Anybody else counting the days?  What's on everyone's schedule this year?  Also, any bets on whether or not we can crash Setup's server again this year?

I'm planning on :

  1. Azaela Sprint - Register 1/2/08 7PM
  2. Riverwood Sprint
  3. White Lake Sprint - Register 1/3/08 7PM
  4. Kure Beach Sprint
  5. Wilmington YMCA Sprint
  6. Pinehurst Oly

Azaela and White Lake are the only ones I have to sign up for quickly, but I'll sign up for Riverwood at the same time. I'll get to the others before their prices step up. If only they'd give me a discount for signing up for a half dozen at once.

Don't think we'll crash the system, that's why they split up the opening dates.

5 days until I start training again. Looks like I'll be starting from scratch.

Edit: Why is my sig line suddenly a link?

Edit: Nevermind, found it and fixed it.

I am super excited for 2008!  I am planning on:

1. MAP
2. Latta
3. Lake Logan (maybe, this would be my first olympic)
4. Lake Norman
5. Cane Creek
6. Rambling Rose

I will have to sign up for MAP, Latta and Lake Norman right away.  I hope the server doesn't crash again this year, I think they learned from 2007!

I got in this morning to set up a profile for my wife and then it went down for a while.  Just got done buying a gift certificate thru the site so it's back up now.

I think the only ones I'll register for immediately are White Lake Half & Lake Norman. I've got a few more days to change my mind, but I'm virtually certain that I'll skip MAP this year.  I think the facility is really nice, but I think the bike course stinks (I always get stuck behind cars) and I don't enjoy the run either.  Instead I think I'll open up with the Foster Friends triathlon.  Not much info about it yet, but it's an open water swim (assuming there's water in the lake....) and it's at a better time in my schedule.  I always want to be doing a long ride the day of MAP because it's quite a ways out from WLH.  Foster Friends will be a nice test of fitness as I begin my taper. 

I'll be on a plane during Latta, so I'll miss that one, but i expect to do Over the Mountain this year again, too.  I have no idea what happens after that.

White Lake Half is going to be the only one I sign up for right away. At some point I will be signing up for the Beach2Battleship full. I think I will also sign up for the Foster Friends as a warm up to White Lake especially since it is so close. The water temp description for Foster Friends is a little off. Because of the big power plant on the lake the water temps get up into the low 90's during the summer and I know people that have skied on the lake in November. So 69-74 year round isn't quite right. I think that might be all I sign up for this year and just use the summer to get in long rides in prep for B2B.

I'm only signing up for Lake Norman to start, may try to beg my way into something else later (if I'm feeling froggy).  Planning on doing the Run for Your Life Grand Prix Series, to get me through the summer.

I'll be signing up for B2B and Patriot Half. I think doing the Duke Half, which i considered, only 7 weeks before B2B would be pushing it, so i hope the extra week will help. I'll also be doing Bandit's Challenge in August and may consider the Triangle Tri.

My early season will be spent bike racing until switching over to tri's in early summer (June 1).

Got in for B2B half, White Lake Half and Latta (sat)

As of 0400, there are 90 slots left for WLH and 300 for Latta.  I'm a little surprised about Latta still having that many but I'm sure they'll probably be gone early today

I got into Latta at 8:05 a.m. this morning with 127 spots left.  Kind of glad that I forgot to register last night.  By the sound of things, the experience wasn't very pleasant.  Hopefully we don't  have to experience it again tonight and tomorrow night.

The only one that I'm worried will fill up is White Lake Sprint. But I'll be checking in early.
