Paper Discovery duathlon : Official Thread (Page 2)

This is my first du... no, first ANY-athon.  Totally looking forward to it and mostly just crossing my fingers that I can find my bike after the first part.  
Stacey Nash, 32, red "vintage" trek and no idea what I'm wearing yet!  It's supposed to be really nice though - who-hoo!  I'll be the one walking around looking confused   (well, that's a normal look but this will be an extra special confused look)

Dave Niles. M25-29. I'll be riding a blue cervelo dual, and i'll be wearing the same junk my avatar has on.

Dave Martin,

Riding a gray mountain bike with a red fork, towing a giant kiddo trailer (I'm not racing). I'll be wearing a black t-shirt with a Fox logo on the front and Fox Cities Tri Club logo on the back.

I'll have my 2.5yo old little girl named Izzy who will be ringing a cow bell.

Pam! You are a brain child! Great idea.
Sarah Paterson, 45-49 (looks like I'll be in good company ); Jamis bike-blue road bike with aeros clipped on with duct tape holding on my bike computer (yeah, classy and profession eh?)... not sure what I'll be wearing...watchin' the weather.

Now how could anyone not notice a cute little toddler ringing a cowbell! Awww!

David=== you are really coming from Washington?!?!?! Do you have family here or has it been your dream to compete in Wisconsin

well hopefully if she does so on this race, it put her into Lake Winnebago...thus offering a cushion

The chances of that happening are relatively high.  I should probably bring along my floaties.

duct tape is good....!

Do any Madisonianites going to the race have room for me in their car for the race? Oh yeah I have a bike too. I live by Trader Joe's on west side.

It's crunch time at school so somehow I am in the middle of my second consecutive all-nighter--on a Friday night! And my car has a flat tire. With luck I'll get to sleep at 6 or 7 am, but I don't think it's humanly possible for me to wake up Saturday before the tire places close, so I'm starting to get worried about my transportation situation.

Alternatively are there any tire places that are open late? Like...till 9 on a Saturday.

Okay nevermind, I managed to get the tire fixed this morning -- but at a cost of 4 hours of potential sleep! Now I have to choose between sleep and the Bulls game, and I'm hoping to go with the Bulls. I'm going to be one slow dude tomorrow.

Great race, nice scenery on the run! Well organized. My race report is up! (and it didn't take me a week to do it!0
Bummed that I did not see Sarah (bbmoozer), GracefulDave, BigRacer. DID see, and warm up with the other Sarah (lunatick); Dave Niles (skayvoovie) ;and Wayne Arner (vic1365). (funny story there, I was looking at my 'list" of BTers to try to find, and was reading it to Sarah, when Wayne, said "thats me" He was racked right by me! (kind of funny look on his face when I said his name, till I told him who I was...he then said "BTer?".

Nice meeting the couple of you that I did not previously know! (only knew the 2 Sarahs).

Did I yell "Wake up Dave!" to you towards the end of the first run, or did I really confuse someone who looked like you?

Sorry I missed most everyone, I got there at as the first runners were finishing the first run. Stayed through most of the finishers but had to get the kiddo home to eat lunch and take a nap. What a beautiful day for a race.
