That’s one of the reasons I’m not doing it this year. I have just had miserable times the years I’ve raced. Too cold of water for me. I am hoping to be down there to spectate though. Will know more after a meeting at 9:15 this morning!

Will be my first HIM…
ccccccoooooolllllddddddd wwwwaaattttteeeeerrrrrrr
Not to worry. It’s cold, but a Friday morning dip at La Jolla always seems to take the edge off. I am just hoping for reasonably warm conditions once I get out of the water…last time, the swim was pretty much the warmest I was all day!
I am getting in on Thursday and staying at the Comfort Suites Marina…anybody else?

Cathy, I hope you make it down, it would be fun to meet you.
I couldn’t put my face in for the first 100 or so at Chicago this year, and that was 60… Cali is going to hurt!
RR
G - I also arrive Thursday, but have to work Friday so I’ll stay in SD. But if that Cove swim is early enough, maybe we could make it a ST party? I’d be in!
RR
I’ll be there! I’m planning on flying down Thursday and working in our office down there, then taking Friday off work to hang out. WOO!!!

Not sure what time…probably around 9. Will swim for 20 or so, then off to the Potato Shack for pancakes!! Yummy!
You are more than welcome to join us. Feel free to contact me…I got my real info in my profile.

OK, just put a flight on 24-hour hold. Arriving Thursday AM (working the rest of the day) and leaving Tuesday night. Staying in Carlsbad at friends until Monday.
We’ll have to drag KestrelKerri out too!

I’ll be doing body marking and passing out water on run. Looking forward to meeting as many of The Womens as possible.
OK. I’m now flying down Friday AM, but can drive straight to LJ and meet up with you guys.
clm
sweet! Let me know if there’s a ST meet up this year. Friday afternoon would be good… since post race I am headed up to LA to watch the SOOOOOOOOX!!!
-B
P.S. Don’t ask why I’m over here…
shoot - I have to work and couldn’t be over to the cove until noon. But I do like the idea of a friday meeting, if anyone wants to swim then? or something else in the early afternoon.

I am going. This will be my 3rd year. Last year I said I would not do it again until I had forgotten the swim. Well, I caved under the peer pressure and registered. This year not as excited for some reason. I have always gone with friends. This will be my first completely solo race. No friends or family going to even watch :(. Since I am coming from Texas I am really not familiar with the area. If y’all are swimming, I would love to try to meet up. I haven’t made my arrangements yet. Can you see me dragging my feet?!
I am coming from Texas as well…much as I hate to admit it. 
I will have 7 other athletes from the DFW area with me. Where are you from? (Unless, of course, you are one of my peeps posting incognito) Feel free to join us for dinner, etc…we will be your surrogate family!
I know what you mean about the swim…kind of like labor - you tend to forget the details until it is too late.
G
I am coming from San Antonio. When are y’all getting there? Where are you staying? I would love to join you for dinner.
We are getting there Thursday afternoon and staying at the Comfort Suites on Coast Hwy.
I will be getting a final headcount for dinner and will add you in. Planning to go to an Italian place in Carlsbad that I have been to everytime…it’s good, safe and reasonably priced.

There will be a main ST meet up Friday PM, time tbd, at the expo.
