Thanks! Will do.
We passed through there once. Any suggestions on where to stay or where to avoid? Will have a 1 year old in tow.0 -

I've never stayed in OOB since it's pretty much a tourist trap, like Hampton NH (where I grew up). I'll ask my coworker who lives there. I'd probably stay in South Portland or Scarborough and drive to OOB. Less people, more space, potentially cheaper. That's a 20min drive or so.
Shame the kiddo isn't older, there's Funtown Splashtown USA right there
if you feel like shopping, the outlets are about 30min south of OOB in Kittery.0 -

Thanks. I was wondering if there was a place nearby I could stay. I could also just stay one night right in OOB the night before the race.
I think going to the outlets is how we ended up in OOB the first time we went.

There are a lot of places in South Portland because of the airport.
And actually adding my calendar!!
2 5k trail "runs" (walks) in June
5 mi road race in July (maybe I'll be able to run it?)
10k in August
sprint duathlon in September
Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in October
2 5k road races in November
Had to remove all of my longer distance races from my schedule due to my broken fibula.

Woohoo! I'll be at Challenge Maine doing the Oly (I decided most of my summer will be dedicated to short and fast races). My wife is racing the Half though.0 -
@lishie_rebooted - thanks!
Hope you are on the mend. How long will that take to recover?3dogsrunning wrote: »3dogsrunning wrote: »April 12th - Escape Fort DeSoto sprint - done

Do you happen to have a GPS file for the course? My coach was mentioning he wanted to get ahold of it. I haven't looked yet.0 -
No I don't however my understanding is the course is dead flat flat flat0

Interesting - I wonder why I heard flat then. I would prefer rolling hills to be honest, although this year I have been training for a flat full-IM so I haven't been riding hills like I normally would.0

I could always go drive the course with my Garmin on lol
@3dogsrunning, I'm asking my PT today about my return to running. Should be in the next few weeks. Better be since my desire to walk a 10k is zero because it'll be humid AF.
my coworker from OOB is in today so I'll get some places from him for you0 -

I booked a room. I forgot about the fact the baby will need to nap during the race so I need somewhere my husband can walk back to. That narrowed it down and a few hotels had special rates for the race.0 -
And I've just now noticed that they have the maps with elevation on the website. I'm sure it wasn't there before. The run looks really flat.0

I just realized Lishie sent me a FR I didn't see until now but I think she deactivated.
Just putting this here in case you happen to have a new account.
8 days to Challenge Maine.
I'm not freaking or anything.

Triathlons, or single-sport races. What are you guys planning for the year?
For me:
Local bike race (road race) a couple weeks ago. Did OK
5k next weekend looking to set a new PR Ran an 18:17 for a massive PR and I actually won overall!
Challenge Knoxville Half on May 17 Crashed at mile 18 of the bike course. Minor damage only to me and bike. Slowly rode the rest of the course and DNFed in T2. I was on pace for a <5:00 race too, oh well
Challenge Atlantic City Full-distance on June 28 11:29, good for 2nd in AG. I was on pace for 10:45 but fell apart at mile 18 of the run course
Steelman Olympic (Quakertown PA) August 9 2:14:21, good enough for 12th overall and 2nd AG
Challenge Pocono Olympic August 16 2:20:57, good enough for 9th overall and 2nd AG on a much harder course than Steelman
Challenge Maine Olympic August 30 Looking forward to completely and utterly destroying this course. If you see a guy flying at 23mph on the bike, or running <6:30s in a sky-blue tri top. That's me
Beach to Battleship Half (Wilmington NC) on October 25 (tentative) Decided to go for the full here, hoping to go well into the low 10:00 range
I forgot about this thread... updated in bold above0 -

I'll keep an eye out for you flying by me. I'm wearing what's in the profile pic (and on that bike) there will be a Canada flag on if you can pick that up moving that fast. I won't be moving fast.
#1 goal is to finish.0 -
@glevinso - how did it go?0

3rd in M35-39, and something like 19th OA in the Olympic (not sure exactly)
Pulled off a 19:49 swim. Course recorded about 150 yards short, and included that run in, run out, and the fact that the swim went with a decent current I got a wicked fast swim time. I usually swim 23ish minutes for an Oly so it was so cool to be out in <20.
Long run into T1 but once I got there I was in and out quick.
Bike: I simply FLEW on this course. Gentle rollers are perfect for the way I ride. 23.5mph average on about 250 watts. Was back into T2 in 1:03:30
Really fast through transition in about a minute
The run was crazy hilly. I was really hoping to go <40 minutes but those big hills didn't do me any favors and I ended up with 41:01.
Total time was 2:09:21 and was a huge Oly-distance PR for me.
How did your race go?0
