Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas 2012 : Official Thread (Page 47)

SO in other news its POURING outside here in south Texas.  Not sure I will get my workouts in today. My pool is outside and its currently raining a bit too hard to go running.  Also I spent 1/2 the night putting a 9 year olds arm back together.  I have reached the age where the minimum amount of sleep my body needs is 5 hours.  I got about 3:45 last night and I am WHOOPED!  I did get to come home and take a nap but I still am whooped.  That in combination wiht a severe case of ironman brain and I am pretty worthless

So are we planning an BT meet ups?   A lunch or something?  I do not know the venue or area at all.  Maybe we could meet up for the swim on friday and maybe lunch somewhere after?  There is a mall near the venue so we could do soemting as simple as the foot court as that would offere everone something their diet will allow?  I am planning or going to the practice swim friday am and will wear my BLUE BT shirt that has IMFL stuff on the back.  Should we start a watching thread with everyones number name etc?

I'll see if I can find my Blue IMFL BT shirt as well.  Maybe someone can make a little BT sign for the swim.  It was hard to recognize BTers in LP a couple of years ago.

Can't wait....Packing one of my bags right now, I suggest you have a nice list of what you need to bring and what you'd like to bring.  Makes packing so much easier.

As you are local could you suggest a meeting place for the swim or a restuarant for a breakfast of lunch?  I will try to make a sign.

Drove to Richmond to drop off my bike only to find out that the store was closed for inventory.  Who closes a store for inventory when they are expecting multiple bike drop offs throughout the day for tomorrow's early tribike transport pick up?  Luckily, the guy inside understood and came out and accepted my gear along with another person's.

Received my new Joule in the mail today and it connected with my computer right away.  Was worried that it wouldn't make it in time.  I'm happy.

Half my gear is packed and out of my hands.

TriPatrick - 2012-05-09 6:52 PMMy son has pre-k graduation at 9:30 so I will miss breakfast. last year a few of us sat at a table together at the Thursday dinner. If anyone wants we can do that as well.

I'm in for the Thursday night meet up too.

I fly in thursday night. I am not sure I can meet up but if people are doing anything friday I would like to meet some fellow BTs. As for my training here. The sun is finally out and the 40 days and 40 nights have passed here in seattle. Noah is expected to unload this weekend. To bad my bike is already in route to the race or I would love to ride it when the sun is out.

How late are you flying in on Thursday? There is no Athlete check in on the schedule for Friday... Hope you get here in time to check in on Thursday

Based on the event schedule, Athlete Check in is only on Weds and Thurs

Bike is safely delivered to Detroit, a wonderfull 5.5 hrs of windshield time today.

Why didn't I think up the business idea of Tribike Transport, ingenious

She should be able to check in on Wed, and come back on Friday as long as she's back in time to check in her bike and bags per the scheduled times.

I got lucky, my confirmation email said 5-11-12 at noon was the pickup time so I planned on taking today off and getting in a 3hr ride and then cleaning her up and driving over on Friday morning. Late Wednesday night I was on the bike shops website to get the address and realized they changed my drop off time to a day earlier. That would have sucked bad.
