I am flying out to work to the Expo(Love My Job). Any ST folks going out there?
I’ll be working the expo on Friday and pro transition on Saturday…
And you? Stop by Uncle
Racing age group olympic, but i wont be at the expo. I need to redeem my 39min swim last year in my 3rd olympic with a sub 24 or so

At the expo I’m helping the timing company with chip distribution and stuff like that…Saturday will be much more fun!
first year in a few that I won’t compete. But I’ll be running around take pics/video with my mexican sombrero. It looks like it won’t be as brutally hot as last year! nice for Heart of Lakes the following day (which I will be doing).
wvarta - what company are you working for at the expo -I’ll be stopping by since my wife is doing lifetime as her first tri ever.
Whats heart of Lakes?

Heart of the Lakes Triathlon (HOLT) is on Sunday in Annandale Minnesota, about 1 hour west of Minneapolis. It is a combo between a sprint and an Olympic with 1/2 mile swim, 21 mile bike and 5.3 mile run. Great race. A number of locals double up, I’m working the Lifetime Expo and racing on Sunday.

My first Tri on Saturday. I’m doing the individual Sprint. There are 11 from my company that are participating.
If you see people with team Bellacor.com jerseys, it just might be me.
I’ll be there, hoping to top Grant’s 39 minute swim record. Oddsmakers have the over/under at 41. Mystic Lake will be taking bets up until 8am Saturday morning.
At least the weather will be reasonable this year. I last did LFT in 2005 (my first Oly) and it was brutal. People were dropping like flies on the run. But, the bike course makes it totally worth it.
I can’t post pictures from my hooptie computer, but here I was at the end, glad to be alive:

The good news is that I’m 25lbs lighter now. The bad news is that I got rid of those see-through tri shorts (sorry ladies).
Good luck to all.

HAHA… god i wanted to kill myself after that swim. even though it was a PR by like 7 mins. I got out of the swim so pissed off that i did the bike course at 23.5mph which was almost a mph faster then any race i did last year.
I love the bike course. Last year was supposedly hot i didn’t feel it though. But then again i had a kid on teh bridge through a 10 gallon bucket of water on me.
Im going to try to break 2:10. I did it in Memphis but taht didn’t really count since the bike course was short. i did a 15min 1000 in the pool today.
I’m hoping for 23min swim, 1 hour bike, and a 40 min run. now i would love sub 40 run but i don’t think my legs are there. I did 24.1 mph down in florida and i think this bike course is faster then St. Anthony’s.

Polar HRM.
Good luck! Save some snacks for me at the finish.

Haha i can’t eat after races. I dunno maybe its just me. Im just never in the mood to eat food once i finish. Hell with how long the TT start is you could still finish before me. I came out of the swim last year as Kemper was running by the swim for his second run lap lol.
