I'll be there; I'll send out my bib number once we get them. Good luck and have fun; can't lie I'm getting excited for this myself; I am trying to beat my 5:48 time last year....

I'll be there and it will be my first half as well. I'm finishing up my final workouts this weekend and I'm feeling confident but my only goal is to enjoy myself and finish.

Started tapering a week ago...as long as my knees hold out I'll be fine. I've been having some issues with my it band. Apparently, mine are really really tight. But I've been working with a physical therapist, so we shall see how it goes. As long as I finish with minimal pain I'll be happy! I don't want my first half to be a miserable experience.

This will be my second year racing providence. I really enjoyed the bike course which is fast but a little sloppy coming into the city. Also liked the clean transition area but is a little challenging to stuff a wet wetsuit into a bag. The run course is quite challenging and first hill can break you if you are not prepared for it. I still recall turning the corner about about a 1 1/2 miles and looking straight up at it.

I will be there, and I am hoping for no flats this year on the bike like last year.
Nyfan21...stop by and say hello this time...look for the ponytail, and the Xlab avenger bike.
As for that first hill on the run...I saw it last year and thought OH MY!!!. Lots of hills in my run training this year...short and steep, just like that one.
Good luck to all, be safe and have fun.

I did it last year, but won't be there this year. Good luck. I loved the first hour on the bike along the water. After that, all I remember is hills, hills and more hills. Stay hydrated, it was HOT last year too!
1 week to go til my first half! Got my new shark suit...which I love! My bike is at the shop getting checked over and getting decked out with some new bar end tape! Who else is doing this race?
