Roll Call - October 30th SwimRun NC
Quote | Reply
My wife and I will be one of the teams competing in this awesome event this weekend. The course is epic and the weather forecast is fantastic. Is anyone else from ST land also racing?

Herbert has been posting photos of the course on the FB page.

I was supposed to be in for this but my partner was in a skydiving accident over the weekend. Status to be determined now.

That stinks. I hope your friend is ok and you can find a new partner.

I'll be there with a running buddy, we have no expectations other than an adventure and some good brews at the Green Heron Ale House. I've been avoiding the 80 degree pool swim work outs and focusing on open water to get acclimated to the 55-60 water temps. Looks like the weather will be nice.

Fiancé and I will be there racing...just looking to have fun. A couple weeks ago cut up sleeveless wetsuits sounded great...now we're really wishing we had sleeves.

Where is everyone staying?

I bet you are fine during the run and the swims are not going to be that long. If you still have the sleeves, there is always Gorilla Tape.

We found something 20 min away on VRBO.

Hubby and I will be there also, driving down from Philadelphia. Excited for a new adventure!

Any locals have recommendations on a good place to watch the Eagles-Cowboys game Sunday night? Pictures online suggest the Green Heron Ale House does not have a TV :)

Ex-cyclist and I were in now we're out. He's hacking up an lung and I've got a gimpy calf. Bummed to miss what looks like an awesome event.

That stinks. I hope you are both feeling better soon.


Anyone else find it funny that this is mostly a ST couples crowd going to the race? (Not to imply anything about Ex and DD.)

Got a partner -- I'm in. See you all out there. Pretty scared about the cold, not going to lie.

Sweet! Welcome back.

Looks like we will get cool morning with cold water and a warm afternoon. Wearing 2 swim caps instead of just on has kept me warmer in cold water. Not sure it is worth the hassle for 500m.

We would have been the best looking couple in the race I'm certain!

+1 for the 2 swim caps.
I've found that one of those thin skull caps that you wear biking on a sub 50 degree day makes for a good base layer. I put a latex swim cap over the top and it is pretty toasty in the 60 degree water I've been swimming in.

And as I said to folks, the water sounded worse than it was. :-)

It was great to see everyone there.
