You know John is in for the thong...

DougRob - 2009-10-13 2:15 PM For those that sent me their address, you should be expecting a padded white envelope later this week. Let me know when you get it. The wood is NC Sycamore and you they take standard pen cartridges. Just pull the top off. Enjoy.

I was more interested in having a tent where family can hang out, Since John wears the pants, he can get his wife working the grill for post race food : )

OK, I got a problem...  I was cruising around Amazon the other day and they had the Garmin 305 for $140...  That's like $160 off the list price.  I know that it is the older model, but it will serve my purpose just fine.  However, my wife gets nutted up everytime I buy anything from like the first of October until Christmas every year - you know, why did you buy that with Christmas so close, stop buying yourself Christmas presents, yada-yada-yada... 

So, anyway, I convice her to let me buy it to be from her to me for Christmas.  After I bought it, she adds, but you won't get to open it until Christmas...  Now I have to figure out how to make Christmas come early (like this Thursday...)  Anyone got any ideas?

Absolutely on the tent and food!  I see if I can find a good 12x12 awning style tent for us.  My daughter will probably be at the Moody Gardens thing for kids.  My wife will probably want to go hit the strand for some wandering around and shopping time.  I am sure that she would like some company.  We will have transportation for up to 4 people.

John, you know anyone with a trailer bbq pit?

 Maybe I can ditch the hubby and fly solo.  
 

JHagerman - 2009-10-13 2:37 PM Ahh, better yet:

It may be easiest, since we're looking at less than 20 shirts, to order them on your own.  You can go to CafePress or Custom Ink and design the shirt and upload/use the image and put it on whatever shirt, mug, thong that you want.

I that's the route the group wants to go, then email me and I'll send you the original .gif image that you can use for the shirt.  From there you can choose the shirt style and the color of the image.  If you want me to order them as 1 unit to see if we can get a price break, I will.

I would rather have a sports bra than a T-shirt to race in - but that's just me.  Don't exactly want to see some of the guys in sports bras.  

JHagerman - 2009-10-13 2:42 PM

Ahh, I may have missed the 'race shirt' aspect of this.  I was thinking along the lines of a Podium Tee.  A shirt to wear around before and after the race.  Those are about $25... but race wear is a lot more expensive for a small order.  Tech tee's start around $20 for the shirt alone.

dalessit - 2009-10-13 2:44 PM

looking at the site, you can pretty much get whatever you want.  I would prefer what you are talking about Jermey just a t-shirt, they have the organic cotton ones for 28 bucks. 

Though tracy feel free to get the sprots bra by all means...

I love the image but think a more sarcastic tag line would be more appropriate for our group.  Someone might expect results from us or something........

Editted for after thought, if we are making our own shirts how about we personalize the saying?

tahrens - 2009-10-13 1:47 PM


My bad, I was thinking "race shirt" meant to be worn during the race.  Good idea Jeremy. 

tahrens - 2009-10-13 1:36 PM Damn you all, just when I had myself talked out of Lonestar you go and make it really sound fun!!!   Maybe I can ditch the hubby and fly solo - that would be cheaper right?   I would rather have a sports bra than a T-shirt to race in - but that's just me.  Don't exactly want to see some of the guys in sports bras.  I'll really have to think about this now. 

Speaking of race outfits, wasn't it Barry who had the bet with a buddy about wearing a certain race outfit......what ever happened with that?  We want photos or it didn't happen.

Funny story,  if some of you remember there is a photo of me leaving T1 for the bike during my half with a guy in shorty black shorts, no top and a hydro pack on.  Well, he made another race appearance at the Dougs' olympic this weekend.  I saw him exitiing T1 with his bike and burst out laughing.  People around me were looking at me like I was nuts, it probably was rather rude, but I couldn't help myself.  Please men, don't race in shorty shorts.  It's not a good look, especially from the back on the bike.

roni_runnw - 2009-10-13 3:41 PM Ramping up the miles for the 50k is going pretty good. I've logged 75 miles so far this month. They've been slow, and I'm being pretty cautious about it, but I'm getting closer to where I should be on the training plan. I've even found some trails to run... figured it would be a good idea to actually do some trail running before doing a 50k trail run

swbkrun - 2009-10-13 3:58 PM

Roni- It's all about pacing!  I couldn't image trying to figure out what pacing would be for a 50k trail run.... Speaking of trail run.  We missed you last week!  Next time you are please give me more than an hours notice and we will hook up for sure !!!!  Just one bit of advice.... Please hit the trails soon.  It is very different running on trails than road.  Believe it or not your are working different muscle groups trail running.  Plus your ankles need stregthening-- HIT THE TRAILS!!!
