St. Anthony's race preview

So this is what a transition area for 4,000 people looks like.  Went by the race site today and they are already setting up for the event.  The field is limited to 4,000 triathletes.  St. Anthony's is in its 28th year.  I will be competing with 450 athletes in my age group this weekend and hope to bring in a top 10 finish.  I have been in races that are 450 total participants not just my age group.  The 40-44 men are divided into three waves, 150 in each wave. This is the biggest race I have ever seen much less participated in.  Driving into transition last night I felt my pulse increase rapidly.  I am looking forward to this opportunity this weekend to see how I stack up with this large age group field.
