Anybody on here doing b2b? Half or full? If so how about we get together in wilmington the Friday before the race for a pizza/pasta/beer get together. I live in Wilmington so I have a good idea of where we can have it.
Let me know if this sounds like an idea
I know it’s not quite Kona but we can still have a small ST gathering
Not doing it, but cheered the last two years. Great venue. Have a great race!
Send me some Flaming Amy’s…miss that place!!!
Half.
Going for the full. Sounds like a good idea.

in for the half. meeting up with friends that live down there now but interested in the ST gathering.
First IM for me. Coming down from the Boston area with two other members of my tri team and my wife. Maybe a get-together could work out.
If you guys shoot me a message we can figure something out. Looking forward to it
Half relay. Say hi as you pass me on the bike.
I’m doing the Half
.
I’m up for it. Also, anyone out there want to split a hotel room? Looking to stay somewhere cheap…but not too cheap.
I’ll be there for my first HIM. And it ought to be interesting as I’ve been battling ITB issues all season and now a strained groin. My goal went from a sub 5 to “hope I don’t walk.”
I’ll be there for the full (which will be my first) with a large contingent from my tri club (Tri-NewEngland). We’ll be out there in force on the course. I think we are doing a club dinner that night, plus I’m nervous about meeting up with anyone with the name “Fartstorm”! But do say hello to anyone in Tri-NE gear, and perhaps I’ll run into some of you at the expo. I’ll look for the guys telling everyone their fit is all wrong.
Whats the weather been like there lately temperature wise? ocean temps?
I’m just hoping I don’t freeze to death in the first 30 miles of the bike!
I will be more than happy to say hello and give high fives to members of your club.
Secondly, fartstorm is what my wife has called me from time to time. I have been known to let it rip
I was surfing this morning and the water temp was around 77-78. Todays weather is suppose to be in the high 70s low 80s.
Closer to race time however. Around here it tends to get cold in the am (low 50s). Once it warms up it can get up to the high 70s. (2008 it was mid 80s) And the water will be around the mid to low 60s. I do the swim every year in a full wetsuit and would advise the same for others. We have hit the weather “jackpot” the few years we have had this race. So what I always do is throw some arm warmers and toe covers on and head out on the bike. And by the time you hit the run it should warm up enough to just race in your tri gear.
Thanks for the info!
Im doing the 1/2…also my first 1/2.
Im pumped!
and I would be down for a meet!
I will be there ! Doing the full. Plan on arriving Thursday afternoon. I would love to meet up but it is highly unlikely that I will be doing much of anything the day before the race. Lessons learned from my debacle this past weekend @ IM Augusta
There are a handful of us coming from the Boulder/ Denver area. Would be up for beers and cheering on the late finishers if anyone wants to meet.
I’ll be there too but I’m afraid to meet the fart machine LOL
.
Love the handle btw. At first, I thought this was one of my friends whose redneck alter-ego really is an NC fartstorm. He’ll be doing the half, and I’m tempted to go down and do a relay half since I can’t do the whole thing (have Clearwater 5150 soon after, need to requalify there so have to focus…)
I’m in. Doing the full.
