We currently have 21 BT members signed up as participating in the Philadelphia Triathlon this year. As well as numerous members the Delaware Valley that are not signed up for the race, but will be there to cheer us all on. Do we want to try and schedule some kind of BT get together like they did in April for St Anthony's in Florida? Let me know what you think, as if we want to do something, we should start planning it soon.

Hey BT peeps. Omaha checking in. I'll be in Philly with the Nebraska TNT team. There will be about 6 of us from Nebraska. Anyway, I don't know how the weekend will play out, but meeting up to shake hands and drink a beer may be a cool idea.
Subject:RE: Philadelphia Triathlon in Fairmount Park
I'd be down. I know there are at least 1 or 2 other people from here that are not listed in the 21 BT members that will be there, plus a few who will be volunteering.

I'm doing the Independence Tri since the regular one is sold out, besides I don't think I'm at "olympic" distance yet. I wish you all luck. I'll be out there chearing you on.

I probably won't be able to make any festivities. I am moving and for some reason decided to have the movers come first thing Monday morning. I'll probably be busy finishing packing when I'm not racing.

egent - 2006-06-20 2:55 PM How many here would be available to go to a meet and greet on Friday evening?
Depending on where its at within the city I'm up for a beer with the BT crew. I'm staying at the Crown Plaza at 1800 Market Street. It would have to be within walking distance for me.
Subject:RE: Philadelphia Triathlon in Fairmount Park
I was thinking of meeting at the Elephant And Castle that is in the Crown Royal, if I remember correctly. But I wanted to see who might be available. I too will be spending the night on Saturday at the same hotel as I am staying with the Eastern Pennsylvania Team in Training.

The Beast - 2006-06-21 9:05 AM What is the address?
18th & Market. I work a block from there, but probably can't stick around long after work on Friday.
Name the time to be at the Elephant And Castle at 18th and Markket and I will try and be there. Since I'm traveling with a group I'm not 100% sure what is planned. I'll be with the Nebraska TNT team.
What will any of you be wearing? TNT shirts? BT shirts?
Subject:RE: Philadelphia Triathlon in Fairmount Park
Ok, how about 5:30 till what ever? I am usually at 19th and Market, but have been at our Valley Forge office this week. Getting back into the city from KoP at that hour is going to be fun.

Anybody going to the expo and meeting tonight (fri)? If so, I'll see you there. Otherwise, I'll see you on Sunday. (if you're still there by the time I finish the race )

Don what do you mean "if your still there by the time I finish..." Last year I was third from last in a little over 5 hours, bet you beat me this year.

Yea, well last year I was just an observer on the sidelines while you were out there doing it. I saw you at one point on the last loop of the bike. You were a stud! It was so hot on that coarse last year.

I was wondering when registration for 2007 starts. It would be cool to have a little countdown for myself to motivate me through the next year. I checked the website but it only has stuff for 2006 still but I see some people list themselves as registered already.

Can't remember exactly, but should open in the next month or two. Should be some posts about it as it gets closer as the race sells-out fairly quickly.
