Floyd Landis in Tulsa

[BabyBlueNTulsa]

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

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.

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. :-)
