Elite  7783      PEI, Canada |  Subject: RE: Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon : Official ThreadOriginally posted by ChrisM BTW, I'll believe it when I see it, and way too soon to be accurate, but accuweather forecasting an 82 degree day I did a 50 min run in 77 degrees today - that was warm enough. |

Expert 1111 Albuquerque, NM | Subject: RE: Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon : Official Thread No booties here. I've made the swim a couple of times in the past... cold feet were never an issue for me. |

Veteran 1127 Shawnee | Subject: RE: Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon : Official Thread I think you all have convinced me to bypass the booties. I've done a few cold swims before (not this cold) and apart from numbness in T1, it's not been a problem. How about the run to T1? What's your gameplan there? |

I put a small water bottle and a pair of shoes (zoot slip on) for the run in the bag they'll provide. Take off the wetsuit,stuff it in the bag and go |

| 33 | Subject: RE: Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon : Official Thread Chris, How hard is it to find your bag for the run to the transition area? I've read a few reviews where people had a hard time finding their bags. I would prefer to run in shoes, but I don't want to spend 10 minutes finding my bag. Thanks for any advice. |

I've read a few reviews where people had a hard time finding their bags. I would prefer to run in shoes, but I don't want to spend 10 minutes finding my bag. Thanks for any advice. I don't recall any issues, other than being wobbly from coming out of the bay, LOL. If you've done an ironman with gear bags, it's like that. If not, they're lined up in rows, volunteers telling you which row to go down, then it's just a matter of finding your bag. I don't recall it taking more than a few seconds once I was directed to where my number would be. One idea may be to get some colored tape and wrap it around the drawstring, or some other identifying mark to make it stand out from all the other identical bags. |

| 33 | Subject: RE: Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon : Official Thread Thanks. I luckily had a number close to the end of the row at CDA so it was pretty easy. As I'm not going to be fighting for a podium spot I think I'll find my bag. Thanks again. |

| Deep in the Heart of Texas | Subject: RE: Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon : Official Thread Picked up my bike this afternoon from Sports Basement and rode the first half of the course. I didn't appreciate how much fun it would be to ride with carrying my 20# tri bag - tends to affect handling and balance a bit. Its going to be a fun race. My evaluation so far - flat for the first mile and a half and then you get out of the water. Going to swim the course tomorrow morning and then off to packet pickup. I hope everyone has a great race!
