| Veteran 159 NC | Subject: RE: You might be a BOPer if... - You worry about police abandoning the intersections on a closed course because they think everyone's gone through. - You're excited if people pass you because it meant you weren't in last place after all. |

Pro 6767 the Alabama part of Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: You might be a BOPer if... People think you ran the HIM really fast, when really you just ran the OLY really slow. Your friends at T2 begin to wonder if you got lost on the bike leg, or just stopped home for a beer.

Expert 944 Waller County, TX | Subject: RE: You might be a BOPer if... I'm feeling for ya... Normally, I'm FMOP, but during IMAZ this past April I had some physical issues that brought me to the BOP.

Your friends at T2 begin to wonder if you got lost on the bike leg, or just stopped home for a beer. (this one happened when I had a friend doing a relay with me) Had to laugh at this one. For years on a half marathon run my goal has been to finish the 1/2 before others finished the full. |
