IM FL Training- how is everyone doing?? (Page 10)

LOL- sounds good.  Too bad my head wasn't still shaved- then people would really be afraid of us!

runnergirl - 2006-10-24 3:07 PM A sign actually wouldn't be a bad idea.  I'll be the short girl (I'm 5'1" ) with short dark hair.  I'll probably be wearing a bandana and have funky bed head.  No need to mess with the hair if we're going to swim

Ok, so all the IM pro's and experienced racers can laugh at us, and at the risk of totally humiliating my son, I'll have a lovely sign hanging from my neck with BT in huge letters and hawkrca below.... If someone other than a BT person asks me about it, I can make up some story about good karma and hawks.... Becky

LOL- love it!  You should really scare your son and tell him that you plan to wear your sign on the bike and run

I'm definitely down to swim on Wednesday... however, I'm not 100% sure where my house is (I'm staying w/ Jess, Comet, Aaron, etc. etc.), but I'll try to firm up that info soon.

I would like to do a whole loop (if that's even possible), slow of course, on Wednesday, just so I can get sighting fixes etc. On subsequent days, I'll dial back the swimming volume however.

You will be able to swim a whole loop. They have permanent bouys marking the course--they're small, but they're there. They probably won't put the big, race-day bouys out until early Saturday morning.

Oh...and I'd like to swim the whole course on Wednesday, too (and maybe again on Thursday).

 I'll be doing a Wednesday morning full loop as well (no Thurs swim for me).  Probably 7:30 or 8 depending on the temperature. 
 

I'm gonna leave at about 8am EST to drive to PCB, which means I'll be thaere somewhere around 2pm CST. Any time after that.

But the sun will be going down before 5pm local time, so keep that in mind.

I suggest posting nonsense in the "official" threads. It's working for me.

I am shaking like a chihuahua I've got so much pent up energy.  Rampant nerves are also setting in.  I think the next step is to pee on myself while quivering like a chihuahua in the presence of strangers. 

Ooo look a chicken! LOL. Not to mention it was my wedding anniversary last night and I made my Dh's favorite coconut cake. So I get a nice sugar high every 3 hours. I have no self control, what can I say!

I think there's a thread where you can post your number.

He means "threadS" Becky.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I just did copy and paste- highlight it first of course

That's not the official format.

This is just like the confession thread, although the BIB # threads actually existed, unlike the confession thread that never did.

Well it depends which thread it's going to be posted on.  There's so many...

ONE WEEK KIDS--WE'LL BE ON THE COURSE! Well, the pro's will be finishing.... but I'll probably just be starting my MARATHON!!!! Crazy huh?!

Y'all ready?!
