Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I feel like I am way too late, and I am an east coast American with the belief that time znes should revolve around me, so I need help in translating he time, but whenever it is, I AM IN. |

If I plug that into time zone calculator, first wave starts Friday afternoon at 5:00pm Eastern time and 2:00pm Pacific time. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I see you don't have anybody during your transitions. I will be happy to be with you there, but I have to warn you I take them nice and easy and I ALWAYS grab a handful of M&M's when I get off the bike! |

![]() Japan is one day ahead, but 5 hours behind Hawaii. So if you are starting at 7:30 am Japan time, that's like 12:30 pm on Friday. I normally eat lunch around 11:30 am, so put me down for your last pre-race snack one hour before your race. I'll eat a pop tart. |

Royal(PITA) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() No clue about Japan time and east coast time. My brains don't compute that many time zones without a lot of effort and after the week I've had mental effort is not gonna happen for trivial things like time zone computation.
I am in however, for whatever portion of the run you want. (((MELONPRESS))) in advance cause you need them to keep moving. |

Melon Presser ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() As always, really overwhelmed by the love and support. Thank you all. Here's the current lineup and there are still plenty of spots left (doubles on the swim and run) ...

Maybe you should tape the Gucci ad to your transition bag. ![]() Just realized your race is on Aug 31- that would have been my dad's 74th birthday so it is a special day! |

Try this: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ You can use the meeting planner, enter the two (or more cities) and it will give you the time in each city. ![]() |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm available if you need help in T2 (though I tend to have difficulty with it in reality, based on my recent race results), or doubles on the swim. (Always wanted to do an Ironman swim, if not the rest of the race, so will gladly join you in spirit there!) Not sure what's involved in virtual pacing. I'll be at a conference in Shanghai (or should be) on the 31st, so at least I'll be physically pretty close--not sure about tracker access but I'll try when I can get away with it. Go for it! |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I think it's basically a day ahead of us, so that'd be Friday afternoon here. We'll be thinking of you all day, lending our strength to you. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'll be thinking of you throughout the day/night (since I'm about 13 hours behind). Good luck Yanti! Edited by KateTri1 2013-08-24 10:41 AM |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() If you lose your appetite or run out of food I'll eat for ya! Remember, I can pick up stuff someone dropped and get it down with a smile. Hell, it might have even been left over from a previous race! And, in the event you start to slack off, just remember. I'm right behind you, ready to show you my LIZARD! ![]() (For anyone not in on the joke, I suggest you click on the link in my sig.) |
