EagleMan Ironman 70.3 Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 2)

I'm definitely in for the race but there are a couple quiet BTers who are lookin' to smoke this thing. I'll put my money on Pat O'keeffe for the fastest BTer. He will probably be getting out of the water in the 22:00 range and has a goal of sub 4:10. He went a 4:14 at Clearwater.

I'm just hoping Rick has the decency to say hello as he flies by me on the bike. I know I will when I pass him back on the run.

As for Fred, BRING IT ON!!!!

Just remember to tie your shorts Rick!

I'm in for this race.  I won't be the fastest anything.  I'm shooting to redeem myself on a half Ironman run performance last year (different race) because I was injured. 

PennState - 2008-12-24 8:35 AM .... and if you do it you will get to see me put 'the hurt' on Rick

So I guess you plan on running into the back of me while I am resting after crossing the line ahead of you?  That's not very sportsmanlike.

As for hotels, trying looking at Denton, MD when you search on Hotels.com or even in Seaford, DE.  Both of those areas are about 40 minutes away driving time and will still sometimes be open for space.  Looking in Easton or Salisbury will usually result in nothing.

I stay out in Bethany Beach near the ocean, so it is a bit of a hike, but has worked for me the last two years, and since it is my Aunt-in-law's place, it is free!

lesleyann - 2008-12-24 5:23 PM Thanks so much! That is exactly were i was looking: Easton and Salisbury. Will try your suggestion. Hope I find something so I can meet you guys. NO i won't be able to SEE you guys beat up on each other because i will be way behind you. lesley

So, you'll be in the back with me!  We should start BOP smack-talking, like who is most likely to come in last.  :-)

Hey!! No one in my mentor group talks about coming in last! (Unless there is a smile on the face as you cross the finish line that is!)

There will definitely be a smile.  From the sounds of it, I might just be starting my run when some of you guys are finishing the entire race.

I'll be BOP with you girls as well.  And Barb, I was at mile 2 or so when Penn State was at mile 11 at a race, so your statement is pretty right on for me!

No worries finding a place.....we're all crashing with Daremo at Bethany Beach, he's going to be the cabana boy.

Can you please post pics of Rick as a cabana boy in a banana hammock!!

Shall Rick put his money where his mouth is?  How bout if Rick doesn't have the fastest bike & run split at Eagleman, he races his next race in a banana hammock.  The entire race.   How's the untouchable Rick feeling bout that bike and run split now?!!!   Bring it boys!

Oh, this is getting interesting!! I am sure we can find a leopard print speedo for Rick!

Just like this except a little more speedo like....
