Subject: When you meet BT'ers in real life...So, at my race on Saturday, Peachtree City Tri, Karl (motivated) came and found me as I was setting up. We had some chit-chat, and then he left. I've met him before, he was trying to look for other BT'ers too. Went to swim start, did a warmup, and was waiting for the start. I was with my swim cap color group and 2 guys in front of me were talking about a race in Florida. I happen to be doing Great Floridian too, so I ask one of the guys where he is staying, etc. I think one of them looks familiar, so I then introduce myself, "Hi, I'm Haley." One responds "I'm James, nice to meet youuuuu....wait....did you say, haley, as in...?!" I said yes, and the look of recognition comes across his face, followed by shock...don't know why, but the look was CLASSIC, and I started laughing. Priceless. Maybe he was shocked I wasn't drinking or in a diaper or something. Who knows. It was nice to meet you too James. Anyone else have a funny story about meeting your "friends" in real life? |
