Extreme Veteran  650    Sacramento, California |  Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official ThreadThe Trooper - 2011-07-25 6:08 PMI haven't chimed in yet, but I have returned from Zombie land. I got Bib #523 my name is Gary. Training went well for me. I was able to handle loads of volume with out any big injuries. Had my share of pains and a couple saddle sores named thing one and thing two. My hat goes off to those of you who took on this challenge with small children, those of you who managed to continue on after injuries, I'm sure most of us overcame many challenges to get this far. I will be rolling in Friday straight to the expo. Not sure which meeting I will make but would like to meet as many of you as possible. Be safe out there . What's up Gary. Looking forward to meeting you. |

#428 here. Been through a bunch of small injuries to get here but I'm going in Saturday at 100%. Crossing the line is my goal, but if I stay within myself I think I can be in the 12's. Jim and I will be there Thursday afternoon. Probably be able to make dinner, maybe the swim. Lookin forward to it. I'm going to have my wife and baby there as well as my parents coming in on Friday so I"ll make sure to find out where home base will be for the BTer supporters. Lovin' the excitement we're all feeling. |

Member 61 | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Hi all, question for those that have done this before. Is there bike tech support available in transition and bike pumps? This is my first time packing and flying with my bike so I'm more nervous than usual about those details (as if having a working bike is a "detail"!) |

Elite 5316 Alturas, California | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread I don't remember seeing any bike tech or pumps in T1, but I didn't need them so I wasn't looking too closely. |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Norcal Bikesport will be providing bike support. They will have staff there with pumps. If you need anything else here is their website. I am sure there will be many folks with pumps there as well. I packed mine. http://www.norcalcycling.com/ |

Is there bike tech support available in transition and bike pumps? This is my first time packing and flying with my bike so I'm more nervous than usual about those details (as if having a working bike is a "detail"!) My bike is flying for the first time since I got it. Two "alleged" employees wheeled the case out of my sight 3 hours ago.Enrique (ecpasos) has assurred me he'll have a pump and tools I can use and is loaning me 2 CO2 cartridges for the race. |

Champion 5781 Northridge, California | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Hope everyone has a good weekend. My wife and I will be in the relay (swim for me, bike for her)...won't be on site until midday Friday, unfortunately, so we can't make it for sushi Thursday. Hope to be able to meet some of you...both my wife and I have raced VM before (both the full and 70.3 for me, Barb's for her), so definitely can answer questions if they come up. |

I'm thinking tomorrow at 1pm we can meet up for doodles, driving the course, and other related fun. Let's meet at Windsor High School and leave from there. I'm hard to miss... Hot pink shoes and inappropriate jokes. |
