Pawling Triathlon

I'll be there - No. 270. My very first tri!

I'll be there also, #212. It was my very first tri last year. The weather wasn't great, but I had a great time and love the whole experience.

This was my first race last year as well. Actually it was my only race last year. Triwor is not kidding about the weather last year. This year the weather should be great. Looking forward to another great experience at the race.

I'll be there as well. Bib #1. I enjoyed racing in last year's weather (much like the Harriman race 2 weekends ago); but I'll race in any weather. Good luck!

With a race this short, my high school cross country coach's sage advise comes to mind - go out fast, pick it up in the middle, then sprint to the finish.

Arrive early; transition gets crowded.

Memorize your rack position and rehearse the flow of bike out/in, run out/finish.

Buckle your helmet before you touch your bike, and don't unbuckle it until your bike is racked.

Keep to the right on the bike except for passing.

Have fun.

Im registered, #370 something. I did it last year, and it was a fun race. Im planning on coming even though my coach does not think it is a good idea, but I just really like this race. He doesnt think that a sprint is needed at this point while training for IMLP.

I got 3rd in my AG last year and want to see if I can do it again.
