We have friends coming with us this year so as not to overload him were probably going to stay at the host hotel. I can't say how many people camp but I can tell you that you see a lot of suspicously "tri geek" looking people around Lubbock the days before hand so I think most people stay in hotels. It's only about a 15 min drive to the lake from town.

Nothing like playing to your strenghts, huh?<BR/><BR/>I was going to post on some bulletin boards, but I'll just ask you since you've been there. What's the best arrangement for accomodations to get the full race experience/ Do folks tend to stay at hotels, or is there camping at or near the race site, sort of like Wildflower? If both, which do you think is best.greyhoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177698669715595307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24683651.post-1145127831935039612006-04-15T14:03:00.000-05:002006-04-15T14:03:00.000-05:00Hey Greyhound,I've done Buffalo Springs 3 times. H...Hey Greyhound,<BR/><BR/>I've done Buffalo Springs 3 times. Here are a couple tips. It's hilly, both the bike and the run. There are 3-4 tough hills on the bike and one monster on the run. It's also hot so drink a lot. I know, sounds like a blast...but all that being said it's my favorite race of all time. Good luck and have fun, I'll be out there with you for my 4th year in a row.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538854972129590140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24683651.post-1144980920224944722006-04-13T21:15:00.000-05:002006-04-13T21:15:00.000-05:00I did a half my first season too -- if I can do it...I did a half my first season too -- if I can do it, so can you!

I'm doing Steelhead (a flat course) and I get the gasp all the time. You can DEFINITELY do this if you've done marathons and double centuries. Look at it this way: there's no way it's harder than Wildflower.Habeelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340055935889970661noreply@blogger.com
