We need a David Letterman style Top Ten list.  So, take it away, peeps.

I like this, but I guess we need a category, first?

Like
 - Top 10 reasons you know you are tapering for an IM?
 - Top 10 reasons for doing IMWI
 - Top 10 reasons....[fill in blank]

Then, I think the geniuses out there can really come up with some good stuff.

Yep, need to throw a category out there.  How about top ten reasons you think you are ready and top ten you think you arent for the pessimists?

Reasons why ready:

10.  Anything south of 2 hour days has you feeling lazy and POed

4.  You go through the motions at work, just getting through the day, as you check the forums on BT for bib numbers and any other last minute nuggets that may help you on the 13th.

2.  "At dinner ask, "Who's got a good hunting accident story?"  [OK doesn't exactly fit, but if the list was "Top Ten Ways To Irritate Dick Cheney", then you would be laughing your @ss off.]
