montyzooma - 2009-09-04 8:41 AM Anyone know why the Ironman web sites are down?

LazyMarathoner - 2009-09-04 8:39 AM Those who've used Tribike Transport - how strict are they on bag size for the gear bag? I want to send my TYR transition bag but it's a tiny bit over the 12x12x18 they specify. Just curious if they are fine with that.

LazyMarathoner - 2009-09-03 9:21 PM My podiatrist, who will forever be known as the grim reaper, no matter how much I like or respect him, called tonight and delivered another blow. He read my MRI films and agrees with the radiologist's prognosis. The rupture is about 1.5cm across my fascia and I have a lot of fluid in my foot. I was pain free today and he says it's deceiving, I'm young and healthy so I'll have pain relief quickly but won't be recovered. He said if it were him he'd do the swim and bike and DNF the race. But he's done 4 Ironmans and has another coming up. How can he possibly know how I feel? I have about a .05% chance of finishing this race. It's time to let go and focus on the future. I'll be there next week and I'll join you all for the swim and bike and then in T2, where I was a volunteer last year thinking about being there a year later, I'll withdraw from the race and deal with it. This really sucks. I really wanted a shred of hope that I could do this, but it looks like it's not in the cards for me. I'm devastated.

Phil shut 'em down because  THEY didn't go through HIM to assign bib numbers.

I like pea soup, with lot's of HAM!! Now I will be thinking of myself as one of 2500 little pieces of ham floating around in a big pot of pea soup. YUM!!! Bacon .... yea ..... that's it, I'm a big piece of bacon. YUM!!!

It will all be cleared up before next weekend. AJ promises!! She started this!

Oh yea, don't shut up. Take pictures so we can all see. If there's no pics, it didn't happen!!

Now, when will you give us your bib #,

Birkierunner - 2009-09-04 9:40 AM

I don't want my bib number anywhere near this thread....bad juju

1stTimeTri - 2009-09-04 9:34 AM

I'M ANAL and I accept that, dambit, and want to keep it clean for whoever will be using it later for tracking.
Now, when will you give us your bib #, or do we have to guess, or is your butler doing more important things, or are you still waiting for a number for your 'stache?

IM WI is up at this time, as far as I can tell.  I told them to change Jim's number every 15 min., too.

Algae eating snakes...what? What?  WHAAAAAAAT?

triguy22 - 2009-09-04 8:02 AM I know a lot of us are going to meet up at the gatorade swim on Friday.  Does anyone want to try and get a bt table together at the dinner Friday night?  Or has this already been established? 

montyzooma - 2009-09-04 9:59 AM

Still can't get it from here? Must be stuck in a infinite do loop changing Jim's numbers?

1stTimeTri - 2009-09-04 10:53 AM

So is having me on the same course when you are competing.

Whizzzzz - 2009-09-04 11:32 AM

Snakes only eat algae. Not humans. And we are bigger than they are, so they are probably more scared of us than we are of them.

Mutherfcuking snakes in a Mutherfcuking lake!

Snakes don't scare me. Except for maybe boa constrictors.

rstocks3 - 2009-09-04 11:49 AM

You!? Have you read my race reports this year? You might not want to be anywhere in front of me, people seem to feel the need to crash when I'm around.

Was eating sushi by the lake today....kinda lost my appetite.  But here it is....

Oh no!  If this is what I see on race morning I'm just going to skip it and go drink coffee.
