Im in cant beat 35 bucks and I want to see the new course.

I'll be there for something like the 8th time. The Tinsel Tri is right at the top in terms of fun for your dollar. We should have a pretty good group from IITC.

See you there,
Gary Mc

Did I mention I did Kona

thats not cool - you warm climate types talking about upcoming races when I haven't done a tri in over three months and have about 6.5 months until my next one!

$35? I paid $50. Where did you see $35? Oh, that's for returning competitors, right?

Look for us IITCers in action. I'll be there. I hear it's a new venue this year. This race is always fun - great way to cap off the season and slide into the holidaze.

Me & Mrs. Relax2dmax will be there.

Keau!! wassuupp!!

 Matt, wheres Luke?. Tri-bb, Collegiate plus returning price. If there was a Google Earth shot of race day, you would be looking at a sea of red/orange/and black IITC'ers. I swear you guys own stock in backwards SB tri's!! Should be fun, later

Had fun at the new course. I was suprised to see how much drafting was going on. Typically if you had a 50-53min overall, you were in a pack of riders or you put up a smokin 5k split. The leader drafted off the escort suburban going 35 mph. Will plan to do it next year again. Keau

What a great morning for a race! Indeed, tons of drafting going on. I was about 8 miles into the bike and passed a guy who quickly geared up and jumped on my wheel for about 2 miles before someone coming the other direction yelled at him "NICE DRAFTING". Either he felt guilty and backed off or I lost him. My wife said she rode in a pack of three for a few miles all of them taking turns drafting. It wasn't USAT-sanctioned to my knowledge, so there was never a mention of legality on drafting, so I saw plenty, but made a point not to do it myself.
Managed a 13th out of about 70 in my AG, and my wife got 3rd in hers. Very fast, flat course, and a beautiful, but extremely short swim at the end in a brand new pool. The bike, we basically had one entire side of a parkway with two lanes. For me, I think that was a PB for 12 miles for me!

Thanks Bob. Guess I missed a good day of surf, but I checked it this afternoon and it looked walled and crowded! Heading to Trestles in the morning!
