I sooooo want to be a race director, but actually one that puts on "secret races". People sign up with their mobile numbers, and a week before the race (wherever and whenever it might be), I send them all a text of location, date and time. Some are casual run races on trails, others are off-road or perhaps on-road tris, just OWS. All you have to do is rock up with your gear and be ready to either do a full tri (of varying distance, but maxing at half-iron) or one of the legs of a tri (swim, bike, or run, or just 2 of those). I have NO idea if this is possible, but that is the gist of the organization I want to set up when I move back to New Zealand. It would be BALLER if it became successful!krystyna47https://www.blogger.com/profile/02542292749788074294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-8142628167238599292011-06-11T00:02:16.304-07:002011-06-11T00:02:16.304-07:00I'll see what I can do in 1 hour... maybe a sw...I'll see what I can do in 1 hour... maybe a swim-run?valenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683054963550064344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-39940654931120965492011-06-10T19:28:55.592-07:002011-06-10T19:28:55.592-07:00Are their prizes?Are their prizes?Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-79049367306996393442011-06-09T22:21:44.089-07:002011-06-09T22:21:44.089-07:00I was going to treat you all to the first ever B.S...I was going to treat you all to the first ever B.S.

But… I thought up an IM course right here where I live…just walk out our gate to the bay… leg #1: swim across the bay over to the dog park and back (really close to 2.4mi RT), transition from shore to gate, start bike inside the gate and do 186.7 laps (it's a 0.6-mile loop…finish/next transition would be in front of my house so you could grab a snack and use the real bathroom if needed), transition in front of my house, run 35 loopty-loop figure eighty-eights that are 0.75 mi…taaa-daaaaa… No road closure permits needed because my neighbors are NEVER around. Sounds pretty freakin awesome, no? Yeah…it sounds pretty sucky :P Yours sounds much more enjoyable…for that sort of thing.XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-90383345076247128472011-06-09T11:26:23.217-07:002011-06-09T11:26:23.217-07:00Are you sure you only had an hour to kill?

There's already a high-profile Oly distance just a couple miles from my house and it has enough issues with the bike route. Good long bike routes are hard to find anywhere near Dallas. Either too many road closures needed or the road surface is harsh.Tri4Successhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956192345302508941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-80861373510821631262011-06-09T07:13:32.523-07:002011-06-09T07:13:32.523-07:00That would be an awesome race!!!That would be an awesome race!!!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553067128072502179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-72859293691456190702011-06-09T05:57:37.527-07:002011-06-09T05:57:37.527-07:00I LOVE this.

Plotting out an Iron Distance is tough, but I have a half iron distance in mind. <br /><br />NYC? Not interested. IMMT? I am going, at the very least as a volunteer.

Maybe, to get around the political snafus inherent, you do the run in those giant water balls and then the bike on those pontoon bikes. 100% Pacific Ocean, no road closures!<br /><br />No way to do this in Chicago, but you might be able to pull it off in Milwaukee or Lake Geneva maybe.KovasPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401299101228398072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-74887643719537003422011-06-09T01:30:58.037-07:002011-06-09T01:30:58.037-07:00Fun post..now you just need to contact the WTC, ri...Fun post..now you just need to contact the WTC, right? At first I was thinking that NYC would be pretty cool. Then I thought about Lake Placid, which I did, and decided that one of the best aspects was the beauty of the rural course. I just can't really imagine the bike in NYC/NJ. Anyhow, I think Quebec will be pretty nice.<br /><br />On another note--I mentioned to jeff that one thing I am wondering about is how many IM races there are room for? The slots are getting incredibly spread out. It's going to get down to 1/2 slot per age group pretty soon!misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.com
