    Hi Jeff – the alternate swim course is Santa Rosa Sound on the North side of the island and that body of water has been fine – our Mere Mortals training group swam in it yesterday (60 of them). The Gulf has great days and some days that are not so great – depends on the currents, wind, etc. Lately it has been good and the Sound has been fine. We expect we will swim in one body of water or the other. I’m sending out an email tonight that says the same thing and have posted this on the front page of the website. I certainly understand caution, but remember the early deadline is July 31st and after that it’s $90. Also remember to get the early registration rate of $99 at The Hampton until July 31st as well. Take care, Charles

    Hi Van,

    Portofino has assured me they are offering special rates for SRITRI. Call the registration office at Portofino Resorts and ask for the Santa Rosa Island Triathlon special rates for those dates. IF you have ANY problems, ask for Sabine Laguna who devised the rates in coordination with me months ago. Thanks very much,

    Charles

    It’s about $30 off per night. The internet and text chat people know nothing about it but if you call, they are fully informed. Thanks Charles

    If you follow hotel and condo rates, you know they can change daily, or more often, like airline rates. I don’t know what the current rates are, but when I checked them after Portofino originally offered the SRITRI discount rates, they looked very good to me. When you think about coming here and splitting costs with friends or family for the event, it’s a terrific deal and I’ve personally stayed at Portofino several times – VERY, VERY nice place!
