Hi Brenda! Does this mean you're doing Muncie? If so, cool! Muncie will be my first half Iron, which would be cool enough all on its own... I'll also be racing with a dear friend from college I haven't seen in eons (we're both techies that somehow wound up in tri!) -and- it will be my first race with #EN! As to my expected time, it's a little hard to guess at this point. If it was just double an Olympic time, I'd be looking at ~6 hours, but somehow I think ~7 is more realistic. The Monday strength sessions really did make a difference getting back in the pool (swam first time this season last Wednesday), so I'm happy about that! Hoping Zwift does the same for my cycling. Running I worry the least about of everything as I've done a couple half marathons and have another scheduled this spring, so I know I can do that distance in a decent time. It's everything else that's up for debate. ;-) Really looking forward to meeting the team! Thanks for kicking this off!

** NOTE TO BRENDA: I don't see the check box to "subscribe" to this thread. Can that be added?

Paul Curtin

Did a 2-hour run yesterday - started at about the same time-of-day that I'd expect to run on race day. Trying to get used to the heat and humidity!

Catherine Juon

Nice! I've been thinking along those lines as well and trying to be grateful for the humid, windy bike rides of late. ;-)

Catherine Juon

P.S. Anyone else coming from Michigan to Muncie?

Paul Curtin

The bib list and swim waves have been posted!

The TriClub list is up as well ... it lists 13 EN racers.

Catherine Juon

Thanks for the heads up! Took me awhile to find the info even knowing it was there - would never have known otherwise! I'm #1912 and in the 17th swim wave! Love the extra time to get nervous, though I won't have to worry about getting swum over. ;-)

Daniel Huhn

I guess this means I'm racing. This will be a training race for me as my A race is Ohio 70.3 and I'm just getting back into training after losing the entire JOS due to illness I'll be the sweeper on the course based on my swim wave and expected finish time. Lets just hope for good weather!

Yvette Metz

Hi Catherine,

I will be there along with Terese P, Trish M,and Cathleen W. 

 

Catherine Juon

@Yvette -

Wow! Great to hear so many Michiganders are going! If anyone is interested in carpooling, I'm game, and based in the Ann Arbor area.

Paul Curtin

Weather forecast actually looking better now ... high in the mid-80's, winds out of the west at 10 mph, low chance of rain. I'm ready!

Brenda Ross
