Comments: Trixie rocks. And it took us 11 miles to perfect the FITPHD "Woot, Woot!!!". And we didn't even get it right, it was the cop car that finally did it right. We suck as southerners - but take a pitcher, we're the next big thing. :) :) What would you do differently?: 1) Sleep beforehand 2) Not be sick 3) Run further than a long of 7 miles at some point before the race Post race
Warm down: Walked through the medal chute, grabbed my parachute and found Aaron, Haley, and Chris next to the BT balloon, cooler and wind tunnel and froze our asses off. Used fruit to mimic our equipment, dumped like 14 beers on the ground, and had a frigging GREAT time making fun of ourselves and mugging for the camera, the crowd, and cutting up. A BIG, BIG thankyou to Haley and Aaron for awesome jockstrapping. Fun peeps, good times, and they came well prepared. Except that aaron had to keep giving up his clothing (willingly, i might add) and haley was wearing a circus midget's track jacket. :) What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training, wind, being sick, cold temps, backtracing 0.2 mi during the race to say hi to some BT'ers, lack of training. And not enough training. Event comments: Awesome event, great weekend, good times. Trixie had to pee. We rocked. Last updated: 2005-12-03 12:00 AM

Heh. Woke up 4:15, scared the hell out of the in-laws by dropping my cell phone in the trash can by accident, then showered, dressed and went downstairs (Hyatt) to meet and get breakfast.
Breakfast: 1 red bull, one diet pepsi, two cliff blocks, and 2 cinnamon rolls (thank you Cavu9 for that o-so-dilectible breakfast selection!!!). I'm gonna be a friggin champion today!!!
Walked from Hyatt to the starting corralls, about 5 min walk. Rain let up quite a bit, so I discarded my speed-skating baggie. Hung out with Chris, Wendi, Mike, Ken, Trix, Sue, and a couple others wondering why the hell I wore sunglasses for a race that started at 6AM in the rain. Dumbass.
Also discussed the finer points of southern speech, such as the subtleties even too subtle for some 'necks to notice between "pitcher" and "picture", "boiled" and "bold", etc.
Oh, and we stood around in Wendi and Trix's pee.
