Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 56)

I am getting there Tuesday night so I would be up for a swim Wednesday.

Cool, how about same time, same place:  Boardwalk beach hotel, on the boardwalk (beach side of hotel), meet at 8:00.  You've seen my picture (avitar) I'll wear my BT shirt, but it may be chilly and covered up.  Everyone who's in town on Wed, Thurs, Fri are welcome to these swims.  Friends and family as well. 

Of course it's swim at your own risk.

Something else to remember in your pre race planning,  remember to plan to Vote. 

And with us traveling and racing the weekend before election day, you may wish to vote early.

I arrive Tuesday but won't have access to my wetsuit until Weds afternoon as it is with by bike and tri bag  which are in route to FL.  I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday and Friday.

Safe travels to everyone and here's hoping that the storm doesn't cause major travel issues for  those on the east coast.

OFFICIALLY its ONLY weds and thursday.  I think it closes at 5pm.  UNofficially I have seen them allow people to register on friday.  If you think its going to be a problem CALL or email the RD

For those in the north east, here's what I just sent to the RD.  I'll let you know if/when I receive a response.

I'm sure you've already received this question, however are there any plans to allow participants traveling from the north east to check in late (on Friday) if flights are cancelled / delayed due to Hurricane Sandy?  I am scheduled to fly out of Hartford on Wednesday and it appears that there is good chance the flight may be cancelled or delayed a day or more.  Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for your email.  I sent one too.  Hopefully alot of us did.  I'm scheduled to leave out of Westchester/While Plains airport on Wednesday and think it's a good bet that my flight will be delayed.

Not much wind/rain here yet, but it's apparently going to start for real later tonite.  Stay safe everyone.

I sent one as well.  I'm suppose to fly out of Newark around noon on Wednesday.  Anyone want to car pool the 20 hr drive?  Just kidding.... Not Really.... 

Driving is the last option, but unfortunately, I'm considering it.  I would rather have a poor finish time because I'm tired from driving than a DNS.

I'm thinking about it as well.  Its about a 22 hour drive for me.  Going to see how things play out over the next 24-48 hours.

I'm doing the same thing.  If I drive, probably leaving Tuesday sometime.

Seems like we should rent a bus and make a few stops in the CT/NY/NJ area so we can all get there safe and in time.  

Depends on where your plane is coming from, the airline you're flying and how long filights were cancelled for.  Even if the weather id fine on Thursday morning (which it should be) there can be issues.  My biggest concern is that there are predicted wind gusts of 30-40 mph through Thursday because of the hard turn the storm is taking and planes wont be allowed off of the ground in that kind of wind.

How is the neighboorhood the run course goes through for bringing little ones trick or treating.  My three year old is a shark, my wife is a lifeguard and I am a shark attack victim and my cure is candy.

so cute!

I think we are planing on taking our kids (7 and 4) to Pier Park.  My wife is planning everything and I believe she said we are going to Seaside early afternoon for something they are putting on and then heading to Pier Park. 

Also staying at the Shores of Panama with trick-or-treating kids.  Looking at going to the mall with the kids for a little while.  Would also be fun to get a list of Shores people so the kids could trick-or-treat at the condo as well.   Maybe plan a time for "condo trick-or-treating"?
