Oh and I signed up for the prerace dinner since I'm not even sure if there's a restaurant within 20 miles. |

Can't carry much but I'm sure he'd be delighted to ring his cowbell for you!! I think we're going to do the dinner too. |

I'm thinking we will be leaving around 10 am here in Memphis. No family coming with me either. Just a few friends that are racing too. I'm not sure what the plan is for dinner. I wish I had a BT tattoo. Hopefully I will meet most of you.

Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: Great Illini Half-Iron Distance Triathlon Yeah sorry I missed everybody. I tried to talk to a lot of people. I got laughs out of some and hate out of others. Good day, though. My RR is up. |

Member 11 Nicholasville, Kentucky | Subject: RE: Great Illini Half-Iron Distance Triathlon Hey guys, I noticed you did this race this year, I am planning on making this my first half ironman in 2009, you got any suggestions about where to stay? Where to eat? How was the swim? Bike? Run? Would this be a good first half iron.
Thanks, Kevin |

Thanks, Kevin It was a good race. I slept in my car. Not the wisest choice since I woke up every few minutes from discomfort or a passing car or something. Oh well. Swim is great. Bike is kinda rough as the roads are rural, the wind sucked but that varies year to year I'm sure, and the run is through corn fields. But it's on time, has good support, no finisher's medal that I can recall. Nice T shirt though. No crowd support since there's no crowd. If you need crowds to keep you going then don't do it. My 2 cents: I'd say it's a great experience overall and you should do it. |
