Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas 2012 : Official Thread (Page 54)

I worked in the penalty tent once.  If you get a penalty there are 2 kinds one is a 2 minute and one is a 4 minute I think.  One is yellow (which I think is the 2 minutre one) and I don't remember the other color. If you have a 2 minute one you stop in teh tent they mark your bib and you sign a form and get let go so its really not 2 minutes.  If you get the 4 minute they will hand you a stop watch when you pull in mark your bib have you sign a form and when the stop watch hits 4 minutes you may leave the tent.  the thent is a big YELLOW thing that says PENATLY TENT on it.  Hard to miss.  If you get a penalty don't be nasty to the people in the tent.  They did not give you the penalty are most likely volunteers and are just the enforcers.

I hope a crap load of people stood in line in the sun and heat to meet Chrissie Wellington today.  With over 400 in my age group I'm gonna need around 395 dudes to cramp up real bad.

If you're reading this and racing tomorrow please rest up and have a great race tomorrow.

If you're reading this and spectating tomorrow please hydrate and wear your sunscreen.

If you're reading this and aren't going to be doing either, have a great weekend.

As you can tell, my dvd player crapped out on me and I'm bored.  Going to sleep in 7 hours.

No Idea.  pain in the rear. I had a woman who questioned why my number wasn't on my bike, even though it was right on the seatpost.  Had to physically point it out to her. 

New security thing.  Was stupid they would not let you hold your own bike

Sweet, I was in the merchandise tent getting some crap when she came in to start signing. They must have sold a few hundred books in a few minutes time. Then they were out. Hopefully they had more. Not like WTC to lose out on an opportunity to cash in on something.

I was  a bit confused cause they had signs that said show us your IM tattoo. So I just started walking through when a volenteered stopped me and said we have to take a pic.

anyone else not get their swim cap in their bag when they checked in..i checked in first thing wednesday morn and there were a few people who didnt get them either...i guess i will bring my own just in case there is nowhere to get it in the morn...im 35-39...whats the color?

thanks and good luck to all!
