Master 2314 Gulf Shores, AL | Subject: RE: Any Original BT members out there? 2005, i met so many fellow bt'ers. Before facebook and other big social media. We used it after katrina to help locate affected friends. 2006 a big group of us trained and encouraged each other for ironman florida and we sat with each other at the prerace dinner and cheered each other on the course. I still have a couple friends who call us when they come to the beach and we visit. I stopped using the logs last year but i will go back and fix that. A couple special memories were Lucy, one of her goals was to do a 30 minute 5k. After she died unexpectedly, someone organized a virtual 5k on here and a bunch of us went out a ran a 30 minute 5 k in her honor. Another one was JD Wright, he was a double transplant (liver and kidney i think). He was from Indiana but had family near me. I kinda mentored him on here and he and his family came down here and he did his triathlon here. What a great day. He also passed away a couple years later. I also enjoyed mentoring several others and those that were close by I actually raced with. Great memories of this site. |

Master 2005 South Florida | Subject: RE: Any Original BT members out there? Lucy <3. I met some great people from here. I miss the culture - facebook and the like are not the same...nor is strava. There was something really cool about BT.

TinkerBeth 23096 Liverpool, New York | Subject: RE: Any Original BT members out there? It's fun to see some familiar names and faces here. I originally joined in August of 2006 - I'll never forget the challenge forum and the fun we had with Nibbs, although I can't for the life of me remember what it stood for. I'm back, probably not to do tris again - although who knows. I found myself missing the camaraderie and a safe, fun place to log my workouts and write about life. It's funny, but it seems to mean more if I log my exercise myself rather than watching it being automatically tracked by a fitness device. Those little orange squares bring back good memories and some motivation. |

Expert 1035 lake forest, California | Subject: RE: Any Original BT members out there? I found BT around 2006 as I trained for my first triathlon, and didn't leave for many many years The people I met, the inspirations, trials and errors of others all helped me keep focused and finish many races including IM's. Fond memories of this place for sure

Master 2210 Columbus, OhioCoaching member | Subject: RE: Any Original BT members out there? Great hearing from everyone! I joined in 2008. A few years back, I bought the company from Ron so he could focus on his brewery. It's a generous time... Tell you what. Since I changed the logo, I have a whole bunch of BT tattoo with the old logo on them. I'll send five for free to everyone in this thread if you PM me your mailing address! Alice |
