i got one as well so stoked but also bit scared with lack of preparation.
are you in the 9am wave???
at least there shouldn't be too many people there at that time to see me come out near the tail!!!
no idea about parking etc?? hope will get an e-mail today
good luck amigo.

Where?
How?
4 days isn't much time to prepare. I may give it a miss though, after two weeks drinking and eating in the sun I am not sure I will do myself justice.
I think I won it in a Times competition but it was so long ago I forgot about it.
There was no mention of me winning, just the number came through in the mail this morning. Corporate Sat 12:15 start.
The 12:15 wave looks like 220 people. That is a lot in my book - look for me at the start, I shall be way at the back to avoid the washing machine!
To help with the ID - I shall be in a black wet suit wearing goggles and the same colour cap as everyone else [:D]

This will be my 6th I think and by far the biggest wave, but then after 25meters I will be way behind everyone anyway so it will not matter much - unless I can draft somone really fast and hang on for dear life!

I got my just by doing Blenheim and like everybody else am think S#*t thats like in 3 days!!!!!!![&:]
I reckon i am pm sometime i haven't even been sent my start time yet.
I hope you all have a great day. This is only my 3rd tri so is a bit daunting. I just hope that the water is not as cold as Blenheim!!!![:@]
Cheers guys
Think there was a comp on the Guardian website months ago. Forgot I entered and have had a couple of weeks off due to illness and holiday.
Oh well, might as well do it as it beats a solo training session. I'm in the 12.15 corporate wave so might see some of you guys there.
However, anyone got any tips on Sprint distance racing? I've only ever done olly and 70.3 distances. I assume I just go faster.
My name is not on there yet either[&:] I have e-mailed them though so should be ok.
Good luck to you too
I'm in too.
Woo hoo!!!!!![:)]
Mmmm.... gonna need a wesuit![:D]
They are apologising for the late notice and have offered to defer my free entry till next year if that would be easier.
Just coming back from two weeks holiday with no training and looking at the weather forecast I may take them up on the offer.
Did anyone else get the same?
Pretty lucky they offered this as I had forgotten my wife is away this weekend and I'm in sole charge of our kids (and as they are 2 and 3 that means no racing for me).
