IMFL -for any midAtlantic folks - 1st RR (9/25)
hey, a friend of mine is doing Cheseapeake Man put on by Columbia Tri Assn (same folks who do Eagleman, same venue)... there is also an Aquavelo, and a skipjack (I think it's a 1.2 swim, 64 bike, 10mi run)... in any event, assuming I calculated out correctly, the race happens to be the weekend of our first RR.
With that in mind, I am planning to register for the Aquavelo and tag on the hour run afterwards (I don't think they can stop me... either I'll do one loop of the 3 loop course or just go out 30 minutes and back 30 minutes)... I know the RR doesn't have a swim component but IMFL will be my first IM and I think having a mass start and 2.4 mi OWS under my belt will be good practice for me... for the bike and the run I will stick to the RR strategy re: zones.
I was able to find a hotel in Cambridge very easily this morning (we have to rack the bike the night before, which is Friday 9/24)... thought I'd pass this along in case there were other east coasters training for IMFL who might be interested.

I could be in if my tri mojo returns by then.
Thanks for the post.
