Timberman - Half Iron (Page 4)

There's the one on Friday with the pros and stuff who will talk and sign autographs...not sure what they're serving (have to buy tix). And then Sat is the carbo dinner. I didn't buy tix for Fri night yet. I don't know what I am diong. I am very stressed by the whole food situation right now. I like to avoid crowds too....which is why I may not be up for a BT get together.

I recommend either The Italian Farmhouse (Jorge - was this where you were thinking?) or Lago, Lakehouse, or Camp (all Common Man-owned restaurants), all in Meredith.  None take reservations (a problem rampant in NH), but you can do call-ahead seating, so if I have a tally#, I'm happy to call around 5:00 p.m. when they open for dinner and put our group name in.

Meredith is about 20 minutes from Gilford.  A hair closer is Fratello's in Laconia: http://www.fratellos.com. 

I'm not taking my laptop, so I won't have access to BT as of Thursday AM when I travel up for the race. I might join you guys for dinner, but in all honesty, 7:00/7:30 is probably a little too late for me. I'll be in bed between 8:30 and 9 on Friday.

Hopefully, we'll have a plan set by Wed, but I won't be able to commit 100% until Friday. My mom is traveling up with me, so she will be joining us for dinner if I go. I know how to get in touch with Jorge if I need to reach one of you while up there to make plans.

Also, lobstergirl, thanks for the no reservations heads up.

Well, I vote for the place in Laconia . Only because I am staying there...

How far is Meredith from Laconia? I'll check a map when I get home I guess.

I can't come Friday night - is anyone going to the Saturday night pasta dinner?

Undecided. Leading towards NO, though. I don't want to be around all that nervous energy the night before...I'm nervous enough as it is. I am coming from out of town, though, so it might end up being the most convenient dinner option for me.

The wife and I will probably be at the pasta dinner Saturday.  We won't be heading out until Saturday morning, so I have to pass on the Friday get together.  Sorry. 

Just kidding ;P

Darn it! I was getting excited about it .

I'll be going to the dinner with the pros on Friday (I my 10 year old wants to schmooze and get autographs), so I can't go to anything on Friday.

If someone is interested in organizing a BT section at the Saturday pasta dinner, I'd join in there.

Question, got those of you who have done this race and Mooseman which course is tougher?

You live, and I'm assuming also train, in a place called Rocky Hill. Do you really think this course is going to be tough for you?

Can't answer your question. I haven't done Mooseman or Timberman before...and I train in the flats . You'll be fine .

I agree with Jorge - Mooseman is tougher. There are some gnarly climbs at the beginning and end of the Timberman bike course, but you get a break in the middle for a while.

Is anyone else so excited they just can't contain themselves????

Actually,  I am not racing Timberman this year, but beginning my reconnaissance for next year!! This will be my A race for next year!!
