How many of you guys are planning on having to walk some of the run? I am planning to run the whole thing....

If my sprint history translates to my olympic progression I should screw up majorly at some point.... ;(

If that is the case it will probably be on the run.

Bro- how about some positive thinking- the above isn't very good in terms of doing well. "Whether you think you can or can't, you are usually right" - Henry Ford

Okay Ricci....just for that I'm taking you out!! Just kidding.... I can honestly say that I can see where all my base training over the last 6 months or so has paid off. I will be ready for MiM but it took me 4 sprint tri's to get a race that I didn't have some kind of malfunction.... Flat tire, horrible nausea or just plan out of gas on the run... I finished them all though.

Even Mr Ford would have to say that there is nothing like experience...

Bring it mr Biseman! I LOVE competition.

Pacing, pacing, pacing - and good tires should help you a lot this time through.

Just a little heads up..... MiM is about 2 months away .... so if you haven't been training now would be a decent time to start.....

Anybody know of a decent hotel within 30 minutes from the race site? I've waited too late and it looks like anything decent in Millington is booked.

I live in Oakland which is about 25 minutes away. There is a Comfort Inn there. I would give them a call. I doubt anyone even knowa its there.

Nevermind, I got spooked when the lady at the Admiralty Inn said "I hope you don't want anything for May 20." and booked a room at the Embassy Suites somewhere on the far other side of Memphis. Looks like I'll just be getting up a few minutes earlier.

Anybody have a rough guess of drive time that early on a Sunday?

Hey, what;s up!

I'm out for the race. I ended up signing up for my first OLY here in Arkansas. It's a week earlier and capped at 125. I just did Austin with almost a 1000 people, so I'm kinda stepping down for a bit. If time frame is bad for anyone here is the link for the ArkanThaw.

I do not discriminate on jockstrappers!! You would be more than welcomed. Plus you can help take pictures of the hot tri chicks while we are out racing!!! Chris and I are going up on Friday to hit the expo and so we can be there to watch my coach race the mountain bike challenge on saturday.

Sunday post-race sounds good. With the pro staying at my house, I don't want him to feel crowded or not get the rest he needs. Now as for us, well....
