2006 IMFL Accommodations, travel and more... advice welcome! (Page 3)

I think that is a most excellent idea!!

oh, and by the way, I saw the body count rising on the condo and normally I am fine with couch or floor but I got a chance to share a small condo with the G8Rs...but I think we are all within a mile or two ...sorry it includes a bed...

But I will be cooking for you...Yes I still want to cook for all of you for the BIG BT pasta dinner (I promise)..the night before you all??...

and guys, I am a former cheerleader, Italian and a Yankee, trust me, I will be a loud obnoxious, fun, motivating jockstrapper (ok I used that phrase by the way at church this week and forgot it is not a known word in our context outside us...and I wondered why everyone looked at me funny!)

runnergirl29 - 2006-07-06 1:44 PM I think we should have a jock strapping competition on the course for IM FL.  A few jock straps pair up and MUST have a theme.  After the race the IM participants vote on the best group of jock strappers based on content of signs, attire, course rowdiness, etc.  That will force all the jock strappers to go all out when they see us on the course   What do ya'll think?

Best idea ever. This will be an awesome way to motivate the racers.... it'll be fun to actually look forward to the next jockstrap group---the hours will fly by faster, that's for sure!

I'm driving in from Austin, Texas on Wednesday before the race with about 4 others from the area.  We still don't have a place to stay but will post when we get it all figured out.  Some are coming on Wed, family on Friday, etc.  Thanks for all the ideas!

By the way, Comet and Tri Take Me Away set the bar pretty high for Jockstrappen' at Buffalo Springs.  If that can be beat then we are in for a rockin' good time and plenty of motivation!

That's where I'm staying too!  I think jg2ga is staying there as well!

I booked my ticket to come down ...flying into Tallahasse. Makes it more real that I get go, watch my first IM, be inspired and watch Sue plus lots of you complete an amazing race.

My family (husband & 5 kids) think it is odd that this is what I want to do for my birthday...I think it will be an awesome way to spend it...watching others do something special.

The address of the BT house is

7422 Thomas Drive, PCB. I will be arriving between 2-4 on Wednesday to meet the owner, give him his money, and sign the contract. Any time after 4 you guys are wewlcome to filter in. See you then! Please PM me if you want my # in case you get lost or something.

Uh huh.

<shudder>

those condos are very nice- I'm jealous!
