Time schedule update for the mock tri

Hello Triathletes:
I have talked to Coach Montz at CU and it looks like he will be able to open the pool 30 minutes early for us so that we can be done with the swim portion of the tri prior to other swimmers arriving to use the pool. We should be out of the pool in under 30 minutes. Speaking of the pool reminds me that I need all of you to give me your best guess on your 1oo yard free time. If you are going to the pool this week and do a time trial or you can guess based on what you have been doing. We will do a time trial for the actual tri but the time you tell me now will help me put you in the right order for the swim on Sunday. You will see how important it is to have an accurate time on Sunday. It is a pain to have to swim over people and it really stinks to have them crawling up your backside. Be realistic but do not make it too slow....I would imagine that most of you would error on the side of caution and that is not a good plan.
In addition those of you that are not members at CU will have to pay $5 for swimming there on Sunday....this should help to defray the cost of the lifeguard's extra time opening the pool for just us. As far as I know right now that would mean that the following people would have to pay:
Tiffany, Beth, Julie, Keely, Diane, Erin, Jay, Dave, Katie and Cara. That should more than cover their cost. Our transition area will be right outside the pool entrance so you do not have a long run from the swim to the bike so that is a very good thing.
I have talked to Tiffany and as of now Skeeter will be on site as our medic out on the bike course. He is a former Navy medic so he will be there as a precaution and will have his cell phone on him for commo. I would like all of you to plan to ride with your cell phone, again for safety reasons. The bike course is about 14 miles and it is very similar in road type and grade to what you will see at the Riverwood Course. They are country roads with very little traffic except for the one mile you will do on 55 outside of Angier but even that road does not have heavy two way traffic. I will have an experienced biker leading the front rider on the course and it will be marked so it should be nearly impossible to get lost. I say nearly since Natalie and I got lost on the Ride for the Rock. Keely and Dave did not get lost and I have to say congrats to them on doing a great job finishing their first 30 MILE bike ride!!!
OK back to the primary reason for this update....you must be at Campbell at 1200 in order to set up your bike transition area and be ready to swim at 1230. On race day the transition area will close and you will be issued a swim time and there are no exceptions if you happen to be running late. It may sound harsh but that is the way it is in the "real" Triathlon world. Start packing your bag ahead of time and have it in the car Saturday night and show up dressed and ready to go for the big training race on Sunday. Of course if you want to get there earlier I will be there NLT 1115 getting things set up and ready to go.
I talked to people about t-shirts and I am planning on getting the wick away type material....no heavy cotton. Y'all will be sweating to much to be carrying cotton around on your body. We are high tech ladies....does anyone have a preference on color? We had folks running this morning on the 4 mile loop on an off day....you go athletes go. We have a track/interval workout tomorrow so I am looking for max participation!!! Keep on Tri...ing!
