Oceanside Roll Call
I'll be there cheering and screaming and generally losing my voice like every year ;)
Mike will be racing:
#1022 -- starts at 7:03, 7:07, or 7:10 and will probably be done in about 4:30ish.
#1153 here.
I think I'm going to squeeze one last shakedown ride and short run in the morning, then I'm driving down from Monterey.
I'll be there in the 7:13 group as well in the super-manly pink caps. That gives me a nice easy to remember target time of 1pm.
Should be a really fun race!

BuckeyeBen will be there...I'll be making sure everyone is behaving themselves in the back of the pack but I'll be there with a smile! This is my first half-ironman. I'm excited, nervous, smiling, crying, etc.
#754
I leave for the Columbus airport in an hour.
Oh my gosh...What have I gotten myself into!?!?!

Hello from Oceanside to all you racers, the weather is perfect,slight overcast will burn off by 1pm ,, light wind , water low 60s, , is a swell coming in but that wont bother you, good luck good racing and have fun
I'm #814 starting at 7:03, 7:07, or 7:10.
Hoping to be done before 1:00 - should be close.
Good luck everyone!
I'm there now, but I couldn't find the expo or packet pickup or anything! I went to the transition area and everything, but no sign of the "ironman village" or anything. grr. Anyone know?
edit: I think I figured it out, but a tip for anyone still on their way - the packet pickup and expo and whatnot are not in the same place as the transition area. All the rigmarole is on the strand, not at the transition area...
Good luck to all of y'all!!!
Success comes before work only in the dictionary

I will be starting at 7:13 hoping to finish in around 6 hours, but it all depends on the weather (mostly that headwind I have heard so much about on the way back).
