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.
We will be there Thurs 23rd leaving Tuesday 28th. Staying at the Days Inn
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.
We are staying at the Summerland Motel, Summerland. Yeah, up for a Saturday morning swim...

Damn I remember just a few months ago the anxiety that I got when we started talking about IMAZ roll calls... Enjoy!

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.
PoC
lessee, where'd I leave my runners..

I was planning to run Friday morning and Swim Sat ( I think) . So could meet later. Either day
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.

just a few miles ---and no Fritos the salt will make me balloon up. Not good for the scale:eek:
Heck I just started swimming in July.....
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.
