Seahorse challenge roll call

Who will be ther sunday? I will, I am camping overnight in the park on Sat. And I know Tom D. is signed up, anyone else coming?

I’m in!

I thought you’d be there. I think Tom is looking for another rematch. I am dreading moving to that age group next year. At least this year I don’t know the guys who are beating me. By the way this will be my first Tri as opposed to Duathlon. (I am doing the sprint)

I’m flying up to Michigan on Friday to work on logistics for the Whirlpool Steelhead Triathlon. Just found out about the Seahorse race today. Will have to borrow a bike, but will try to be at the race on Sunday! Anyone know the website for race information? Z

I’m there, and I won’t be fast. We’ve been swamped this last wek and I’ve had to pull two all-nighters. I’m beat. But I’ll be there.

with all the rain in the midwest, we may have to use rowboats instead of bikes. Too much work and too little training, but it will still be fun!

I’m signed up for the Oly. Just trying to make it to the beer tent.

I’m in. First tri of season, another chance to get beat by Eric.

My legs are still trashed from Little Smokies. I may be in the beer tent first, but not because I won. :wink:

I’m planning on it, and this will be my first real tri (I’m trying hard not to wimp out and do the duo).

My big question is, if you’re not wearing a wetsuit, what do you do? What do you swim in, that is? I wouldn’t like to think what would happen if I tried swimming in my regular bike shorts. On the other hand, I wouldn’t like to think about what riding would be like on a wet swimsuit versus a nice dry padded chamois. Otherwise, if you swim in one and ride in another, do you just get nekkid in between? I guess I should have paid better attention when I was duoing at the last tri.

What will the water temp be on Sunday?

I’ll be there but I am using this as a training day cuz I have a Half IM the week after.

I am assuming you don’t have any tri-specific clothing, ie. DeSoto Powersuit. Nudity is not allowed in the transition area. I suppose you could change with a towel wrapped around you, just don’t let it slip. Riding in a wet swim suit wouldn’t be too bad. Most triathletes are riding and running in some form of wet gear. Tri-specific clothing tends to dry quickly, and have a smaller chamois. Regular bike shorts might feel awkward, but you could do it.

What 1/2 are you doing?

water temp as of 5/25 was 69 degrees

How many people will participate in each of the races - sprint, Olympic Du? I just signed up for the race. Will be my first race in Michigan since the early 80’s. I do not remember the race, but it might have been the Seahorse in 84 or 85! Anyone know if this is the original site for the race?

Anyone know what will be on the course? Gu, Gatorade? Clif Bars?
