Attention! Only 36 days until....

  Sounds like fun!

Sadly, I missed my oportunity to have a similar celebration.  My birthday is on the 1st, and that was about 34.5 years ago. 

I don't know if I'll be able to join in the 29 mile celebration, as I may have to work that day...

I am there.  Or here.  Happy 29th!!!  I vaguely remember it...  Always wanted to say I love your sig lines!!

Wow that is pretty cool. Only coz  my sister has been raving on coz tomorrow she turns 26 on the 26th of August.    so you'll have to mark it down for tomorrow and celebrate that and I'll celebrate yours or perhaps we can just call it even stevens.

max - 2005-08-24 11:24 PM Hey isn't this sorta like Cinco de Mayo or sumpin? Can I drink 29 root beers or the equivalent? Is this a special club? Is there a secret handshake???

Or, if you're like Max you can drink 29 beers in honor of my special days.  Cycling 29 miles or drinking 29 beers whichever fits best into your training schedule   And yes...you will be in the "29 on the 29th" club once you have proved your word and dedication.

What about 29 push-ups? Or pull-ups, that's a bit harder. I have a race 3 days later so I'll be in mid taper. And isn't the birthday that you turn the year that matches the day your "golden" birthday? You gotta guilt someone into buying you a gold tri-pendant or something along those lines. I got hosed, I was born on the 1st and my parents totally cheapskated out on me and just got me some stuffed animals and cake that I fell asleep into. bts

I fyou're tapering for a race, then why not carbo load and eat 29 burritos???  I like that idea better than push ups or pull ups   I am not sure if I can guilt someone into buying me a cool gold tri pendant or something like that.  I have to start considering some "victims" for that idea.

I was going to suggest 29 Chipotles!! I will of course ride 29 miles on your b-day Janelle, and then of course go to Chipotle. Maybe some other Atlantans will join me.

* ATTENTION * ATTENTION EVERYONE *

My b-day is in a week & 1/2....its on the 6th. So, not as cool since I would have been 6 on the 6th, but its still going to be my b-day.

Ok TriComet- it's too bad that we can't have a joint b-day or something.  How fun would that be???

We can pick a day when you can drive to Atlanta and we can have a joint "Single tri girl alone on their birthday" birthday dinner. Somewhere nice or chipotle. I'm flexible. 

Oooh- I like.  Even better.  Ok- so my original plan is evolving.  Only the first 29 BT'ers responding to this have the opportunity to be part of the "29 on the 29th" club.  Here's the deal.  After receving feedback from my fellow BT'ers (whom I greatly value their opinion) I have changed the stipulations and entry requirements into my club.  So... here goes.  I can only accept 29 participants.  If you cycle 29 miles (which was the original idea so I'm sticking with that) then on the 29th to honor my specail day, you will become a "Gold" member of the club, since it's my golden year.  If you chose to do something else (such as drink 29 beers like Max has propsed, or do 29 situps, pullups, reps of weight, 29 yards of swimming, drink 29 oz of water, etc) then you will just be a normal member.  Yo uwon't have thee status of the gold members, but you'll still have a better status thant he average Joe.  However, if you eat 29 burritos on the 29th of September, you'll be a gold member AND receive a special burrito related gift from me that I will personalize just for you.  Ok...let's start over and let the sign up begin.  Make sure to let me know how you plan to represent the #29! 

Am I still on the sign up list? I'm sure Welshy will do this in honor of you if we ask him nicely but he might still be mad at you for bailing out of our lives *sob*

Ok- here's the list so far.  The names in red are the people I have full information from.  There's a few others that said they would do it, but didn't tell me if they wanted to cycle, eat burritos, drink beers, or whatever.  So I'll just need confirmation from the following on which activity you choose: (First_Time_Tri, Max, and Brett)  There are 23 spots left- hurry up before they fill up!!

1.  TriComet- cycle 29 miles

2.  Tri-Pirate- cycle 29 miles

3. Bear- cycle 29.29 miles 

4.  First_Time_Tri-  ???

5.  Brett-  ?

6.  Max- drink 29 beers? 

Where's the pic?  Tri Pirate, you know that I am going to try to coordinate this with our Andy J's group ride?  I mean, how can they not be supportive??  They love me!

OK- I am thinking about the gold club member benefits.  I think I'll keep it simple- I don't think the soon-to-be b-day girl should have to put much time into this since it's such a special occasion.  So... the perk to the gold club is bragging rights.  And maybe after the big event, everyone in the club can change their sig lines to something catchy like "I'm gold and you're not!"  What an honor that would be??

Glad you like my sig. line!  It's a great verse and apparently a popular one!  My friend gave that one to me when I signed up for my first tri ever, because I was freaked out about having to do an OWS in the ocean.  It's very comforting
