Met a bunch at IM CdA for swim practice.  Know a bunch IRL that I introduced to BT! And a bunch that I knew IRL (a little bit), knew on BT, and it took me a long time to connect the IRL triathlete and the BT one.  "Oh! you are XXX on BT. I am PGA MIKE!"

Cute! I have met several BTers IRL. OriolePwr and Mrs. OriolePwr hang out with us a lot (with and without races involved, yay)...DH is on the site but I found him pre BT .


And you lived a block away from a Bt'er for a couple of years

I sort of have a crush on nerdjock, not sure if that counts.

SprintDA (Dan) is the manager of my LBS/triathlon store so I have known him for several years. He's an awesome guy.

I know, I was thinking I forgot to mention that!!! And in random triathletes living on Honore news, Melissa Stockwell lives on the 1800 block now! She must think I'm a weirdo b/c I came up to her and started talking about all the races we did together (she has no idea who I am) and how big a fan I was. I am sure she was thinking I was some kind of stalker.

You should come over for a beer sometime...after the Marathon or something...

Yuppers Mrs. Quincyf and Mr. Quincyf are awesome buds! Thanks BT! Interesting thing is that i have some friends IRL that are on BT but We don't interact digitally at all. Then of course a bunch of BT peeps that even though i have never met them IRL I feel like they are good friends. Its highly interesting. Shout out to me and Q's magical tour trippers. Y'all are special people!

We have a good sized group of BTers that train and race together here in the Metro Detroit area.  I met my husband at a winter-training event hosted by fellow BTers.  And we'll have a baby BTer of our own in just a few short months!

I went to high school with Dan - he was a grade behind me and was good friends with one of my boyfriends :-) I realized it was him after being on BT for a little while - small world! (Neither of us were really near the town we went to HS in..)

Well said, Matt. (who I've met)[/QUOTE

 

Well said also Josh (who I've met). I have had the pleasure of meeting several BTers, mainly from the Maryland Forum at some social and Tri related events. I have also had the pleasure to meet THECLAAAW on two occassions. Below is a picture of us meeting up at the Chrissy Wellington book signing in Baltimore earlier this year.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many to count without leaving someone out. I, like Sue (who I've never met!) have been around for a long long time.

coredump and I got engaged at the finish line of IMWI in 2011, after meeting right here on BT waaaay back in 2004, and after we started dating in 2006:

We got married amongst a slew of BT'ers:

Kurt (outcast) Tony (mr2tony Goggs) Jen (jahnumbers) Haley (Comet)

Starting at the polkadots (jahnumbers, CrazyYeti, dumpstersmom, coredump, someone's eyebrows, me, Hollyslu, Gracia, outcast, Lazymarathoner, tealeaf, Amyjotris, Firstnet911, mr2tony)

So many of my (our) dear friends sprang from this website. I no longer find it odd that I met my husband and most of our circle of friends on the interwebs.

We've traveled hundreds of miles to visit and hang out with these people. We even flew across the ocean to visit Tony and Monica (with LazyMarathoner) in London. Kiss

Me and Tony in Trafalgar Square!

Have met too many BTers to list and keep in contact with lots of BTers!  In fact, today I chatted on the phone with 2 BTers and texted with another....none of who live in CA.  A few weeks ago I was at my local Whole Foods with an MDot hat on and a woman (also wearing Mdot gear) started chatting with me and then said "Are you on BT?"  I said "yes I am!"  She said "you are AbbieR!" LOL

 

BT is an amazing community!!!!

Start of the Finger Lakes tri a few years ago.  Yoshi is into it bad now along with me.  She is doing 4 sprints this year and dozen 5Ks and a mud run.  We drag Willie to volunteer to Musselman.  Besides that he like his video games.
