8 days out, who’s in? I’ll be racing in the 35-39ag. Wonder what the times for the top 5 guys will finish in my age group? Best of luck to everyone.
I’m in, not sure why, but I’m in. 30-34 AG. Hoping to run the run.
I’m in too. 40-44 AG. It’s gonna be rough. I haven’t been training like I should. But it will be fun regardless.
I’m in. 30-34. Not where I want to be but a good hard training day none the less. Looking forward to the finish line though.
I’m in. M 18-24. Its my 2nd half and first season solely training for tris. Switching sports after 7 years of crew.
I’ll be there W35-39.
Are there really almost 3000 racers?
I’m in, 60+ age group, first half in 7 years, looking to have fun and finish.
M25-29. First Tri, should be a good one.
I am in. Since this is my backyard I figured I has to do the race. This is my first Tri. I swam the course this week and have been in the lake for the last couple weeks.
I wasn’t going to be, but I’ll be there as will my sister (which is why I’ll be there). Doubtful for a finish as I’ve not been able to run for 5 weeks and now I’ve caught a lovely cold. Damned expensive aquabike to be sure. 
Looks like 3070 individuals; add in all relay members and its up to 3500. We’ll have to wait and see how many hit the start mat.
Also, in M18-24 with only 11 months of actual tri training with this being my second half. See you at the transition hillblizter 
I got red/white/blue litespeed.

Rock on John Cobb! So what are you riding/wheels?
Whats the temp. of the lake? Also the clarity and does the sea wall produce a chop from the waves bouncing back off of it?
Thanks
I’ll keep my eyes open for that litespeed, Aplohris. I’ve got a red/white/black Cervelo P2C. How many ppl are running disc wheels for this race? I’m debating whether or not I should try to borrow one.
I don’t own any race wheels per se… but i considered last week buying a disc wheel cover, but opted to wait since it might be windy and wouldn’t want to try and get used to that for the first time while on the course. haha.

I’ll be there! 50-54 AG. 20th tri, 1st 70.3.

Last weekend the temp of the lake where the swim course is was 68F. It may have gotten a little cooler since then due to all the rain we had. Last Wednesday it did feel a little cooler but I don’t know what the actual temp was. The clarity was nice for the lake on Wednesday but may have gotten a little screwed up from the rain/wind churning things up. The see wall does not really produce any chop. As long as there are no North winds for the race it should be calm. Wednesday we has strong South wind but the lake was like glass where the swim course is.
I’m in. 50-54 age group.
First half of the season.
Good luck to everyone!
I’m racing the 25-29 ag. 2nd Half.
Hoping to better my first attempt at the distance, and beat 3 college buddies who are doing the race as well.
Any other fellow Tulanians in the race?
