So my friend and I are driving to the event but were interested in eating somewhere locally afterwards, I’m looking for suggestions on how to clean up afterwards.
Are there pay showers in Fort Wilderness?
Scrub off in the lake?
Sneak into the Wilderness Lodge pool?
Make friends with someone who has a room?
Take a demo swim in the Endless pool?
Thanks.

Are there pay showers in Fort Wilderness? Sorry, No showers at Ft. Wilderness
Scrub off in the lake? Sorry - No swimming in the lake after the event.
Sneak into the Wilderness Lodge pool? Guests of the resort are given wrist bands to wear at the pool. Make friends with someone who has a room? This is your best bet!
Take a demo swim in the Endless pool? Pool is drained after the expo on Saturday.
Thanks.
I say at the finish line, just claim to be VERY Thirsty. You will need at least 10 bottles of water. Then go back to retrieve your transition stuff. Bust out the small bottle of Head and Shoulders, Lather up, rinse, repeat. I figure three bottles to get wet, three for soaping and scrubbing, three to rinse, one to drink,

Tom,
Last year I thought I saw showers in the restrooms behind the registration/awards building. That used to be the changing rooms for the water park that they closed long ago.
If you are driving to the race, bring along 4 or 5 empty gallon containers. Fill them up at the hotel in the morning, leave them in the car all day and guess what…a warm shore awaits. If that’s not good for you, there is a petting zoo near the swim start. The animals have a huge water trough you can jump in.
Sue - you never miss a beat - Yes, the old “River Country” bathrooms located behind the BBQ pavillion are “air conditioned” and have shower heads. But the showheads are turned off and only the bathroom water works. It is my secret bathroom for the event, so now you have let the cat out of the bag and no ST’er will use the 200 porta-johns that I’ve ordered for the race!

I thought that might be the case. Hey, I know where all the secret bathrooms are. When you live in a wheelchair, porta potties are not an option, so I always scope things out. See you in St Croix…
