Pelican Fest Triathlon

I'm considering it.  I'm struggling to finish planning my race calendar.

Tri-virgin!  

You all are a bunch of running HILL LOVERS!!! Zev... remind me why we're doing this course again? Because we have something to prove from last year?! LOL, I think we're crazy 

If any of you are going to head up here early to ride the course, lemme know and I'll try and join you!

Sara,

 I'm planning on heading up there in the next week or so, with a buddy. We can try to ride as a small group.  Do you know the new bike route? I read that the course was changed due to construction.

I'll be heading up there for a pre-ride of the course today. I should get there at about 1 pm if anyone wants to play hookie from work and join me.

I'm not real comfortable putting my cell ph # up here, so if you want to meet up, I'll be riding a red Felt and wearing a red jersey.

I'm going with a bunch of friends and was just wondering if y'all know anything about the course... i was looking on the website and the map is really small and hard to read! all i know is the run is tough! anyone know anything else!?!

thanks!

Hey All! 

 Just wanted to fill y'all in.  I work for Farmers Insurance in the claims department.  Just wanted to fill you in on top of the news from CNN.  Windsor Co was very near ground zero for the Tornado.  Not sure how close to the golf course yet.  We know that roofs have been ripped off and that cars were hit with large softball size and larger hail.  We will have people on the ground in the next few hours.  We are hoping for the best.

 I better not be deprived of my devirginization!

_{Geez Ocky!! That is crazy news. I hope noone got hurt!}

I am bumming as plantar fasciitis and related back pain are keeping me from racing Pelican Fest! I have been waiting all year to  try to beat last year's time.

Hey All,

Here is the latest news:

Farmers Insurance is dispatching the National Catastrophe unit.

Greeley is the hardest hit.  There are trees in cars.  NOAA has confirmed the storm to be an F3 Catergory Tornado.   Have not yet confirmed any fatalities.

 I will be heading out tomorrow as part of the dispatch,  I'll keep y'all posted.

FROM THE LOCAL NEWS, WINDSOR WAS HIT THE WORST WITH ONE CONFIRMED DEATH AND 14+ HOSPITALIZED. THE RACE SITE IS VERY CLOSE TO WHERE IT HIT THE HARDEST AND THEREFORE THE RACE IS CANCELLED. THERE ARE CLOSE TO 200 PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES UP THERE - IT WAS A TOTAL DEVASTATION.

Hey All,

Our guys and gals are on the ground.  Parts of the management staff have been dispatched.  For now I'm on the on call list depending on what the needs become as the day goes on.

We are spread out all over the area.  Some dmg is easy dent repair, with many being a total loss.  Both auto and property.  As the day goes on, we expect volume to change as people gain access to phones.

I have one gentlemen on my team in Windsor with another travelling the 85 corridor from Plateville to the North. At least 2 of the reported claims are within .5 miles of the Water Valley neighborhood.  As the day goes on, we should have real time photos. 

Be safe.
