JOCKSTRAPPERS:

Mrs. mndiver

Amy - Mrs. pseudoyams - maybe

I'm a "partial".  I'll come up for the long ride but can't spend the night.

Hey all,

Sorry for the late response, but I'd love to join you for the bike ride on Saturday.  Looks like you're planning for Fireman's Park (Verona) at 7am.  See you then!

-Pete 

Considering what you guys did, you conquered something!

Yes, the elements were NOT kind to us.

Warm (87 degrees F AND humid).  Windy - nothing like 15 to 25 mph winds blasting you all day long to make you tougher (add those hills for insurance).

Sorry I couldn't Mutri to the dinner, but with Tornado warnings happening, we weren't taking chances to get there.

A pretty good turnout for the day, Jim!  The swim in the water at the end was refreshing.

Great to see you and cool hanging out on the ride as usual!   EEEAAAWWW!

I guess this is where I officially say (in addition to the personal one after the interview):

THANK YOU JIM FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COORDINATE THIS!

Thanks to all the BT'ers that showed up, participated or jockstrapped.  It was great meeting everyone!

Thanks to all who helped put this together - I had a blast!  I would definitely be interested in doing something like this again - especially the bike ride, which is hard to do without a group.  If you're training around the Milwaukee area, let me know.  I'm always looking for new routes, and I'd like to get some open-water swims under my belt this summer.

 Thanks again,

-P 

Quotable quotes:

Roger: I did an extra 10 miles on the bike loop.

response from ? from Iowa (sorry I forgot  your name)   Did you do that on purpose?

Phil (speaking about Moo last year)  I was looking at algae during the swim leg 

You're never going to forget that, are ya?

hahaha the algae....

great to meet everybody and keep up the solid training...and roger, go buy one of those garmin edge systems for your bike

You too?

Great fun and I enjoyed putting a face with an avatar to those I met.  Sorry I couldn't make the swim Friday...it sounded like good fun "Lake Michigan" style and too bad I couldn't stick around for dinner, it would have been fun to visit with everyone without yelling over the wind while on a bike.

The day went well but my chain broke...I hate when that happens. I tried to fix it with my chain tool, but the chain was too shot.  Thanks to Phil impeccable timing, I didn't have to walk 8 miles to the parking lot.

the BOOM, not sure where you're from, but if you're near/around the chicago area (I live 30 min southeast of Rockford) I can add you to our local weekly long ride email list...approx 50 of us are on it right now.

If not, I'll be back up on the course quite a few more times before IMWI. 

Awesome time this weekend!  Thanks again Jim for organizing this.  Nice weekend of some solid training in tough conditions

That algae on the swim Friday was pretty interesting wasnt, it?  

They were dancing under the waves.   SMARTAZZ!!!!

Do you know if anyone took a pic of the 5 of us jumping off the ski jump?
