2017 70.3 Syracuse Race Day Thread

Brenda Ross

Hi Team, are you ready to give your teammates some serious mojo for this coming weekend? This thread is to be used leading up to race until Group Me is activated and on race day for the team to comment on race conditions, observations on how our team are doing during their races, or just to provide some mojo on race day.  Listed below are the members that are racing and a link to the IM Tracker.  Post away. Good luck racers.

Ed and I rode the course 2 weeks ago.  The roads are in good condition, but if you haven't seen the new course, brace yourself for hills at the end (much different in my opinion then the old bike course -  harder!).  But the run has changed for the better - no more big climb in the middle!!

Stop looking at the weather - it only gets hotter

Good luck this week Iron Peeps!  Lots of strong, experienced triathletes on this list!  Time to execute!!

OK, that sucked
Temp - 90° ,   20 MPH winds gusts to 30 MPH, Even white caps in little Jamesville reservoir.  The whole day was an adventure.  Glad to hear that everyone one made it out OK and got the job done.
Best part of the day was the burger and beer at dinner...

That is always the best!

808 front was a bad choice with those cross winds
