Gabbing Gobblers - November Challenge (Page 34)

billsorg - 2009-11-18 9:59 AM Good morning, Gobblers! I'm very excited today! I've locked in all my races for the 2010 triathlon season. I'm going to do the same type of schedule as 2009, start with a sprint, then 2 olympics and finish with a HIM. For some reason, getting the races "officially" on my calendar (i.e. paying for them) really gets me stoked about the upcoming season. It also makes me say, "HOLY #%*^%#&! THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE SPORT!" 5/29 - Tri for our Vets, Sea Isle, NJ (Sprint) 6/27 - Philly Tri (Olympic) 8/15 - Northeast Tri, Northeast, MD (Olympic) 9/19 - Syracuse Ironman 70.3 The only other thing I'm thinking of adding is the NJ Marathon in April. I've never done a marathon before and would love to check that off the "bucket list". Have a great day everyone! Bill

disturbed275 - 2009-11-18 7:42 PM Hey Gobblers!  I got yet another swim in today.  I'm only 2000 yards away from having a record month swimming-wise.  And there's a lot of month left

billsorg - 2009-11-18 11:12 AM Maybe some sponsorships can help ease some of the costs! Do you think Cannondale, Speedo or Nike are looking to sponsor any WAAAAAAY-back-of-the-packers???

KOM - 2009-11-18 7:41 PM My in-box has been flooded with 2010 race information.  I am very bad at deciding early! But I hope to do my first HIM so I really should decide now so that I can get on a schedule for training.  It is relatively cheaper if I sign up now as well..... *sigh* time to HTFU and jump!

Your schedule looks great BTW!

billsorg - 2009-11-19 8:02 AM Neal... Way to go on the SWIMMAGE! Too bad about the hip. I think I'm going to "swim vicariously" through you this month! Too bad about the hip. I hope you can get that worked out soon. Meeting schedule looks ugly today. I am hoping to get over to the gym at lunch for a quick swim, but it's looking iffy at best. And someone please send over that Starbucks I.V. bag... I need a slow drip today!

You would think that by sponsoring some of us BOP's  (or EOP in my case) would help keep the product promotion going through the entire race... I mean afterall, once the FOP's get their awards they're out of there but us EOP's are still on the course

KOM - 2009-11-19 9:43 AM I think you are right.  They would be getting MAXIMUM exposure for their product not just a measly couple of hours!

Plus, my butt is bigger than lots of the faster athletes, so their logo can be bigger.

Well, I'm running vicariously through everyone else right now so it's only fair.  I couldn't get in to the sports med doc till Tuesday so more rest and swimming on my horizon.

My problem is trying to decide if to race or go home   Haven't been home in 5yrs... and if I go home, I don't think I will want to race down there (too hot and humid)  though it'd be cheaper and I would loose more weight if I stayed in UT and raced... go to La and it will cost more and I will GAIN weight...  oh the decisions,  stay home and race or see family and eat???
