I'm racing an Olympic Distance in Connecticut, hoping to get my first finish of the year (after two injury-induced DNF's).

Good luck to both of us.

a sprint on Long Island - more of a training race as recovering from unexpected Mooseman race and a medical issue.

I am racing in my first triathlon this weekend. The Hyannis Sprint 1 Tri as part of the USAT U19 Northeast Series...as I am still a young lad. Has anyone raced there before/how is the race, course, etc?? Good luck to all who are competing this weekend!

Racing on Olympic distance here in Louisville (well, actually Shelbyville) - ready to cash in my training tickets and see what it will get me.

First tri in St. Louis on Sunday. Rec-Plex sprint(ish) distance. Should be a good start to the season.

I like that, "cash in your training tickets". I've been thinking a similar thing, I feel better/stronger then I have for any race start so I'm wondering what sort of result that's going to net me.

Best of luck to everyone!

I'll be there, too. Although, I did Race for Sight last month, so this'll be #2 on the season for me.

I'm at Wasa this weekend too for my first race of the season. If you see a tall, thin guy with a black Titanflex, stop by and say hi.

With all the fuss about IMCDA water temps, I can't help but wonder what the water is like in Wasa lake right now. At least, maybe it's cold enough to hold back the mosquitoes this year. ;)

"100% of the people who confuse correlation and causation end up dying."

F1 style duathlon in Austin - run, bike, run, bike, run. 1st ever(this format) and I'm guessing it's going to be really painful.

Will do, what AG are you in? I'm 35-39 riding a black and yellow Scott Plasma. I've heard that the lake is pretty shallow so it warms up a bit quicker than some of the other lakes around there but with the weather the way it's been I can't imagine it's warmed up at all. I haven't done any open water swiming yet this year so I'm going to jump in on Saturday to feel it out.

AG 40-44.

I'll be the guy swimming in the black wetsuit, and wearing lycra on the bike. ;)

Too funny, I'll be wearing the same thing! The only difference is that I'll be really sweaty...pretty much the whole time.

Oly on Sunday at Blue Lake as well.

1/2 Ironman in Lawrence, Ks. Otherwise I would be in St Louis/St Charles also doing the Rec-Plex Race. Its a great little race that they have in the spring and fall, same course always and a good way to judge your improvments over the summer and winter, I will miss doing that race this spring :(. But I will be back in the Fall before my big race (Ironman Arizona)

Ha!

I agree Rec Plex is a fun race, and the RDs do a good job.

However, I have to comment about it always being the same course... I've done the last four of them (Spring/Fall 2006, Spring/Fall 2007) and I don't think we've had the same run course twice, yet. It's always been just a little different. And, this year, it looks like they're going to be forced into having a different bike course due to flooding out by the turn-around. Crazy.

I'm heading to the home of the Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings for the Motor City Triathlon on Sunday.
Gonna do this Olympic distance race on scenic, historical Belle Isle. Then exchange some text messages with the Mayor.
And then take my mom & dad to the Tigers / Dodgers game at CoPa for Fathers Day.

And I will be listening to Eminem, Kid Rock, Iggy Pop, White Stripes and old Motown collections the whole time.
Maybe I'll mix in some techno.... (okay, probably not).

AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A DETROIT PARTY!

I've done the Hyannis Sprint 1 twice.

Once in 2002 and once in 2003.

I remember that the Red Wings won a triple overtime game in the Stanley Cup finals the night after the 2002 race and the 2003 race was altered due to rain and dangerous surf conditions.

so... there ya go.

Nice, sounds like full day. I'd leave out the techno as well. Best of luck at the race.

Yes, you are correct now that I think of it, the run has changed a few times. I have also raced in this for the last 3 years or so both spring and fall (A nice gettaway for a weekend from the Kansas City area). Its still a nice race and well ran as long as you miss the train (So far I have each time. fingers now crossed). Good luck on the bike if it changes. Oh well see you in the fall!

SandyHooker's tri in Long Branch, NJ. Will count myself lucky if the water temp is >60.

Last weekend it was 57.

Battle of Midway Oly in Midway, Utah. Water 55, snowed yesterday morning. Praying for high pressure system. It's a great race and venue though. Craig Walton and Emma Snowsill won Pro's last year.

I'm doing a sprint race on Long Island too - Gold Coast. First race after a spring with an injury. Can't wait!

that's the one I am supposed to do - but just made the decision to DNS - medical issue that is not worth racing over....
good luck
