Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 79)

Y'know, if you're going to trade wetsuits with someone, you're supposed to walk off with the BETTER one, not pick up my not-as-good one and leave me a good one

Too bad it'd be a touch small for me.

Ugh! Missed everyone this morning. Got there early and asked around. Didn't find any BTers. Said heck with it, went for a short swim. When I finished I saw you guys just finishing the picture. Tomorrow...Is there any special meeting spot or anything for the dinner tonight? Also do you need to get there right at 5:30? Can't imagine this being a 2 hour dinner. Duane

Our crew is swimming from Shores of Panama tommorw. Just something short, not sure of the time, kinda wanna sleep in tomorrow but if you are up for it PM me and I will be in touch. I too was wondering what time we should get to the dinner, also is anyone up for meeting in a spot beforehand so we can get tables together?

You set me up, I'm stealing mine back tomorrow

DINNER question.... i only did the mandatory athlete mtg back in 2008... so a bit clueless... i had purchased an extra ticket for my BF...but am "iffy" about what they may serve ..(trying to avoid the whole pasta/chicken thing before tmrw.. I eat Paleo)...does anyone know what they ahve served in the past? .. we might opt to hit a seafood restaurant and get my fish and veggie fix in before i go low fiber tmrw nite.. ..and i am assuming...that we jsut bring our receipt from our purcase of an extra tix with us?

went to swim..but there were so many people there..can't tell whose BT'ers or not... so good luck everyone with the race!

Went for a spin this afternoon....in the washing machine....  I really hope the wind dies down before Sat so the swim isn't a constant up and down pounding. I should have gone out there this morning before it kicked up but I wanted to run and drive the bike course first.

Swim was fun this morning. Thanks! We are eating at pineapple Wileys first then coming to the dinner. Dottie has family that got here last night. Went to the merchant tent and waited in line for over an hour so we missed the lunch.

How about this group of ruffians?

Okay, I am just going to put it out there... How about 5:15 in the lobby, so we can sit together? And to answer the Paleo question, it probably IS pasta and chicken, so you might think about a place afterward. Since we didn't do BT shirts this year, I will be the bald guy standing around in jeans and a long sleeve white shirt that says Cardiac Ironman on the front and a bunch of red text on the back. There - now you all have a target to find. See you there!

what an awesome crew!

Getting down to the wire for dinner.  Anyone interested in meeting somewhere first or have a spot they know for folks to try and meet up at in the room?  I'd love to put faces to the names of all you folks who have been giving great advice for the past 3 years...

515 sounds good....

515 is it! I will be in a pink running skirt and green top

So who will be towing me through this surf? I sure hope weather.com is correct in guessing the wind will shift by race time from NE at 7mph. Right now it is saying 16mph out of SW. I will be having a long, long swim in these conditions.

5:15 for dinner, lobby.  So it is said, so it is done.

NE wind with calm water..it will be here for us Saturday...no towin needed.

This pic is not fair. I am far left blocked by halpint. All you see is my shoulders. I vote for a new pic yo

Looks like it was a great swim. I'm sorry I missed it.

I think the pic looks great!!!

Pick a pic. I'll see about making it 700X120.

I seriously hope you are correct! To all of you veterans out there: Are all of the welcome dinners that completely chaotic? I felt like I was in the mass swim start just trying to get a seat; which I never did.
