Hey BT'ers!  Sounds like a couple/few people may meet up at Hawk Island in Lansing on Friday at 1.  Anyone who is interested to join is welcome. Layneh and timmrees are a couple of decent noobs (Nothing but love) who want to meet some BT'ers and get in a good workout. 

The water is open and warm, the paths are paved for 1.5 miles around the park and the roads around the area are ok right now.  I'd suggest the HI Tri route for a bike (10 miles).

Post here if you want to meet up.

Also, I'll be getting off work Friday at 0700 and plan to run a 7-10 miler from MSU campus.  I'd welcome any company.  Shorter distances are optional if I have several people who want to join, but not for 7 miles. 

Lastly, I know a few people who are doing a century around Torch Lake this Sunday.  I'm interested, but need a travel buddy and maybe a sleeping partner.  Let's hook up.

Thanks for putting this up, Timm and I were just talking about putting something up on here. Hope some people can make it, even if it is the middle of the day.

I'm also interested in doing the RAT and would love to carpool. When were you planning on leaving?

That would be a great option.  I'll PM you my phone number.  I'll be with another person, so and potentially another, so it would probably be better to get a room.

Mike, I'll be riding up with another BT'er.  We're not so sure how we'll fit 2 bikes in her car.  But at minimum you're welcome to meet up and travel with us.  I'd be game for splitting hotel costs as many ways as possible - and it'll be good to see some plaid there too.

If there are any other heading up to RAT from the Lansing area speak up.  Maybe a RAT thread?

Jeremy, I'm like 99% set to meet you all at 1 on Friday.  Time to work on your swim confidence!  I'll know for sure tomorrow and will post at that time.

Sounds like a plan to me.  I'll have to leave no later than 2:30p to pick up my girls from school.  So I will probably only do a swim / run.  I'm not sure I'll be bringing my bike to Hawk Island.  I don't know.  I'll be running earlier in the am too.  I'll have to decide whether or not to go home and pick up my bike.  I'm too indecisive.

Craig if the time is an issue, I'll be available earlier too.

OK, I'm bringing my bike, it's loaded in the car now (as I work 24 hrs tomorrow).

My focus will be the swim, assuming Craig can help me learn to float better.  But dependent on time, I'll run/bike too.

Ok, enough post padding for me.

Jeremy, I'm full go for 1pm as well now.  If you want to meet an hour earlier for some extra swim time I can do that as well.  Just post up when you want me there. I'll check it mid morning for the final time.

I'll be there around 12:00.  Jeremy told me he would try to get there a little earlier to help me fit my bike.  (I'm n00b.  Give me a break.  )

I'm still just plain worried about embarrassing myself.  I'm still a good 40 pounds overweight and not exactly a triathlete yet.  This should be interesting for me.

No worries, Timm, this site is called BEGINNER Triathlete.  We've all embarrassed ourselves at some point doing this.  In fact, consider it a stepping stone to becoming a pro

Just wanted to say thanks to JHagerman, Layneh and craigweaver for putting up with me.  I had a great time actually training with other BTers.  I'm actually out at Hawk Island quite often during the week, (mid-day) so if anyone wants to meet out there again, I'm certainly down.  Next time I'll be able to keep at least a little closer to pace.

I wish I was paying attention earlier today.  I was out there this afternoon.  Anyway, I'm going out again on Wednesday around 12:30 PM if you're interested.  (weather permitting)
