Anyone going to EagleMan? Or Philadelphia?

I'll be at 70.3 CA.

edit: I know there are a few people from here doing the race also.

I'm trying to set up a little pre-race ride of the course, Saturday February 4th, 8:00am. Anyone is welcome. I'll bring it back around sometime over the weekend or next week.

Panchotri:

There's a sprint tri here in philly on July 30th website is here

its not the excellent "City of Philadelphia Triathlon" which is on June 25th, but it's essentially a sprint tri on the same course as the great Olympic Distance Race. I had a few friends do it last year and they thought it was a good time. I may even actually do it this year.

There is also the Jersey Genesis Tri which is a superb race. Its in Port Republic NJ, about an hour and a half from philly. Love this race, have done it multiple times, although the commute is a factor. I've only raced it when I was staying at the Jersey Shore, much less of a drive.

Finally there is the Brigantine Island Tri, which is another sprint, In brigantine nj, raced it in 2003, its a fun little sprint...but alas, another hour+ commute.

If you're not looking to travel, I'd do the Philly tri, its right in the city, and you can brag to all your friends that you have survived a swim in the Schuylkill River...

I might be doing Philly, I will be doing NYC, and some smaller sprints in NJ, and upstate NY

right on! I just check the site and the river looks ok, I don't know about other stuff the river may have.

vmarwin: is it bad water?

If you come to NYC you can meet the dead rat that was floating in the Hudson last year.
And they say you can't have food on the swim course?

RV we are 2 degrees away :D

Relax RV...Beads is safe! In addition to Beads,
I met Kona...briefly, at Disney and Brittda and her man too but that was it for me.
Will be at Columbia (hopefully) then Eagleman...probably a smattering of Du's and an ultra
(I doubt you'll be there, guys) While I try not to broadcast my plans it would be fun to meet more trifuelniks and help Beads with his 6 degrees...

BBB, don't forget that we came within a few minutes/metres of meeting britt at IMC.
That means our space/time continuum almost brushed up against beads' dimension.

- missed it by this much!
heh.

and we met paul - peby

PoC

I've met Great Greyhound at a race last summer. He is very nice and very tall :D And pretty fast too
Chris in OH

I'll probably do the Rockton Triathlon again this year.
Big Foot, too. That should be my second or third Olympic distance.

I'm 1/2 way though 20 miles of riding today --- better add a brick run if I expect to cross the line ahead of catwood this summer! :)

What the H** are the rules of this nonsense????

Kylie is 2 degrees as well. The three of us went for a ride together on Saturday!!! Trifuelers out and about in Southern California. :)

I raced with Kylie in the SVS Finals last October, and met armyjive Chris at SJIT last June. So where does put me with Beads?

My company sponsors Eagleman and Columbia. Would anybody be interested in a TriFuel dinner before one of these races?

I've met Lisa (vollenda) and Jer (Riverbrady). In fact we all biked together this weekend ;)

Oh yeah and Brandon (TdB) and Randy (randy) and I were on a team for a SVS adventure race!

I might be volunteering at the CA 1/2 IM, so would meet some of you there!

dang I just got caught up and I've been almost covered as far as who I know already. So I better add stuff... Hopefully BBB at IMC 2007... and maybe Beads at Vineman (which I'm convinced he should do)

Is that the Vineman 1/2 on July 30th or the Vineman Full August 12th?
I have to check with my financial advisor to see if I can swing it.

ya, ya I will be there. God knows I will not make my goals this year and will be bustin' my ass there in 2007 again. :mad:

No, I meant BBB at IMC in 2007 too. But I expect him to be able to cruise that year and kick back with us because HE WILL reach his goals THIS year!!!! :D

Here's my contribution. Don't say I didn't help!

Beads, your monopoly comment almost made me snort tea out my nose. As I am not drinking tea, this would have been quite an accomplishment.

Anyways, I'm already offering lodging for those Vineman folks who don't mind floor space (and even that might be running low soon). I've also emailed the race people to see if we have a group of 4 if they can do anything special like they are for groups of three (the way Lisa and Jer and I have gotten our shtuff together).

I have made women snort tea out their noses before, but they were drinking it at the time.

I guess this is an accomplishment??

Anyway,
My front tire almost fell off my car this past weekend and I am getting it fixed, for about $2100.00.
So that is taking a big bite of my savings.

BTW
$2100.00 USD is about $500,000.00 in Monopoly money,
and $716,425,633,402.03 in Canadian Dollars

Hey it was a great weekend of biking together! You don't get to touch it cause you're in the wrong country for joining us :D

Yeah, this sport can be $$$$!!

Take it from someone who used to go to Vancouver just to shop (yes, its a girl thing) the dollar is not what it used to be sadly......

beggers.....
