I think I am staying with friends there, but I am considering a hotel for Saturday night.  Still very undecided.  But the festivities will happen post race.  I can't celebrate on my birthday the day before, so I must catch up the day of the race!!!

Fun will be had!

I am not showing now, because you hurt my feelings!

Maybe you're just glad someone is now joining your age group!!!

I am in for an early  evening dinner....somewhere around 5ish??  I am not picky on my prerace food...just need some good grub!

you know we love you lane!!!

 you are right! I hate being the old lady of the group but then it is my excuse why I am so dang slow (that and the little legs...see i figure my legs hit the ground 2x as much as like Trigods so really you are all running a 10k and for my legs it is like a 20K...

Dang is this all we got. You two old farts bantering back and forth...

Sad, sad

ok at least tell me what you all want to eat..I am dealing with all men here aren't I ???

geez.

OK, there are a bunch to choose from depending what you want and how far to go. They have a Carabbas (pretty good italian chain) we won't even mention olive garden, that is fake. There is longhorn steakhouse...there is little italian place right there called 'mom's italian'...

so a) italian, steak, BBQ or whatever this hot tri chick wants to book us for? b) who is in? If I get a head count I will be able to make reservations especially if we are over 10...

looks like the two old farts are in, and little man chris (cbost) is in...who else? Dinner at 5 pm Saturday night.

Another good place is the Big River Brewery...but the pasta on the menu may be limited.  It is located Downtown too so it should be easy to get to after the expo.  If we want pasta, then Carraba's sounds good.

If you guys want to bring money and put in a beer order. I am having my friend Melissa and her brother (he lives there) jockstrap for us BTErs (and baby sit my son Parker..lol). They will bring a few big coolers and we can give them money Saturday night and they can have the beer ice cold in a cooler for us at the finish.

Lane I will buy a six pack for you for your birthday, so you are covered....

My two favorite kinds....

1.  Free
2.  Cold

Corona light with some cut fresh limes please uh, I am kidding about the lime, I could get my own, freeze and cut them and stick them in a baggie and give them to her if she joins us for dinner if I really want them. Or Michelob Ultra is they don't have Coronas

Chris, are you, Parker and Melissa joining us for sat. night dinner?

When is everyone getting to town???  Are we just going to meet at the packet pick up on Saturday??

I am driving out Friday morning, should get to Chattanooga by mid-afternoon.

geeze I am so afraid to reply to you Lane, everyone is going to give us **** again for the old farts replying...

I think I am driving down saturday with Chris (cbost) and hoping to do expo mid day. We have to check in the room before our 5 pm dinner...I would think right chris? do you all want to shoot for an expo meet time at 2 or 3?

Chris (bost)

I think we call Lane when we get to town and see where he is...and I left my cell phone for the other folks on here to call us if they want to join us at pick up or dinner...

and either the other chris can call us when he gets to town or we call him...I am not sure if he is going just with Parker yet or Melissa too or if he wants to ride with us but figured unless he says something, he will just call us then too.

I thought the race was great today. Had a ton of fun. I looked for BT'ers but didn't see any. I was on WAY too tight of a schedule though.

Anyone else think it was hot out there? I'm pretty sure those were the hottest race (tri)conditions yet for me.

Hope everyone had a great time.
