I am doing the Full Distance, my first full. So pumped and nervous! Can’t believe its only one week out.
Me and my buddies and family are staying @ the Towneplace Suites by Marriot.
We are all planning an OWS Friday morning(as are many others) if anyone wants to meet up.
Who else? Distance? Where you staying?
I’m in for the half. Still not sure about needing warmer gear for the bike.
in for the half. staying at riverview suites. i may be able to make an OWS friday. not sure. driving down from cbus, oh on thursday to my friend’s house in fayatteville then head over to wilmington on friday.
Yea I am monitoring the the forecast, looking pretty good right now

Sweet ! I am in Charleston, WV. Leaving Weds night
In for the half in spite of missing Tues-Sat this week of good training due to virus. Maybe a little forced rest will be good for me. Did the full in '09; great race.
In for my first full. Did the half last year. Hoping for warmer weather than we had last year.
I’m in for my first ever 1/2…nervous as hell!
My wife and I are doing the full. Will be there Thursday afternoon. We’ve heard nothing but great things about the race. Looking for a fast current and tailwind the whole way!
I live in Wilmington and have done either the full or half every year they’ve had this race.
If anybody feels like meeting up for lunch on firday their are a few of us meeting up

Full for me along with two other guys from our tri team up here in New England. Looking forward to it!!!
I’ll be there for the half.
Quads are sore today after doing the Tough Mudder yesterday and the head cold is not making it easier.
Looking forward to the event.
For an event like this how do you warm up for the bike beforehand?
You don’t. I found you just warm up on the bike. It helps to have a full wetsuit. Last year the weather was about the same and all the people that had real problems with the cold all had sleeveless
Anyone looking for someone to split a hotel with for Friday night?
Or, if you read b/w the lines. My plans have fallen through and I’ve left finding an alternative a bit late… Thanks!
I am in for the full. Heading down Wednesday with 4 other teammates (The Everyday Triathlete). Friday morning swim sounds great. What time?
I’m in. First HIM. Wife and I are flying in on Wed and staying at the Hilton Riverside.
And yep, full wetsuit packed and coming. I am not a fan of being cold.
Awesome! I believe we are meeting @ 9am but I am not sure where, possibly the starting area of the full. Will probably know Thursday . From what I understand there is big group of peeps that meet up to swim, just not sure where
so what are you planning to wear on the bike if it’s in the 50s and raining?
I am in for the full, staying at the Hilton Riverside. Swim Friday am sounds good. Anyone going to the dinner Thursday?
I am likely wearing my cycling top w a baselayer, armwarmers , probably just compression sleeves on calves w my tri shorts.and possibly a vest if its raining
