so lookin like we are staying at the holiday inn express in chanhassen................probably be arriving into town at about 3 pm on friday the 18th............anyone interested in joining myself, my wife and son and my inlaws at a local eatery on friday evening?

Is it getting that close to the race all ready.  I think I still have your number so I'll give you a buzz closer to the time but I might have to come see you again before the race.  Minnetonka really encourages picking up packets the day before so might have to make a trip of it.  You been on the MOO course yet this year?

because of what happened last year brian, i live on that moo course mentally now until after moo 2011.  im sure you understand!!!  and yes, do make a trip of it.  and that goes for all you other gophers out there..........after minnesota is home of...................brock lesnar, tho only true athlete from your state!!! 

not to stay off topic but actually I think brock is from south dakota, he wrestled for the U but isn't technically from here.

We should at a min find a place to met up before or after the race.  preferably before as I don't think many of you will want to wait for us slow pokes to finish!
it would be nice to atleast say hi and put some faces with the names.

I sent an e-mail to the RD to volunteer, but if I don't hear from them I decided to come and watch for sure.  I'd like to do this race next year and the short bike ride from my house is perfect for the training plan

Is there a particular area that would be nice to have a spectator?   I don't mind parking it on the bike course somewhere, if there's a nasty hill or boring spot.  Let me know if you have any ideas... 

Thanks Jared!  If the bike course is generally cheerless, I will try to be out there for a bit.  I know that helps a lot to have a random cheerer.

Bringing up about 5-10 copies of The Distance, A Triathlete's Journey to sell.  Price is $20 per copy.  Also still wondering if anyone wants to meet up for some dinner, or some good ideas for dinner for that matter, near the holiday inn express in chanhassen............

uber excited that its race week!!!!!

done deal eishowers!!!!

Looking forward to seeing people at the race on Saturday.  If you don't know me I'll be the only guy there wearing a jersy with a pig face on the front and back.  Divine Swine catering racing team.  Stop by and say hello.  I'm really looking forward to this race.  Back in 2006 this was my first race ever and I was hooked, have not been back to this one since so looking forward to the comparisons.

um, you are suppose to be rockin' the donk mister!!  tomorrow (friday) is travel day and looking like we are eating at ruby tuesday in minnetonka.  see you all at the race, i'll be the one with a donkey on the front and a carrot on the back!

Yea I don't know what the heck is wrong with you people from Wisconsin.  I pulled out my XL TriDonkai jersey and it didn't even cover up the crater I call my belly button.  No way am I ready for that kind of coverage yet.  Besides, if I wear the swine we'll look like a little zoo.  

I'm going to head up and pick up my packet around 3:30 and then see if I can't catch you at Ruby Tuesday before making the trek south through rush hour.

Thanks for volunteering today.  The wind made for an interesting day.

Bummer.  Hope you are feeling much better today.
