Master 2014 Ohio | Subject: RE: Beach 2 Battleship : Official Thread Amy and 2 Goggs, how are you feeling today? I feel really run down. I blew off my hour bike ride yesterday because I didn't feel like doing it. I don't remember feeling this way before IMKY. Weather.com is showing am clouds and PM sun with a high of 71 for Saturday!

I'm glad you cleared that up. I was going to be just a little frightened if you were already packed for a trip that is still 6-7 days away.  I mean, we're all just a little type A, but come on... |

NOt sure what your finish time looks like - heck, I'm not sure what my finish time looks like, but we are at Wrightsville Beach and have a minvan - you are welcome to ride back with us if you are still there when I am done! |

I'm in the same boat...I'm not sure if I will have a sherpa or not to help me back to my hotel in Wrightsville Beach. I will have the numbers for cab companies (on the B2B website under transportation) in my bag just in case...but will probably ask around after the race to see if anyone is heading in the same direction! As for the Z-pack, unless you already have a bacterial infection, that won't really help. If you simply have a viral upper respiratory tract infection (which is what it sounds like), antibiotics will make no difference. You can take over-the-counter cold remedies for your symptoms and then basically just rest. I think Vitamin C helps as well. |

Extreme Veteran 326 | Subject: RE: Beach 2 Battleship : Official Thread Thanks guys! I am sure between the whole BT Crew we can arrange something....if not I am sure I pick up some local hot chick to drive me back to the beach...My game is soooo good that the twelve or so hours of sweat, pee, blood, and tears will go unoticed! |

Master 2202 Canton, Michigan | Subject: RE: Beach 2 Battleship : Official Thread You Da Man! Picking up the hot chickies all stinky takes some serious Mojo! If worse comes to worse you can stop by our rental house and drink We should be at the swim Friday morning and the wife is to chicken to swim in salt water so she can cruise some folks back and forth. We'll have some type of full size rental car?

We plan on parking my truck as close as possible to downtown/Battleship Friday night after dinner. We will catch a cab or a ride back to the beach Friday night, and catch the shuttle to T1 in the morning from the hotel. The truck will be close by after the race to take us back to the beach. |

Master 2202 Canton, Michigan | Subject: RE: Beach 2 Battleship : Official Thread I'd be happy to offer some parking spots at the rental but I don't even know what to expect. I know I should have an off street parking spot. Were on the corner of Ann and Front, right were the run course travels as it leaves downtown and from google maps .33 miles from the boat dock were we should be dumped off |
