St. Peters REC-PLEX Spring Triathlon

I will be there...i have a tacky looking blue bike with one red tire, one black tire and red tape (thought the red would look cool, but i was wrong...luckly i had to buy ONE tire so i got a black but can't justify buying another brand new tire when i don't need it!

my off set is about 25min...

Whoa! I start 5:45 offset!!  I'm so used to pacing around a race venue for 2-3 hours before the start, this will be weird for me. I was hoping to watching some swimmers for an hour or so before I got going.  Oh well, I guess it's to my advantage to get out there while it's cool and calm.

I can't think of a better way to spend Father's Day than by triing.  I'm excited for this first race of the season!

I'm number 157! My offset time is 0:39:00!

I did the St. Pete's race last fall. It was good. I'm trying to taper but I'm so excited all I want to do is run around, do a bunch of laps in the pool, or ride all day!

I first heard the weather was going to be scattered thunderstorms, now it's supposed to be partly cloudy.

I'll be rock'n Trigger and a orange and white stripped towel in the transition area! How will I find my fellow BT'ers?

GOOD LUCK at the race everyone! Hopefully, I'll be back next year!

 Looks like it's gonna be a hot one - don't forget the water and gatorade!

You can find me easily if you're the 2nd person at the race site. I'll be the first.

I usually arrive ridiculously early.  Just ask slovegreen.  Anyway, I'll be there with a RED Scott road bike with aero bars.  I'll have an end-piece.  And I usually wear black and red. I'll probably even sport a BT tattoo.  Gotta represent!

See you all out there. Have a great day, everyone!

one thing i learned from serpentine swim is start cutting over to the next side early. In my very first one, i swam right to the wall, shuffled to the next side then pushed off. Not that it saves THAT much time, but it does help.

 my off set is like 25m or so. I have a blue bike with one red tire, one black and red aero bars...aka "the clown bike"

I did the fall race last year - Fantastic Venue!  Good Luck everybody and don't forget to Have Fun!

Good Luck Brandon.  Happy Father's Day.

it was good. run was hot, but i got to meet brandon, aka "getsome", his wife and very cute baby girl.

i got 2nd in my age group.

Brandon got 2nd (i think) in teams....too bad he couldn't do it all by himself!

It was a good race..the run was very hot! and we had to wait around too long for the awards, but overall it was fun.

Sounds like everyone had a blast!  Congratulations on the race!  I did pretty well.  I finished the bike leg faster than I thought I would!

The heat wasn't too much fun on the run.
