    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

    Ahh... the night shift

    Yep.. ER veterinarian. It's worth it though -- a week off a month all at once. And this is the second best week... 4 days in a row off. Almost none of it weekends, though! Yeah, haven't seen many of my friends in a long time! Funny how no one comes to the Wednesday night BBQ's!

    I know I can find training time somewhere! So far it's working out.

    fyi to all you TE triathletes: the Cascade Bicycle club's Bike Expo is scheduled for Sat/Sun, 3/8 and 3/9th and Sunday is being called 'special triathlon day', with presentations by Sally Edwards
    Training for the Bike, by Sally Edwards
    Sunday, March 9; 11:45

    This 45 minute presentation is directed for all level of riders with a focus on women training to ride their best on the roads or in the races. Whether one is a first timer or seasoned cyclist, these are the tricks of the trade from a 30-year veteran, professional triathlete, and author. Learn about training, getting fitter and going further, and most of all, overcoming the barriers - speed or distance or fear - that hold you back.)

    Sal is not only one of the founders of the sport of triathlon (and a Triathlon Hall of Fame inductee), but also, most of Sally's recent races have been performed in her role as the National Spokeswoman for the Danskin Triathlon Series. Sally has finished every Danskin Triathlon dead last, as the "Final Finisher," inspiring more than 200,000 other women to make it across the finish line in front of her.

    There is also a presentation on swimming (10:30) and running (1:30), so it sounds like a great start for those of you planning your tri schedule...

    Thanks, MM.

    I emailed Danskin and just got an email back saying registration will open soon. They did not offer to add me to the email list SO I am still desperately dependent on Knot and/or Teigyr to call me on my cell phone if they see it open! Thanks, guys.

    CC, any help is appreciated Our obsession needs enabling.

    For anyone that cares, it looks like they are updating the site. I haven't received anything yet but they've added some verbiage to the entry site and it looks kind of like they're gearing up for it. A bit. Not to get anyone excited or anything
