Yanti's facebook posts are alarming - stuck in Korea with flights being bumped all over the place - she may make it to the start line....

All typical Yanti fashion - please send good travel vibes her way!

<3 <3 <3 Jojo ... talk about a 6-hour Salty-worthy shyte show!!!

All I can say is, thank God! (really that's all there is to say ... but you know I'm gonna say more)

Really long convoluted story and it really didn't look like I'd be getting to the IM site until the NIGHT BEFORE THE RACE (if they even let me register that late)

A lot of good things happened. I'm still out a few hundred bucks regarding rearrangements on the Japan side and will *barely* get to IM site Lake Toya in time for registration (need good road vibes!) but at least I'm blowing out of Korea like a bat out of hell! Now to just transfer that to the race course

I really would rather have kept my money and napped for 6 hours ... but it really is all good, too.

Much love and {MELON PRESS} to the Manatees.

I'm starting my virtual Yanti support early. I changed my avatar to one of her pics. We have a tradition in my family of changing our profile pics on special days, things like Mother's day or Father's day are celebrated with pics of special people. This is MerYanti weekend on BT for me.

Race well MerYanti, we know you will!

Not Lou?

IM Whistler is on tap for 2015.

Nope - I've made the executive decision to ixnay Lou.  Whizzz and I were trying to get a few people together to do it, but she's most likely not going to do an IM at all next year due to medical issues, and I've found that I really don't do well with high humidity and/or heat.  So... no Lou for me. 

Instead:  Choo Chooooooo!!

Originally posted by mtnbikerchk so far my short tri career includes only sprints - HOWEVER, reading everyone's IM race reports and watching what I can find online etc......I'm getting itchy I have my first half picked out for Sept 2014.......so maybe 2015......

It'll be interesting to see how fast IM Chat sells out.  There seems to be a lot of interest but IMMT and IMC are both still opened -- not to mendion CdA and TX which generally take a bit longer.  I'm thinking that we'll need to be fast to get into the it but I thought Boulder would go the first day (first hour!) too.

Originally posted by amd723 You guys are confusing my pea brain with the change in Avis! I'd do it myself, but I have no idea how to capture one of her pics and make it my own. Yes, I'm that dumb.
