Aquabike? (Page 3)

Traditional triathlon venues have had aquabikes/aquathlons for a while, nothing new.

Some races might not be making enough money on just triathlons so an aquabike helps them over the edge.  Other RD's might just realize that they can make more revenue with little extra cost by holding other races at the event.  If you're not WTC and maxing out the course capacity why not hold other events?  You've already paid for the police presence/closed roads/other high fixed costs.

I'd be expecting to see more of the possible swim-bike-run combinations at "triathlon-headlined" events.  Think of it this way, more participants of any variety will keep your entry fee lower.

WOW X2.  Maybe the RD should have checked with you before making changes to YOUR local tri. 

Yes, this is MY local tri in MY home town in MY state and in MY country!  Do you really have an issue with possessive pronouns or are you just looking to sling some sh**?

Speed chess not doubt.  :-)

I was afraid the French might not get their share of bashing in this thread.  I am relieved now.  Carry on.

Wow! You OWN the race?

3D (one of our local big RD's) is offering aquabike at almost all if its events this year so you're in LUCK! Not about the chess part though 

I also appreciate your attempt at lightening up this thread!

We interupt your regularly scheduled aquabike bashing to bring  you an educational moment from the 10th grade English class you slept thru:

The relationship expressed by possessive determiners and similar forms is not necessarily one of possession in the strict sense of ownership. The "possessor" may be, for example:

• the person or thing to which the "possessed" stands in the designated relationship (my mother, his wife, your subordinates, our boss);
• the person or thing of which the "possessed" is a part (my leg, the building's walls);
• a person or thing affiliated with or identifying with the "possessed" (his country, our class, my people, my triathon);
• the performer, or sometimes the undergoer, of an action (his arrival, the government's overthrow)
• the creator, supervisor, user, etc. of the "possessed" (Prince's album, the Irish jockey's horse).

Interrupt....not interupt. This is from the 5th grade class you slept through.

Forget that.... I keep getting an error when I try to log into www.beginnertriathete.com

Relays are a good way to introduce people into the sport. Then once they are out there, they see all the excitement and decide that they want to do the whole thing on their own.

Relays start last and are scored seperately, so it won't effect me any.

Now you are talking!

Agreed.  And anything that gets more folks involved is generally a good thing.

Its a dam narrow mind that can only spel a word won weigh!

I'm an electrical engineer so not expected to spell correctly....and how did you know I slept thru the 5th grade?!  I actually slept thru about 19 years of school.....

Funny how all the courses before Engineering were snoozers.  Now if I could only figure out this tri-thing.   Swimming then biking then running?  Or is it running then biking then running?  Wait, swimming then biking but not swimming?
