Hi Theresa, I'll be there, but we have out-of-town visitors this weekend so most likely I will only be able to join you for the swim.  I'll know for certain on Saturday.

[Brian Swalla]

Just want to add a note on parking:  

for anyone who parks on 7th street, from looking at the satellite maps it may be possible to get onto the beach at the end of Bay St (click for map), and then walk down the beach 0.25 mile to our swim location near the lifeguard chair (click for map).  This is probably what I'll be doing.  I've also been told it's worth it to head to the end of 7th street just for the view along Ocean Ave :)

Also, for reference, we previously recommended parking by the Library on Yates St, but these spots have a 2h limit that is likely being enforced on the weekends, so 7th street is probably the best option.

I'll be there for the swim and bike...after doing the B2B, I don't think I will want to run the 5k.

I am in the same situation as Brian so not sure if I will make it this week. Are we meeting at a different location than last time? I think I parked on Yates last time and walked to the beach lot?

[Brian Swalla]

Hi Galina,

you could do that again if you're only staying for the swim.  The issue with Yates is it's supposed to be 2h only time limit, and it looks like they'll be enforcing it more tightly as the season gets busier based on what we were told by the officer we spoke to last time we were there.

I will be there! Maybe for the whole thing or just bike and run.  I will text you Theresa on Sunday morning if I am not going to make it for the swim so I don't hold things up.

I will be there if I can get my butt outta bed. It's an hour drive. I will do the bike leg. My number is 239-5808. I will text you if/when I am on my way. :)
