Going to be the most competitive race of the year. I saw the start list and it is the fastest around. The bike course is a bit strange as you will be riding on the left side of the street most of the way to avoid cross over traffic with other bikes. When you start the second loop, it is a really sharp right hand turn with a short steep incline right after you turn. You will also be merging with the other cyclists starting their first loop here. Watch out for the guys racing in banana hammocks only.

in fa sho. Bike course is going to be interesting. Watch for potholes. They filled most, but still be careful...

In!

I hear this race will be going totally bananas tomorrow, sold out!

Looked like some good performances out there. My post earlier this week proved to be prophetic... I accidentally cut the bike course and only did one lap. When I realized what I did it was too late and I moped around in transition and the start of the run. Pretty frustrated that I didn't better prepare myself. All in all I had a pretty good day and when I stopped pouting and actually started running I had a real good runrun by my standards. (under 8 min miles).

You weren't the only one Dave. This young lady went cruising by me at the end of the 2nd run loop about 1/2 mile from the finish. I saw her a few minutes after I crossed the finish line and I asked her if she was in the elite wave. She said no and that she only did one loop of the run!

I'm just happy I didn't get hit by a deer, one of the Hammocks got hammered by a deer. Three deer came across and one took him out. He want down pretty hard, helmet cracked but hopefully no broken bones. Another guy had his tire clipped by a deer but didn't go down.

Good to see you out there yesterday!

Interesting... Just now seeing these posts.. I actually know one of the guys that went down hard from the deer. I never saw any of the deer, but I'm slow so maybe the fast guys scared them off for me.

Capping it at 500? Going to be a big race this year. Anyone know if it is sold out?

Was waiting until tomorrow to see if I sign up but with 60% thunderstorms in the morning, I'm thinking I'll skip it. It didn't look capped out yet this morning.

0% chance tomorrow morning. I hope weather bug is right on this one.
