Waiting for Danskin Tri Registration

[salsabike]

I feel like that rat.

squeak squeak...already bonkers here...

I spose it's bedtime. I will say that I CAN and WILL check this beastie whilst at work next week. I will, in fact, leave it up and will refresh it often during my work day.

I guess my question would be, how can we train for this if we're consistently paranoid about leaving the computer?!

I'm gonna focus on this: http://www.buduracing.com/events_detail.php?e=229
and on this: http://www.uswts.com/index.htm

and if I get into Danskin, I'll look at it as icing on the cake.

At least, that's what I'm trying to do.

Ok, I took the bull by the proverbial horns. I am SO bad at just being patient so I e-mailed them. If they didn't want e-mail, then they shouldn't put their e-mail address on the website, right? So this is what I got in response, this morning:

Date has not been set, within the next week or two is anticipated. Your name has been added to our Seattle mailing list to receive notification.

Danskin Women's Triathlon Series

So read into that, we only have around 2 more weeks of insanity

Thanks for finding that out, you da babe!

I guess I can stop checking every hour now, eh?

[jesvetmed]

At least they responded to your email fairly quickly.. that is surprising. Way to go on the asking. I still don't like the answer, though!

[salsabike]

So I wonder if I also emailed them and asked politely about when they will register, would they add me to the notification list? Maybe I'll try, anyway. Ugh. It's hard to stop this insanity once started...

T., did you email Danskin or Timberline?

I feel like a totally nuts person about this.

I e-mailed Danskin. I am also impressed at how quickly they responded Salsa, go ahead and e-mail 'em also. They don't know you know me and besides, they DID open it a day earlier than scheduled last year. I think we've got a right to have a fighting chance to get in this thing.

Thanks Knot! I think, though, we should be just as obsessive. What if we let our guard down and they opened it EARLY?!

Jesvetmed, I do work kind of quirky hours sometimes. This spring (actually from tomorrow until late May or so) I'll be working days with a few exceptions. I know what it's like though. For the longest time all I wanted was a chance to socialize with people who have normal lives It'd be like "so, you're having a BBQ...could you maybe have it on a Wednesday or Thursday so I could go?!!" Do you do ER work? Regardless, I am sure we can all find times to train together sometimes. There's no doubt in my mind
