This is the first time (in my limited experience) I have seen that. Very fun! I will get my packet today in Coon Rapids so I'll look forward to seeing that! |

This is the first time (in my limited experience) I have seen that. I know! This is the first race with a name on the race number for me too. Cool. |

Master 2346 Dayton, Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: MinneMan Triathlon teachertrek - 2007-06-28 7:19 PM Just picked up my very first tri race packet. I'm getting excited. I was impressed at how well organized it was picking things up at Penn Cycle. LOL You must not have been there right at 3:00. Note to people who are getting their packets today--If you are supposed to be in the wave with gold caps (females 14-34, not novice), the caps are actually midnight blue. |
It was a little, um, chaotic at first. | 2007-06-29 8:59 AM in reply to: #838056 |
Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: MinneMan Triathlon I just checked the weather on two different sites for tommorow. The general consensus is....67 degrees and sunny during race time with a 4 m.p.h. southerly wind. Someone couldn't have scripted better weather for this race. I'm thinking were going to see a lot of p.r.'s tommorow and a lot of really happy first timers. |

| Expert 638 | Subject: RE: MinneMan Triathlon Good luck, everyone. I couldn't be more jealous. It is going to be a PERFECT day for a Tri tomorrow. Love this weather. By the time I tried to sign up, waiting list was over 100 long and now we've made other plans. But I'll be looking for the race reports! |

Extreme Veteran 506 Twin Cities, MN | Subject: RE: MinneMan Triathlon It was such fun seeing everyone today! We certainly did BT proud (And yes, I was the one who left the sign at home - it's just not on my pre-race checklist, I guess! Sorry!) |

Veteran 269 Greensboro, NC | Subject: RE: MinneMan Triathlon Which race are you doing in August, Autumn? it was great to see who I saw at the race. I'm definitely sore, but so incredibly happy. I was hoping to be a little faster, but with the goggle issues I was having, I'm happy with how I did. Yay!!! What races are folks doing next? I have Danskin Chicagoland next week, then nothing set in stone until September for the IronGirl Duathlon in bloomington. |

Member 164 Minneapolis | Subject: RE: MinneMan Triathlon Hey team: It was great to see everyone today. My time was not what I wanted (second to last on the whole course) but the support was too much to comprehend. I am still not sure I am processing it. between the BT group and the YWCA staff I can not tell you how I feel (loved mostly). I was going to come over for ice cream at cold stone but after noddles and company with my mom and husband, it was time for a nap. I was an amazing day that I am glad I do not have to do again for while. My next races: 7-14 Charities Challenge at Lake Como, 7-21 YWCA Sympathy Swim for Chanel Swim( think about doing it swim for up to 5 hours, talk about endurance) (( wow they really have us trained at the YWCA to sell our agency!!!!)). 8-5 The sporting life 5k lake Calhoun (run) 8-18 Boston Scientific 10k lake Nokomis (run) 9-9 St. Paul Classic (bike 15 mile route)- belly pending (I am 7 weeks pregnant this was my babies for tri!) 9-22 Bolder Dash Lake Nokomis 5 or 10k belly pending 10-6 TCM 5k with YWCA youth alot in one post. take aways:" great race, love to connect with more BT peeps at upcoming events. Quiana Big girl Tri-ing!! |

Champion 10018 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: MinneMan Triathlon I had a great time today. Thanks everyone for being so supportive for my first "real" tri. Sorry I couldn't chat with you more, I need to stop inviting parents and other peripheral folks to these events and just enjoy the after events. Everyone did great! It's was fun to see everyone. My next schedule race is the IronGirl Du in September, but planning on the Tour de Tonka (65) and probably one more tri. I think I will stick with sprints this year and then spend a lot of time in the pool this winter to prepare for an oly Edited by BikerGrrrl 2007-06-30 9:25 PM |

Veteran 197 Circle Pines, MN | Subject: RE: MinneMan Triathlon I had a good time seeing different people. I saw some BT people. I also saw one of my son's old school teachers, and a service tech for our phone system at work, and just other people that I have met from other Tri's. Good luck to everyone the rest of the season. My next event will be the Chisago sprint. Lance |
