Subject: RE: To those who have done Lifetime Tri in 05 Denise2003 - 2006-07-11 9:02 AM I got 3 questions: 1. Where would be the best place to find parking? Last year we parked just west of Nokomis. 77N (Cedar ) past 62 (Crosstown ). Take a left at the 1st light. Residential neighborhoods. We found a spot just 2 blocks west of the light, rode our bikes with gear bags strapped around our shoulders. 2. Looks like my wave wouldn't start until 10am. What can I do between 7a (or even earlier) to 10a to kill time? Talk to people. Not much else to do. Talked to running buddies. Talked to triathletes I met swimming at Nokomis. Took a nap. Brought some old sandals and an old cotton T which I didn't mind losing. Left them close to the swim area before my wave. They were there when i got back. Drink lots 'o Gatorade. 3. (I guess this last one is for everybody ) Weather forecast is calling for 98F humid heat. Should I be drinking gatorade instead of just water? Many thanks in advance. I am freaking out now. See #2. BTW, forecast is for 102. Denise, what time are you going to the Expo Friday? I've got a half day at work, my co-workers are taking me out to lunch (last day at work), and I should be to the Convention Center at about 2pm. Maybe you can hook up with some other BTers at the expo. |
