    I'm racing!

    This will be my 9th or 10th HIM.  No specific goals - just have fun!  See if I can run to my potential.

    I'm racing too!  I am actually racing as a relay.  I will do the swim and bike.  Seems like a fun place to race.
  • Robert SaboRobert Sabo
    Of course I will be racing again on my home course.  Any questions, I'll be happy to answer.  It sounds like they have improved the swim and left the run course alone: good.  They have changed the bike which is bad because I think they have taken all the scenic parts out.  It will still be flat and fast, and windy.  We will have a lunch or dinner before the race for whoever's racing.  We will figure it out in September.

    I'm in!  I raced challenge A.C. 2 years ago. Glad they moved it from June to Sept. Cooler and less boardwalk traffic.

    Hmmm, should I do this 4 weeks before IM LOU?  Probably not.
  • Robert SaboRobert Sabo
    Derrek if you are looking for a spot at 70.3 world champs 2018 in South Africa it might be worth going.  But not ideal for maximizing IMLou.

    That's true @Robert Sabo.

    @Juan Sanchez did you book a call with Coach Patrick?  You can discuss the above with him.

    We should all get together for lunch or dinner.  Let me know what the group might be interested in and I can try to organize something.
  • John KolesarJohn Kolesar
    I am interested in a lunch.  I am staying ballys.  Looking forward to race day!!
  • Ellen SauterEllen Sauter
    I will be there with my husband and sister-in-law, who are both racing as well.  Lunch would be great!

  • Robert SaboRobert Sabo
    One week till race Day!!!

    @carol_defazio and @Turby Wright want to go to breakfast at Gilchrist Downbeach 9400 Atlantic Ave Margate City - but I don't know what time yet.  and/or We can do lunch in the early afternoon at a place close to Bader Field (Transition) - Vagabond Kitchen 672 N Trenton Ave Atlantic City -  maybe 1:30ish.  Saturday registration starts at 9:00 and mandatory Bike Check-in starts at 10:00.  Let me know what time works for everybody.
    As best I can tell there is no official swim practice.


  • Carol DeFazioCarol DeFazio
    Rob, we would love to go to that breakfast place after a swim, but if the group prefers going to lunch - that is fine too.  Look forward to seeing you!
  • Ellen SauterEllen Sauter
    Breakfast sounds great to me!

  • John KolesarJohn Kolesar
    I will be getting to AC friday evening so will have to check in Saturday.  Hope to meet up with some EN team members.
  • Turby WrightTurby Wright
    Carol and I are going to have a nice big breakfast at Gilchrist after a short practice swim. Probably finish the swim around 9:00 am then head over. @ Rob Sabo, we owe you breakfast this year!!
