We are going to be at the Chart House Suites (~ 1 mile east of Pier 60).  We got a penthouse suite (1800 sq ft) for a lot of peeps.  That's where the before and after party will be.

Bryan, I expect you and the boss (wifey) to show up.

You know it Dan! But Jamie has to hold down the fort, so I will be brining multiple Ironman finisher and previous Ironman World Record holder Joni Van der Veen...my Mom. She's my sherpa for the week!

I'm staying with Dan, arriving Thursday sometime.

I hope the weather predictions stay perfect in Clearwater! Right now, the forecast has a high of 80 and sunny every day for the next 10 days....Nice!

You just knew that i was going to beat you, so you got cold feet and decided not to show up. That's too bad, Jim, because now you're just going to have to endure another BT-house get together where I can commence the smack-talk and subsequent beatings on the race course.

They changed the start times around, didn't they?

Last year, I started in one of the first waves. Maybe having the fast folks start first will help alleviate drafting?

I heard that you slipped the RD $20 to switch it around because you knew I would catch you and beat you to the finish line.  I knew you were scared...but Damn!

Bryan,

I'm not even going to lie, if I see you: you had better come by me wide.  Cause I WILL push you down or trip you!  I'm just warning you.  And you had better keep sprinting because I'll tackle you too.

Oh, you're thinking about me going by on the run.....I think she might have something to say on that....Beware the "thwak,thwak,thwak" sound sneaking up on you..

Yep, set her up today as Tri-Bike Transport needs me to drop her off tomorrow. I'm boring a road bike to get in a few last rides.
Do you hear that? That quiet whimpering sound? That would be men in the 40-44 AG going to Clearwater...

You caught me!

No, I just wanted to make the race more challenging for myself- so now I've gotta catch you! Then I get to stay at the penthouse for free, drinks provided, right?
