OK, who will be there? Full or half?
I have it from a pretty good source that it will be about 400 in the full and 400 in the half.

I’m doing the half as my first; I’ll be way in the back and cheering for the rest of you from there.
utahn coming in for his first iron distance.
Full. I think jkatsoudas and Dr Dre will be there as well.
You guys want to meet up at the Carbo load dinner or maybe at Hacienda(local tri crew hangout) on Thursday?
I am contemplating on doing the half. My foot is not fully healed yet from WF, so I am holding off until Friday to register (it is still open!).
My wife & I are doing the 1/2IM. 400 is a nice size field. Enough competition w/o the bike course being too crowded. Should be fun.
I will be doing the 1/2 as a breakthrough workout, getting to know the distance (my first 1/2) so I’m metally prepared for my “A” race of the year, 1/2 vineman. Arriving Thursday for the carbo load dinner and Mark Allen pep-talk. You can spot me by the bright tye dyes I like to wear!
Cheers,
Karma
I’ll be there for the 1/2. Despite my little moment of self-doubt a few weeks ago I did a 14 mile run on Friday and a 70 mile ride today, so I proclaim myself as ready as I’m gonna get. I heard from Andrew Robles that there are 550 registered for the 1/2 and 475 for the full. Should be a nice race.
I’m coming in Friday mid-day, so hopefully I’ll see some of you at registration, or on race day.

For those coming on Thursday, how about meeting up just prior to the carbo dinner/Mark Allen talk?
On Friday, meet up at the course talk? 4:00 PM I think.

Sounds good to me. I’ll make it this time 
I will be at the race, but not racing (ie volunteering). They have not told me what I am doing, but it is in the swim transition area. All I know is, I need to be there by 4:30AM, ugh.
Good luck to all you folks racing.
Rob and I will be there Friday at 4 for the course talk. Looking forward to putting some faces to names, and knowing who I’ll be cheering for all day! It’ll keep my mind off my nervousness doing my first half.

OK, for either the carbo load or the course talk—both Jaylew and I should be pretty easy to spot.

Cathy,
I just signed up for the ½. I haven’t been able to swim more than 1200 yards because of the shoulder separation so it should be interesting. The full and the 1/2 start at the same time. I have never been in a mass start race and I didn’t want CDA to be my first race of the season. I’m going to consider it an expensive training day with aid stations.
See you there.
Dave
I’ll be there too for the half but arriving only Friday evening.

Will you wear The Hat?
Dre’
And my thong!
I’ll be there for the full. Will be my 1st. IM-virgin!
