Any triathletes here?

I'll actually be helping out up there Thursday and Friday, though I won't be competing.

Anyways good luck!

Cool. Get my info packet with my exact start time on Friday.

Good advice to trust my training. I've been working towards this since January, and feel I'm right where I need to be physically. The key will be getting through the swim. Since it won't be a mass start, it'll be a bit less chaotic. I'm getting pretty stoked about it since the trial run my bro and I did last Friday.

And for the record, I won't be wearing the mankini.

Good luck! I was supposed to do one next weekend but work the last few months has hosed my training so instead of doing two or three this year I'll end up with one in September.

It's been said, trust your training. Do the race at the pace you know you can and don't go out too fast and end up walking the run. Get there early and lay out your stuff so you don't have to think in T1 and T2. Make sure your helmet is fastened on your head before you touch your bike. Make sure you don't get busted drafting.

Most importantly that makes a pleasant race for me - thank the volunteers pointing the way as well as the cop stopping traffic for you as you blow past them at warp speed. I think they appreciate it. Remember to smile and offer support to your fellow racers. Oh yeah, have fun!

Good luck! You'll be more than fine.
