally sporting a wet-suit! If allowed that is, not sure about water temps. I will however be wearing a tri-suit underneath the wet-suit for the bike and run!

I doubt the race will be wetsuit legal...at least as far as being eligible for awards. It might even exceed the 84 degrees for wetsuits period. The lake warms up fast!

I have no idea of the layout there, but I will be going there Noon on Saturday to pick-up my packet. I can find a good meeting place and then get back to you. Unless someone knows of a good spot to meet, just let us know.

On Saturday a good place to meet will be at the Gazebo just to the right (as you look toward the water) of the finish area. There is also a tent near the docks but I'm not sure if there is anything happening there.

That sounds like a good idea. Any time in particular for everyone. I can do it a little later in the afternoon. Noon may be just a little early for me.

Any meeting I attend will have to be early in the afternoon, as I have other plans for the afternoon.  Around noon or after the 12:30 race meeting would be best for me.

As far as the wetsuit, given the heatwave and the fact that the lake was supposed to be warm anyway, I'm guessing that they won't be legal, as 100 degree weather doesn't exactly keep water cool.  Bring it along anyway, but given what one of the race directors said, don't expect to be able to wear it.

Def down for a meeting, not sure when I'll show up saturday. I'm driving in from NYC where my sister lives and where I'll be staying the night before. If I don't see you guys at the Gazebo you can find me on the course wearing a Darkblue/lightblue/white Orca Tri-suit...or pre/post race wearing a WVU Triathlon Club shirt!

And that sucks about the wetsuit! oh well

Yeah sorry I didn't get to meet you guys. Kind of got caught up with getting there and getting situated. Hope your race went well as well. Good luck for the rest of the season.

I met Stake, but didn't get to meet anyone else. 

For those of you who did the Olympic distance race, how long do you think that swim actually was?  Given my pace that day and how fast I did a very easy 1550 yard swim last night, I'm guessing more like 2000 yards or so (not that the feeling of the swim being long was a bad thing as the swim is my best event.  I'm just looking to feel better about what I felt was a slow time).

ya dudes and dudets sorry I didn't meet any of you either, I was running behind that day.

I don't want to talk about the swim, it was a disatster. But yes it did seem a tad long, however I have never done an Oly swim, so I have nothing to really compair it to. Yet I hit 16:30 on the way out, and I thought I was going pretty well. So who knows!?!
