Subject: RE: Redman Triathlon - Half Redman : Official Threadmcgilmartin - 2009-08-21 7:29 PM Hey All, Getting ready for the 1st half-ironman of my career. About 30 days left, I'm feeling good and a little nervous. Been sick with stomach virus and allergies, so my training has not been the best lately. I think I'll be OK, did two Olympic races the last 2 weeks. I read the race reports from last year and got some great inspiration.Is everyone staying @ the Marriott? I was able to get a great rate at the Hampton Inn Bricktown cuz my sister works for Hilton. I'd definitely like to hang out with some fellow athletes, too. My wife and kids are not making the trip so I'll be there by myself. Good luck everyone- see you out there.Matt I'm staying at the Hampton in Bricktown, too... with 4 other racers. We figured we'd rather walk/limp/stumble back to the hotel after partying in Bricktown Saturday night than drive. I stayed at the Marriott last year and while it was fairly nice, their elevators were broken the entire weekend. 1000s of athletes and their friends/family had to take the stairs, WITH BIKES AND GEAR, and were routed through the back kitchen area to get anywhere. It was weird. Really bad timing for them. Anywho... yeah we will be there in full force! Looking forward to it! |
