Where are you staying? When are you going? We will be in the scummy but cheap Travelodge on Front Beach Road (not on the beach) one mile from the host hotel. Thursday through Sunday. Don't forget you have to check in Thursday- you can't on Friday. (That was a last minute surprise for us last year!)

OMG - a whole thread just for me!! You gals are going to give me a big head! I might think I could win this thing. LOL!

Yep, I'm 2274! Its going to be my new favorite number at least till next Sunday night! I'm heading down to the bike shop to send off Malibu Barbie today... I'm a little nervous, but I know she will be in good hands till I can pick her up next week. This taper thing is... well, the taper is a PAIN! I have way too much time on my hands to imagine every little thing that I might forget, but I guess with all those tri people down there, I'm sure if I forget something, I can beg, borrow or steal!!

Nanci - we're staying at the Boardwalk Beach Resort. We get in on Wednesday afternoon, and I'm going to register on Thursday. Is your BF excited??? Is this his first?? I'll send you a PM with my cell number, give me a call, I'd love to meet you and your BF in person!

And, let me take this opportunity to tell you that RM rocks, too!! She joined me on my last six hour ride and if it weren't for her, I am sure I woudn't have even started that ride! It was dark, rainy and way, way out in the middle of nowhere!! Thanks, girlfriend, I really appreciate it...

Good luck everyone! Your accomplishment is amazing.

It's his third iron distance race- Great Floridian in 2004, IM Florida 2005. He's in the Kona lottery- so, what is that, four years and then you get to go?
