Ironman Florida

Bib numbers are SUPPOSED to be posted today which means they will probably be posted monday.  I'm in and I am sure Brittany and Janice will come along.  Not sure on teh rents I'll let you know......I will bring crack cookies if I can find them  

Just found out the "official" big BT dinner is on Thursday. 

I'm still gonna open up the invite for Friday, but let's all do the Thursday one either way.

Here's the link to the Thursday dinner...

I wont be in town untill the volunteers meeting on Fri so I would love for there to be a Fri. dinner.  By the way, as I am working the medical tent, I hope I don't see any of you while I am volunteering at the race.  I will be there for the morning start to cheer you all on.

Cool...yeah we still have to eat dinner on Friday no matter what, so we will have the food.  If you wish to bring something to share, please do.  Otherwise, I'm gonna make Jess's famous salted potatoes (these are to DIE for!!), pasta, garlic bread (see IMAZ 08 youtube video!! LOL), and salad.  We'll have some protein too...probably some grilled chicken. 

I will post the location soon...

super excited as well! It's my first IM...im a bit freakin out about the swim start, but its super mega exciting....

well more like 99% scared 1% excited!!! hahaha 

I parked not too far away last year with no problems.  Traffic control is pretty good on race morning.  I've never had problems parking at an Ironman, they do pretty well.

I'm FINALLY excited.  Guess it's about time huh?  I'm just really looking forward to having a great weekend with friends, meeting BTers I've not met before, and having fun racing. 

ARE YOU READY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEE????

WOOOOOOOOOOOO....Ok, so I'm a wee bit excited today.  Maybe it's cuz I'm gonna be on vacation in 2 short days.  Maybe it's cuz I'm gonna do my first IM.  Maybe it's cuz I've had too much caffeine this morning AND shot a bunch of guns this afternoon.  Who cares!! LET'S PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Sherri!  OK, good question.  Dinner will probably be after the volly meeting.  A bunch of the people (including my other half) have to be at the meeting anyway, so unless we had dinner VERY early (not advisable), we'd be all messed up.  So I'm gonna say, just come after the meeting...and we'll have dinner ready.  You probably know best what time it ends, being the volunteer Goddess!!  I'm thinking about 630pm?  

SHORES OF PANAMA CONDOS
Not sure which unit yet, but we'll have a sign out front that says BT DINNER UNIT ___ and you can just come on up.

Or...call me on my cell.  813.732.0126
I'll let you know where we are.

We will have spaghetti, sauce, cheese, garlic bread, salad, etc.  Bring whatever you'd like to add, or nothing at all...we will have everything we need for the dinner. 

We'll make it a quick dinner so everyone can get home and rest for the big day!!

Always room for one more!!

We have SIX POUNDS OF PASTA!!!  Please come eat it!!

We'll be there so just come whenever the meeting's over and we'll eat until it's time to go back to our respective places to sleep.
