5430 Long Course.... who's coming... and are you ready for the HEAT! :)

Roll call!!!

It’s gonna be a hot one. I keep hoping that Barry takes the water temp at a reasonable spot and that it’s over 78. Did the S-n-S last week in a skin suit and was GLAD I did not wear a wetsuit. A bit too toasty for me.

So are ya ready?!??!?!?!

Regardless it’s gonna be FUN!!!

You swam that time in a skinsuit?! I hate you.

I think I am headed over to Co Multiport right now to purchase a new skin suit. I did stroke and stride last week in a wetsuit and ROASTED!!!

I am 3 weeks post IMLP so I have no expectations for ths race except for a nice, hot training day. It’s always a fun race!

Post some of your running times and I’ll be able to toss the same response back at you! :slight_smile:

Have fun. I’m missing the 5430 and doing the Falmouth Road Race and then Timberman.

I’ll be there “backing you up” from several thousand feet behind you. Let me know if you need anything :</ It’s my first long event, and I am excited, but my ankle is not. It may be a very very slow run segment, although I am hoping tape and ibuprofen will keep me at my regular pace.

I’ll be there spectating.

I’ll be there, bringing up the middle. :slight_smile:

Come say hi!

I will be in a Rocky Mtn TNT jersey and black Pearl Izumi shorts on a Blade with a disc, starting at 7:00 in the second to last wave.

T-Racer and I will be there…she’s racing, I’m babysitting Paulo ; )
.

I’ll be the guy wearing an orange t-shirt making fun of MarkyV for starting a coaching business.

I’m in… Comming up from Colorado Springs on Saturday…

Where did you find the wave starts?

I’ll be there. Black shorts. White top. Sunburned all to hell.

:slight_smile:

I’m coming. This is my first HIM and I’m just hoping to have enough left for a decent run. I did the Loveland Lake 2 Lake and went too hard on the bike and had a horrible run. :frowning:

I’m in. Looking forward to another ‘Roaster at the Res’ !

I’m sure somehow the race will be wetsuit legal. But even if it is, you still skipping the wetsuit?

Hope to say Hi

DB

My first 1/2 also. I’m going to chill like Ice-T on my bike, and save it for the run.

My wife and I are coming up from Albuquerque for the race. It will be hotter in Boulder on Sunday than it will be back home. I am thinking of running with an umbrella for some shade. Can we get IV bags at the aid stations in addition to water and Gatorade?

I’m on the other side of MarkyV for wetsuits - between my 6’4" legs and poor form I LOVE the wetsuit and hope it stays in the 74 deg. range so I can wear it. I am cool with it if we don’t get to wear them, but it is easier for me to swim lazy with the wetsuit - with out it I actually have to think about what I am doing in order to post a decent time (for me).

Anyone know if the reservoir will be open for a quick swim on Saturday?
