Subject: BT Buddies, Couples...

So how many of us have met BTers IRL (In Real Life) and see or talk to each other on a regular basis? I believe we have a new "official" couple to add to BT's romance list...but here is DT's (Dave) and my finish at our recent tri :-)

I've met quite a few BT'ers, including the two of you right before you got married. 

I'm also married to a BT'er, but we were married long before either of us was on BT.

At least a dozen or so...  It's funny- I only see them IRL a few times a year (talk to them more often than that), but everytime we meet up it's like we just saw each other yesterday.

Easily have met 100s of BTers. Traveled 1000s of miles to spend time and watch several of them race.

Met #1 (Tri Take Me Away) at the BT house for IM Florida in 2007.

I've met a handful of BTers, and some former TNOers who are now (sporadic) BTers. I know far more folks from (the old) Runner's World Forums (most of us left them in 2006, after The Change :p). I've met probably more than 100 of them, and some I've known for well over a decade. We travel to races, hang out, talk regularly.

Never married any of them, though ;-)

I've had the pleasure of meeting several BT'ers at various races.  I'm married to a BT'er but found LONG before we found BT.  There are several that I am friends with and have not had the pleasure of meeting, yet!  If it weren't for some on this site, I probably wouldn't have stuck around.

My husband and I were married LONG before BT, but here we are at the Gator Bait Tri.  

Photobucket

We met TXWildcat there

My husband paced a marathon for Ironultrared and she and I have become very close friends since then!

tinkerbeth stayed with me and did a half mary with me a few years ago

max came here to do a 10K with me and stayed at the house

My last trip to NY for a race I met up with my "BT husband"  dexter and  "BT run coach" kenj

I met handbone at a half mary in Georgia 2010

my daughter (miss thing) has a BT account but hasn't logged here in forever cause she would rather do show choir/ dancing thaan running.

I have been lucky enough to meet a few BT'er in person and they are great people. I talk to a few BT'ers every day over texts or facebook I just wish everyone lived closer so I could see them more often.
