Triangle Triathlon

You may want to plan on it starting at 7:00 am. The website says 7 and the swim wave times start at 7 in the instructions. I think the top of the instructions is incorrect.

JessNC1018 - 2007-07-05 10:56 PM Oh come on! You can jump in for 15 min or less. Over 1,000 aren't too scared At least come out and cheer us crazy people on! You can laugh at us when we call in sick on Monday because we caught something from the water. haha

The nuclear waste in the lake just adds to the "glowing" personality!!!  

I'm in ! I don't know my # yet... but I get a pink swim cap ! yay! i'll be in the last wave, the women's novice.

2 questions...

As a novice... is there any type  of finisher's medal or certificate for this race? Or are awards only given in the top 3 of each category? Or is this a ... i get the reward of my satisfaction for having done it ? hehehe..

Anyone interested in a general BT meet and greet at the race site ??? I see about 20 signed up via the RR section of this site but just a few folks on this thread... ? anyone have a BT sign or something to coordinate? I just have my BT t-shirt i'm going to wear post race and my handy water bottle for the bike.

hahah... yep, i'm planning (for now) to wear an orange shirt for the cycle/run portions, I'm guessing it will have brown streaks from the lake post swim... so it will look like i got hurled on or something.

I don't want to cramp anyone's pre-race routine.  I'm planning to arrive by 6-ish as well to do a warmup swim and get my bearings... (first tri-race!) ...

... how about we have a "floating meet up" pre and/or post race at the gazebo 6am and later ? @ the structure/atrium/information thing... it's glass and wood.... & is located on the parking lot, between the swimstart and transition area.  I'll make a sign or something/.. lol.  It is to the right of the entrance, first lot on your right after park entry.

I'll be at the info meeting tonight as well... will wear my bt "i train with my friends..." shirt

so i see the participant list, but how do you know the order that we are listed (alphabetically) is how the bib #s are done... or am i just missing  the appropriate list?  which is definitely possible.

for those of you who are doing this as your first tri, that is awesome!  have a great time - it's a fun race! and the whole water thing is way overblown.  imo it's just another lake, so no worries.
