Dear Registrants for the Snake River Triathlon,

Thank you for signing up to participate in the 1st annual Snake River Triathlon.

Because this is the first year for this race and we have a bit of a unique format with the swim on Friday night and the rest of the race on Saturday we do expect a little confusion as well as my stress level being through the roof. So in order to try and lessen that somewhat we are going to try and do a few things.

Because you have pre-registered we want to be sure you are on the priority list for swimming on Friday night. We really don't know how busy or hectic it will be with the swim because we are not designating times, but want to be sure we get you in and out of the water as efficiently as we can.

A couple of things you can do to help us out. If you have an idea of when you expect to be at the Aquatic center to do your swim and an approximate swim time please let us know. Also, if you do not intend on swimming (which is an option) that would be good to know as well. Packet pickup will be that night at the aquatic center and race morning (for those not swimming). We have 4 lanes reserved at the aquatic center and will be designating them slow, medium, medium and fast to help reduce any swimmers swimming through each other. This may not even be an issue depending on the rate of people coming in during the time we are swimming. If everyone shows up at once, may be a problem, but hopefully not.

We ask for your patience. We will do our very best to provide you with a good event and experience. But because this is the first time for a triathlon for us we do expect some of those unexpecteds that we hope to iron out for the second time around.

I am always open for suggestions and we are excited to see you at the race.

Thanks,

Mike
