Alpharetta, Georgia | Subject: RE: Redman Triathlon - Half Redman : Official Thread #876 and only 19 ladies in my age group - at least in the general entry. Seems low. There are 8 more ladies in my age group on the "qualifiers" list. Wonder if they will split the qualifiers from the general entries in the results? Oh, and Hampton Bricktown is where it's at. |

Expert 1083 The Woodlands, TX | Subject: RE: Redman Triathlon - Half Redman : Official Thread lisac957 - 2009-08-23 12:19 PM I think body marking would be a great way to do this. Or a custom-made shirt. Wonder if you can custom make technical tees? We had some made at runningbanana.com. They were a pretty good quality too. |

I have an unrational fear of hotel whirlpools.I have an irrational fear of people who use made up words. My fears are just subrational, not unrational. I have to say I do have a very very real fear that I'm going to be BOP in this sucka. With all the people who qualified -- that means there's gonna be lots of fasties out there. Ltos of sub-5 folks. That's going to kind of suck to see the results. As long as I set a PR that's all that matters, I reckon. |

Master 1730 Straight outta Compton | Subject: RE: Redman Triathlon - Half Redman : Official Thread I agree. I actually like watching the speed demons- gives me ideas on how I can get better. This is my first 1/2, so I'm trying to set a benchmark going forward. I've got a goal in mind and I'm hoping my run will be good enough that I can smash it. |

Master 1730 Straight outta Compton | Subject: RE: Redman Triathlon - Half Redman : Official Thread Anyone here know about Dick Dime and his accident? If so, I'm thinking about a cheer-me-up for him on behalf of the Redman racers. PBR's come immediately to mind. I am thinking of perhaps doing a toast for him after we're all done- with PBR's, of course. A picture with a quote of something like "Richard, you inspire all of us to kick - this PBR is for you!" Thoughts? |

Thoughts? That'd be cool! I met Dick Dime at Ironman Kansas this year... I even bought him a 12-pack of PBR for the camp site. Great guy! So will there be a BT meet up? Those are pretty hard to plan. Wish we had a tent or something. I know I'll be hanging out at my tri club's tent after the race... if anyone wants to come say hi I'll be at the Kansas River Valley Triathlon Club's tent. Last year it was on the red carpet finish line... |

Master 1730 Straight outta Compton | Subject: RE: Redman Triathlon - Half Redman : Official Thread Lisa, if you guys have a cooler and a lot of ice I'll be happy to supply the PBR's. Fortunately DD doesn't drink Guinness or Heineken! LOL You'll be able to see me, I'll be the really tall guy carrying cases of PBR on Friday during the course preview. Also staying @ the Hampton Bricktown. Maybe we should plan a meetup time or something? Sounds like a few hundred of us will be there.... |

But if it was anything like last year, I will need a place close to the finish to sit for awhile. |

Pro 4292 Evanston, | Subject: RE: Redman Triathlon - Half Redman : Official Thread Hi All! This is CitySky/Celeste in OKC - I'll be volunteering at this race and have a question for those doing the half: What would you like at a run aid station? Any particular snack etc.? Assistance is legal if it comes from an official volunteer. Last time I volunteered a race I had everything I could think of, including mints and bandaids and Enduralytes and Fig Newtons specially requested by a BTer. (The Enduralytes went like candy -- it was hot that day!) Anything you might need that won't be regularly provided? I say this mainly for the 1/2 Iron folks because I'll be there only through early afternoon - will head out with TexasMPGal sometime after she's finished. Don't know what mile they will have me at yet, but will post if I find out. |

I don't usually pray, but I am this week for good weather. First half, been training since January and I would be devastated if this thing got cancelled. |
