Roll Call: Vineman 70.3
Quote | Reply
Well, its getting close. I expect it to be another great race since Dave L. and Russ do a great job. I am going to get to start in the middle of the swim waves this years, rather than the last like last year. Hope this means it will be a little cooler when I hit the run.

Will be nice having registration and T2 at the same location.

I will be staying in the motor home parked next to the church at the swim start again.

Look forward to seeing folks there.

Cathy, any planned get together like you did last year?

I'm in...coming from The Woodlands, TX. Arrive Thurs AM, staying at my father in law's place somewhere on the run course. Getting together for a dinner with ST'ers would be great. How about a swim/ride/run on Fri??

Out. Battling through some quad issues. Hoping to make Big Kahuna in Santa Cruz in September.

I think Hinds and Piper are in.

Wish I could say the weather will be cooler. It has been HOT!! Be prepared for a no wetsuit swim since we dont know until the day of the race which way it will go. Since I am a 4 hour drive away, I wont get to the school until Sat around 1. Want to make the first race meeting. I will have my standard flower at my T2 bike location. I will be a tall skinny guy walking around with a gillians hat. Hope to see ya.

Most of the locals won't be coming up until Saturday. No way am I fighting Friday afternoon/evening traffic.

We can meet at reg. on Saturday. I'll probably do a short ride early afternoon.

I'm in, well at least for the swim and bike. I'm having achilles issues and haven't been able to run in a week. I would like to head up pretty early on Sat, but I will have the husband, 3 year old and puppy in tow, so I don't know what time we'll actually make it up. We are staying at the Best Western Garden Inn. I'm probably planning to go no westuit anways. We'll see how my swim goes at Catfish on Sunday. If I do ok without my wetsuit then I probably won't use it no matter what the rule. I hate being hot in a wetsuit

Great, see you there.

As long as the water is under 78, I have had no issues in my long suit. (Guess I dont swim that hard, yet). The only other reason I would rather use it is when I get rough water in the swim, it saves my butt when I freak out.

Boy do I agree. I would love to come to the Friday evening get together with some Pros, but as you stated, the traffic will be a mess, and I cant get away earlier enough to make it in time.

I'll be there with a small contingent from UC Davis. I'm just hoping my 2nd half will be a bit easier than my first (Auburn).

I'm in. Mostly race prep for IM Moo but I've had some good races at 1/2 Vineman in the past. I'll be up there Saturday afternoon sometime.

I'll be there. Hoping for 5 less flats than last year =)

78 is when no one is allowed to wear a suit but 74 is the cutoff to stay eligible for award sor something right?

78, wetsuits, and awards are all together. Above 78, you can wear a wetsuit, but no awards. Above 84, no wetsuits period.

Supposed to be 114 in Sac on Sat. I have to race in west sac sat. Looks like the forecast cools down for next week so we may have a perfect day, and wetsuits. :o)

I believe it is 78 and 84 degree cutoffs.

I'll be there, coming up from SD on Saturday. Any other Tri-Club members making the trip? Also any TCSD members warming up this weekend with the club race?

Of course it hurts. The trick is not minding it hurts.

Tai it won't be that hot, I promise! I've done Vineman the last 10 years and it's hit 100 maybe once!! It's normally high 80's! Not to bad and no humidity like Hawaii!!

Damn I like humidity:) Did Xterra Temecula last year and my throat was sooooooo dry the entire race. Looking forward to Vineman, sounds like a super cool race. Crazy as at my masters workouts every time (okay 3 times so far) I mention that I'm doing Half Vineman, the person I mention it too is like "hey I did that race before!" Very weird being way out here in Hawaii.

My response died.

This weekend is the killer heat. 114 in Sac, 108 in auburn. (I race the west sac tri on Sat :o( )

Next weekend, the vineman race weekend, is supposed to cool down. But, depending on how hot the water gets this week, and how much if any fog next week, who knows what the water temp will be.

It may not have been 100 with I finished vineman last year, but at 3 when I finished, it was WAY TOO HOT!! (And in may have only been the low 90's)

Assume it will be hot, and no wet suit. Then no matter what happens, you are mentally prepared for the worst. But again, forecast says atleast a 10 degree cool down but we all know how good 10 day forecasts are.
