tjfry - 2011-05-22 12:40 AM The run was crazy hot and humid. I almost dropped out at mile 1. Never seen so many people walking (including pros) ever. Sufferfest out there but the crowds were really big which helped a lot. Thanks for all the kinds words! Projected slots were 11 a week ago, so I need to look up actual to see if I'm heading to kona.Got to meet a lot of BT'ers Thursday at the dinner. Good fun. Go BT'ers !

Soooooo, are you in for Kona?

 

It's KONA BABY!

 

Awesome!!  Congratulations!!

Congrats to all the finishers and great job to the volunteers!

I was all over the course spectating yesterday.  Cheered so much that I lost my voice!  I didn't have any way of recognizing the BTers out there, but I was the guy in the red/white doing all the cheering right before the special needs bags on the run (mile 8/17/25).  A LOT of carnage out there!

Wish I'd known you were out there.  We sat right across the street there for quite awhile.

Congratulations TJ! Not sure if you remember but I saw you right outside of T2, I was helping in the women's tent but it was quiet when you came through, we were kind of loitering outside checking on the guys. I said "Go Swim Shops, Go TJ" as you were leaving on the run! Yay for you!

Congrats to all finishers!  I was out there all day spectating and volunteering as well.  Saw TJ get out of the water (congrats on Kona!), heard several other BTer's names called out of the water, saw Marci while working the aid station.  It was a hot, humid day and like someone else said - I don't think I've seen so many people walking.   I worked aid station #4 from 6:30 on and it seemed like EVERYONE walked through the aid station.  One lady even stopped to pat a dog.  Some people looked very dazed an confused.  Everyone was soaked from sweat and dumping water on themselves.  To finish in those conditions is something to be proud of.

I think he tweeted that he had an injury that flared up.

From what I read Lieto had an achilles tendon problem that flared up. 

 

This was my husbands first IM and he is now and IRONMAN! A huge shout out to the amazing volunteers out there.  I was at special needs bag area cheering for hours! My friends and I went home without voices and with sore hands!! All the athletes were amazing.  That course had a lot of carnage, and was super tough so all those who were out there are awesome in my book. 

 

Now I know I have to do a full I'm just not sure which one yet. 

 

Congrats to all that were out there you were all amazing and I was cheering for you all!

Bummer. I've been on this site since 2005 and have never gotten the melon press. I thought Kona would get me one. Guess I will need to qualify for the galaxyman or somethin!

 

Thanks everyone for the support! Hopefully the third time is the charm. I seem to be snakebit over there on alii drive.
