    Bump, yawl

    Bump, you guys. Mkidd is right. The site now says that registration for Seattle opens Tuesday Feb. 26. But what time, dammit??? That's what I want to know. I'll be at work that day. Hope I don't get fired for signing up via school computer.

    I hate to sound low-tech, but they seem to honor mail entries if they are postmarked on the day the race opens. Maybe you should just mail the entry in? I know you risk having something go wrong, but it might be something to consider.

    Orlando's closed but you canm stil get a spot through AT Children's Project. You are required to raise $2200 in spponsorships (your credit card will be charged if you don't), but it also includes 2 night's hotel at Disney's Cornonado.

    I hate direct fundraising, but I don't think it would be hard to raise $2200 in my circle. I've been hit up quite a few times by friends doing the Komen Race, etc. I do want to look into it a bit more and see what percent of funds raised go directly to research, but at first glance they seem reputable.

    Update: Well, the http://charityreports.bbb.org/public...CharityID=3679
    says they don't submit finncials and they are not listed on http://www.charitynavigator.org or www.CharityWatch.org so I'm not sure I want to do this.

    I'm all in.

    I wonder if we have enough interest for custom shirts?

    QuillFRED! So nice to have you back.

    Custom TE Danskin shirts? That would be cool.

    PS Given Knot's experience last year (or was it Teigyr?), I think we should all be checkin' tomorrow as well as the next day...

    Thanks Salsa! It is great to be back.

    Did I hear right? I-90? Aye-yi-yi.

    I was hoping we could circle Seward Park until we finished or passed out dizzy. Do they block traffic at all anywhere? I'm getting sweaty fingertips here.

    On I-90 there is a totally separated HOV lane and that is what the Danskin uses - It is closed during the tri - You WILL NOT be required to ride with traffic when on the highway. I'm even pretty sure that Lake Washington Blvd is closed to traffic that day too.
