BT St. Anthony's 2006 Signup - Mark Your Calendar (Page 2)

The RD left to go work for Ironman.  They just hired a new guy- an IM athlete himself.  I don't know much more than that, though.   Nevertheless, the basic team is still there and should be a great event as always. 

If you live around here, you can go get early signup by visiting the Fitness Center. I didn't do it last year b/c I didnt want to make the trip over the bridge and I was sort of looking for a way out if I couldn't get in via online reg (I was scared of my first OLY!).   Yeah, Wendi, I remember doing this now.

We're getting a hotel again, even though we live on the other side of the bay, but we're there the whole weekend, figure gas=hotel in price.

OH YEAH this was a grand ol' time!!  My parents might even come out next year. 

BTW, it didn't really sell out in 24 hours, the website was still open for registrations for two, maybe three days.  But that's at least what I saw when I checked in to see how it was doing. Why they say 24 I have no idea.

Some wisecracks I just have to keep to myself. Prudent thing to do.

I forgot to mention Jessica (Tri Take Me Away) and Polly (NYTrigal?), too! What a nice group of people I met that weekend.

Hey Jim- I don't think I'll do this one again with TNT- I'll probably sign up on my own.  If I do TNT it'll be for Gulf Coast!  How's that sound??

I can't wait to do this race again.  It'll be 3 weeks after IMAZ for me, so maybe no PR but it will be fun anyway. I am having so much fun going to races and meeting fellow BTers - it's the best!

Didn't someone mention in a previous thread or race report about how many folks had their IMAZ shirts on at the pre race festivities?  I saw one a month or so later at Mad Beach.  Wear it and psych your competetion out!  

My ST A's shirt is still one of my favorites- I wear it a lot!!  I'm so proud of it!  And it's a very cool shirt.

BT rocks!! 

Hey it's a great shameless plug. I've done St. A's several times with TNT. It really is an awesome program, and the race isn't too bad either.

I will be there.....somebody has to give Karl crap about the Seminoles....GO GATORS !!!

Thats kind far Michel...like 4 hours away far....You need a hotel.  I only live and hour away and I'm getting a hotel. 

I'm planning on being there too.  Look forward to meeting everyone, and participating.  Thanks for the thread... lots of good info here.

Okay you silver tongued devil, you talked me into it. Just let me know where the hotel is and I'll join you! I was going to fly out there but I suppose that now you will tell me that my arms will get too sore!!! ... :-)

You can! You will! You must!

Looks like we'll be driving up through the night on Thursday, then D will fly back after the race on Sunday (he must be at work on Monday) and I'll drive back solo.

Any hotel recommendations?

Is everyone planning on staying at the same B and B that most of them did last year?  The place we had dinner at? 

I'm looking at hotels.  While I was there, I noticed a hotel with a cafe thing out front, and I can't remember the name of it!!  It was right there on I think, Beach Dr.

Hotels are pretty scare and tough to find...especially close to the race site...

I've found that the Alden is still accepting reservations.  Its on the Gulf side of St. Pete and is more of a drive, but has a nice beach.  Pricing in the 120/night range.

I've made a reservation at a Hampton in that is more in town.  We stayed there last year.  Priced at around $90 bucks per night if you're just there over the weekend...though it doesn't have a restaurant, etc.  Good breakfast though.

Do we have an official BT crashing point?  I'd love to be able to be in the same location as everyone if possible.
