I'll be cheering on and volunteering in the medical tent again this year and contemplating signing up for next year.... Trying to decide on Canada or Couer d'Alene.

Nice hotel name ;) I will be up there with my wife. She is racing. We are staying in Okanogan? (It's were the run turnaround is). I am going to be doing an Epic training week in preparation for Kona while she is tapering for the race. We should hook up for some easy spins.

I know BBB will be there and POC as well (he's practically VIP). As we get closer to we can make some plans to meet and have a spin and a coffee. That's certainly where I'd prefer to meet toni, not in the med tent after.

I'm sure are some others coming up as well.

Dude! You have 10 full weeks LOTS O TIME!!!! Get started. But then again aren't you the one that is trying to do this on the "least" amount of workout? Still don't know how you are to accomplish your goal on that though hehehe. All the best. If I were around I'd kick yer butt to get going though. I know you'd be happy I would do that.

Yeah, at 4am Sunday morning it's only an hour and a quarter drive, but remember those guys at the Olympics who missed the race they had trained years for by ten minutes, because their bus got caught in traffic?

Besides, you gotta check-in Friday. There's a compettors meeting (req.) Saturday. Plus all the entertainments, trade fair booths and trifuel guys to hang out with. Do I want to commute back and forth for 3 or 4 days?
Rather than camp out (even in the car)?

BBB, 10 weeks? That long.
Oh, all right then, I'll get on it, but I'll leave the swim training for another 2 or 3 weeks - lake's still a bit cold. heh.

lessee, where'd I leave my runners..

I try only to swim that early ONCE a year.

I was planning on driving down to Penticton Friday morning.

Why camp in the car any more nights than necessary?

run Friday? Bike? Swim?

Uh, aren't you supposed to do your training, like, back in the Spring?

Now is the time to rest, carb up, eat Fritos, lay on the beach.

Ok, I tried to line something up. Someone else give it a go. I'll be staying on the road in the van just behind the peach so am available any time. I will likely be swimming thurs aft/eve and fri AM at like 7-730am before registration. I still think we should all meet up somewhere, sometime for a photo and to just say hi to each other, if not that then to put a face to the names we have not met.
