Bob ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() jkholden - 2009-06-11 8:46 AM Due to my work schedule I will be arriving in the area this evening(thursday), staying at the Hampton in Seaford. I will probably try to get into the water both Friday and Saturday. I need all the open water time I can get. The jelly fish report may have made my decision regarding full wetsuit or sleeveless. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet some of the other BTers. What jellyfish report? Did I miss something? |

![]() Terenzo Bozzone said on is Twitter page that he got all stung up. Yesterday it was the jellies killing him, then the day before it was the mosquitoes (mozzies). Poor Terenzo Edited by Dream Chaser 2009-06-11 8:25 AM |

Extreme Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK in all seriousness I may not race if a lot of Jellies. I am freaking allergic to them last year I got stung once and ended up messed up for a week. I will bring my Epi pen just in case but after racing Wisconsin and getting stung by a bee and using my Epi pen it is not pretty.. Jellies suck big time!!! Edited by jamesG 2009-06-11 8:27 AM |

![]() Just so y'all know, I'll be the guy wearing this at the swim start. I figured it was less menacing looking than my first choice...
I HATE JELLYFISH!! Edited by Dream Chaser 2009-06-11 8:31 AM |

I was swimming there last weekend and didn't see any jellies and it's rained plenty since then that I would be really surprised to see Jellyfish. We don't even have the comb jellies in the Severn yet. Check out this page: http://155.206.18.162/seanettles/ It looks like a 0-5% chance of getting stung. |

Pro![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() bachorb - 2009-06-11 9:33 AM So who's having a super-productive day at work????!!!!!! Working from home this morning then have to sit through a 3 hour seminar this afternoon. So far I have finished the laundry, gotten out my clothes to pack (we are spending the week after the race at the beach), and cleaned the bathrooms. So yes, I would have to say I am having a super productive day at work!

![]() bachorb - 2009-06-11 10:46 AM Does anyone know if I will be able to buy some Perpetuem at the race expo? My supply ran out this week and my bike shop doesn't have any right now so I am freaking out about where to get some! I have a brand new 4 pound tub, not even opened yet. I'm staying in Easton too. I pm'd you my cell phone the other day -- worst case I'll give you some |

This is my last workday until next Wednesday. (I took off Friday and Tuesday, and the office is closed on Monday for Flag Day.) I am still undecided if I am going to start the race. I think I am going to complete the swim and then stop. |

Expert![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() With all this talk about traffic on a bridge, I'm glad that I booked my hotel room the same day as I registered for the race. I'm at the Holiday Inn Express in Cambridge. |

On-call, will be delivering at least 4 babies, possibly more. So yes, I guess productive. Wow, that's cool. I wish I could say something like that! My biggest accomplishment of the day was finding the jellyfish-forecasting website to post on BT ![]() ![]() It's been so impossible to focus all week with EM floating around in the brain! |

Pro![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'll be at the Comfort Inn in Easton. I'll be traveling with some friends who are doing the Aqua Velo, but would love to meet up with some BT peeps! |

Extreme Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Nice job on the delivering 4 babies, Only thing I can think of as being more rewarding would be making 4 8-) |

Extreme Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Weather forecast update: There're no significant changes to the official forecast numbers: Temp at start 67 Temp at 2PM 79 (high for the day 80) Dewpoint 62 pretty much throughout winds NNE - NE 5-7 mph 20 % chance of rain throughout Slight chance of thunderstorms after 8AM Slight chance of rain throughout Partly to mostly cloudy skies Looks like water temp is still around 70. With the light winds forecast at present, waves are forecast to be 1ft or less. That all being said, the weather forecast models look a bit wetter during race day as in a better than 20% chance, but still not a constant pouring rain. Just looks a bit more hit and miss showers than what the official forecast is calling for. Still doesn't look bad for the race or after race. Will update tomorrow. |

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Days Inn in Cambridge and in the 7 AM 40-44 wave, so I will be getting passed by hundreds of people and passing very few. Be sure to wave when you blow by me.... Getting there Saturday afternoon and will be on jelly watch. That would suck! Any suggestions for food in Cambridge? I'm debating whether to just bring along some precooked pasta and nuke it for dinner. As for work, I just got through the 30+ messages on this post, so yeah, pretty damn productive! |
