Ok the other thread got me thinking so just wanted to see what everyones plans were. I am getting there Tuesday night and will do the swim on Wednesday and Thursday and will also get some rides and a few runs in. So what about everyone else?

I'm going to arrive on Wednesday, probably around noon.  I'm planning to head for packet pick-up once I arrive.  I'm not supposed to be able to check in to my condo until 3pm so I'll probably head to Wal-Mart/etc and do all of my shopping before checking in.

I'm planning to do the G'ade swim on Thursday and Friday.  On Friday, I'll do my 15/15/15 pre-race workout (15 minutes of each discipline right after each other).

More than likely arriving Tuesday night.  Planning on doing the swims being as I have only done one other ocean swim ever.  Of course a run or two and some biking.  Then the pre race stuff like packet pick-up, dinner, and meeting.  Family will arrive Thursday and Trick-or-Treat on Friday night.

We land in Pensacola on wed around 10AM, so arrival won't be til noonish. I'd like to get my hotel squared away and then get my bike from tribike transport.

I'm up for the friday post swim meeting, and maybe thursday too, but I wasn't planning on attending the dinners. They stress me way way out and I'm better off if I just cook something and sit quietly!!

We will probably get in Wed. night hopefully around dinner. I am planning on swimming as much as I can. I have never done an ocean swim so I need the practice.

We are staying until Monday I plan on sipping magaritas by the pool all day Sunday.

Getting there Wed. morning...after a *long* drive from Michigan. Probably doing the Gatorade swim when we get there, then we'll get registered, check out the expo and pick up some groceries before we can check into our condo - we're at the Boardwalk too.

Thurs. we'll probably drive the bike course and really try to take it easy...supposed to be a complete day of rest for me, so if you see me trying to sneak in another swim - stop me!

Friday is a :30 swim, :45 bike, and :15 run.

We're getting there Wednesday as well, and hopefully I can head directly to the swim before getting to our condo and checking in, etc. Maybe those of us getting there for the Wednesday swim can meet up then?!? I'd like some friendly faces when I hit the swim for the first time.

I'm doing the swim all 3 days and :15 bike/run all 3 days.

Arriving Wednesday mid-day.  I'd like to drive the whole bike course at some point during week.  Trihardathena - I'd like to meet up either Thursday evening or Friday morning.  Will try to do at least one of the practice swims.  Hope to spend some time meeting you all!

I'm driving and will be there Tuesday evening. I'll go swim Wednesday and register afterwards.

I'll drive the bike course and ride my bike on the run course at some point but not sure which days yet. I don't think, I just do what my coach tells me. :-)

Not getting in until late on Wednesday.  Geezzz, thought I would be "early" and now feel like I'm one of the latest to arrive.  Will swim Thursday morning at Gatoraid session.

Thursday morning - ditto on the job comment above. (Not that it's not a great job to have, but I can't control my schedule too much.)

I'm getting in to Pensacola at 5:40 on Tuesday, so will probably arrive in PCB between 8:00 and 9:00 pm.

I rented a car, so anyone needing a ride let me know.  I haven't figured out bike transportation yet. 

I plan to drive the whole bike course - probably on Wednesday, again anyone needing a ride let me know, I'd be happy to have some company.

I also plan to do the swim on all three days.

trihardathena - 2008-10-06 11:41 AM I am driving in on Tuesday night from Orlando. Offer still stands for a get together for BT folks at my condo either Thursday prior to the banquet or Friday morning after the swim. Let me know if ya'll are interested!

Where's the condo? I'm staying at the Boardwalk Beach Condos.

 My wife was supposed to join me, but it looks like I may be doing this solo. Our sitter to watch the kids has flaked  and now my wife has to stay home with the kids.

 So I could use some company.
