Champion  15211   Southern Chicago Suburbs, IL |  Subject: RE: Shamrock Shuffle - 8K : Official Threadmr2tony - 2009-03-26 11:07 AM We need to start formulating a plan for Sunday. As in `WHERE THE F ARE WE MEETING!?' I vote we just straggle over to Bar L one at a time. Meeting up after that race is such a pain! Oh and I'll be working the Team in Training booth at the expo from 2-6p on Saturday, so come over and say hi. I'll be the short dorky looking dude with the brown hair and the eyes and nose and mouth and such. Agreed. Bar Louie. So what time are you shooting for in the race?

Expert 675 Woodridge, IL | Subject: RE: Shamrock Shuffle - 8K : Official Thread Can I be a stupid suburbanite and ask which Bar Louie? Is it the one on Chicago? Also, if the race starts at 9:30, will it be open by the time we finish? |

Welp ... lessee ... maybe a 37 or 38 or so. Whatever -- I just don't wanna hurt myself before IMNO in a week. Bar Louie is on Polk and Dearborn in the old Dearborn Station. Just walk west to State then to Polk (south of the Van Buren el tracks) and west to Dearborn. It has a big clock tower that says `Dearborn Station' on it. Hard to miss. |

Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: Shamrock Shuffle - 8K : Official Thread Great. I may have to go to Fargo to cover the floods. Just frickin' great. I find out tomorrow if I'm going or not. Just what I want, to go to Fargo, miss the race and get all jet-lagged and stiff the week before an HIM. |

A bunch of wussies stayed home I guess. This wussie stayed home...being that I am still coughing up chunks, sorry to be grosse, I thought it best to bag this one. Getting over the flu, and I just don't want to be sick for the next however many days. I've got triathlon training to do afterall!! Good job to those who braved the elements! |

Extreme Veteran 336 Chicago | Subject: RE: Shamrock Shuffle - 8K : Official Thread I loved the conditions. I did miss my goal time by 20 seconds which I blame on the extra water weight in my shoes  |

Expert 675 Woodridge, IL | Subject: RE: Shamrock Shuffle - 8K : Official Thread The waiting was the worst part - once I got running I felt fine! lol I think if people didn't even show up for the shuffle this morning (with the exception of the infirm), they should have to send back the shirt. I am slow but given the conditions I think I did pretty well (for me)... 57 mins

Champion 5495 Whizzzzzlandia Silver member | Subject: RE: Shamrock Shuffle - 8K : Official Thread We weren't about to drive all the way to Chicago in that unplowed crap!!! The race itself would have been fun, but the drive all the way there and all the way back for a 5 mile race wouldn't have been worth it. Looks like you guys had fun, though. (!!!)

Did you all meet at Bar Louie after? I was cold and miserable so I bailed after the race. I needed a hot shower and dry clothes more than anything! |
