Veteran 198  |  Subject: Don't you love that "I just signed up for a race" feelingDon't you guys get all excited after you fill in that credit card information and click submit. I just signed up for my "A" race next year - the Timberman 70.5 and I'm super excited. So much hope, so much possibility - good times! Now I've just got to work out some kinks and maintain until March when my official training cycle begins. Hurray! Edited by stuartjeff 2007-10-17 10:34 AM |

Veteran 232 Glen Carbon | Subject: RE: Don't you love that "I just signed up for a race" feeling Yes, then I realize I have to train extra hard, ask off at work, get a hotel room, and pay for teh entrance fee. I still get excited though. |

Extreme Veteran 809 Central New Jersey | Subject: RE: Don't you love that "I just signed up for a race" feeling I actually know what you are talking about now. I just signed up for my first ever triathlon - NJ State Sprint in July. It is a weird feeling to know that I just plunked down money and am committed to it. No backing out now! My husband is considering competing too so he might soon understand also. Randi |

Extreme Veteran 461 Minnesota | Subject: RE: Don't you love that "I just signed up for a race" feeling I usually register for races before I have child care, so my feeling is an overwhelming sense of urgency to call every babysitter I have on file and try to line up child care 6 months in advance. And then proceed to freak out when no one says yes. Somehow it has always worked out though... |

I was just thinking this! yeah! agree!!! cost $225, for the 1/2 OUCH!!! Indeed...just got sticker shock looking at cost of Vineman as my prospective first HIM next summer... It was a lot less, um, stress-inducing signing up for the local 10K I'm doing in 11 days...$25. That's "$25"...without the additional "2" in front of it. |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Don't you love that "I just signed up for a race" feeling Yep! I get more and more nervous energy as the race gets closer. It's most exciting when I sign up or when finishing the race. |

Expert 1330 Arizona | Subject: RE: Don't you love that "I just signed up for a race" feeling I'm trying to figure out which of them it is: a) "I had an out before, now I'm screwed." b) "What sort of moron PAYS to do this stupid stuff?" c) "I need to train more. What were my kids names and who is this strange woman in the house?" d) All of the above -Jot (edit: make grammatically correct) Edited by gamebofh 2007-10-17 7:36 PM |
