Floyd Landis in Tulsa

Just got back to work after going to the Tulsa Tough kickoff press conference, and the presentation Floyd gave on his hip resurfacing procedure. Both were great. I was actually nervous before getting to meet him, but after listening to him (and all of us laughing with him telling some Zabriskie and French Helmet-Protester stories) I was way more at ease. He actually seemed more nervous to be in front of us...to tell ya the truth.

He signed my Positively False copy and I got a picture with him.
LOL I'm almost 40 and I think I officially have a crush. Haha

Great day and GREAT kickoff for my Tulsa Tough weekend.I'll share the pic when it makes it's way back to me. :-)

Very cool!!!! If I didn't have my weekend festivus of triathlons in El Reno, I'd certainly be in T-town for some Tulsa Tough.
Floyd seems like a really down to earth, almost shy guy. I'll bet you were kinda "star struck" when you met him, huh?
Have a GREAT time this weekend. We demand pictures when you get some.

Sounds great, Tulsa. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and good luck with your rides!

Hide the alcohol :rolleyes:

I've *heard* he likes to indulge.

Okay.. is it me, or is he small, or am I that big? Maybe I should have worn flats... (ps...work clothes...didn't dress up for the thing - I promise) :P

Well.. we'd have to hide it from a LOT of cyclists.. You should see the can/bottle carnage after a general Wednesday Night club ride!! LOL

Whoever came up with this shirt for Tulsa Tough is very clever... LOL

Had to have one. :P Funny as H###.

Cool pic of you and Floyd. I think all those pro racers are just teeny little men. :)
The t-shirt is funny.:D

Question for BabyBlue in Tulsa.......

What do you suggest I wear for the ride Saturday morning. The weather says that it will be low 60's when we start at 8am but the day is going to reach 90. I had planned on wearing a sleeveless jersey (hate tan lines) and just my shorts but am now wondering if I need to wear a short sleeved jersey and my knee warmers. I hate to wear more than needed and just have to find somewhere to put it later when I take it off but at the same time I don't want to freeze.

Oh, and btw I am only doing the 50k so I should be done by 10:30 which will be way before the 85-90 weather sets in.

What are your thoughts?

Hi Beth! I'm certain you'll do just fine with a short sleeve jersey, but since you are concerned about tan lines, how about a sleeveless but use arm warmers untill you get comfy with the temps?

You'll warm up quickly though, so unless you get chills easily, you're prob ok without warmers. There is a hill in the first 5 miles that'll get you warmed up from the get-go. :-)
