Veteran  281  |  Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....?Jen, Thanks for the kind words  ... I am pretty proud of my family too, we have been blessed in so many ways. Meeting the BTers has also been a blessing and motivation, thank you all for being here! I will meet by the Kent Lake bathroom building (or the parking lot if we can get in there!) around 5:30ish. I hope to be there by 5:00, but with traffic/construction, you never know! Jo, Melissa and I did the Island Lake hill last time we rode ILRA. Going down is a lot of fun, coming back up is a bit of work, but it is no where as long or high as the other two hills. Don't worry about that one! I actually hate the 360 degree turns, they kill your time  ... I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night! Dan |

Expert 771 Farmington, MI | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? Jo, I haven't done that hill for a while but I don't think its nearly as long as the other ones that we've been doing all summer. Its going to be a lot of turning for a sprint course, but oh well. |

I'm not doing the race, but would like to make it out there to cheer for everyone. Plus, I have a few roadie Greyhounds to make fu...er.....cheer on
Weee! I haven't seen you in a while, so this will be muy fun! I think 5:30 - race start is a good meet up time. Lana Bana and I will be doing a quick ride pre race (I am having MAJOR bike noise concerns... grrr) along ILRA, so I will be there early! I will also be there Thursday if anyone is up for a swimmy bike brick. 25 miles bike - 1400m swim. |

Member 52 GB | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? Picked up my race packet yesterday....I'm scairt!! My race # is 255. I just keep thinking of Dory in Finding Nemo.."Just keep swimming, just keep swimming." If you see a gal with green TYR suit and tri shorts on looking like she's lost....THAT'S ME! |

Member 25 Carleton Michigan | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? Yea, I'm a little nervous too. Between bike breakdowns and band gigs, I haven't had the training that I should. Lucky for me I keep a collection of flea market specials and I'm pretty handy at fixing bikes. Now if I would quit falling down and bending the wheels, I wouldn't have to be fixing wheels and swapping bikes all the time. In case anyone was wondering, you should alway unclip BEFORE attempting to dismount a bicycle. I'm looking forward to the race tonight. It should be a lot of fun. See you there. |

Expert 1170 Berkley, MI | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? Well it looks like there will be 400 people there! AWESOME!
I will be on Kent Lake near the bathrooms at 5:30ish. OK between 5:30 and 6:15ish then. |

Expert 771 Farmington, MI | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? See you all out there! Pray to the rain gods to hold off until we're finished (or better yet, have the skies open up while we're running!). I'll be in my greyhound gear (pumpkin orange t-shirt and plaid tri top with a crazy looking dog on it) and hanging out with Jen (runnergirl). |

Extreme Veteran 426 Dearborn, Michigan, USA. | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? I called Running Fit on the phone and they said this year's race is totally full but there will be three of them next year! |

Master 1390 Ferndale, MI | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? Sorry all. I had to get three fillings redone this afternoon and by the time I was done, getting out to ILRA from Royal Oak would have been just plain stupid. As for ILRA Thursdays, I'm out on that this week, too. Canada is a much nicer place to be than off Woodward this weekend. |
I hope you all had a great time and that the rain gods held off in your neck of the woods!| 2008-08-13 5:57 PM in reply to: #1601815 |
Extreme Veteran 426 Dearborn, Michigan, USA. | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? Fiddlesticks. I expect you and I will be reading all these reports like, "The race was SO AWESOME!!!!" Phooey. I feel like I didn;t get picked to play.... |

I expect you and I will be reading all these reports like, "The race was SO AWESOME!!!!" Phooey. I feel like I didn;t get picked to play.... Well, All I can say is the... THE RACE WAS SO AWESOME.... I got to yell at lots of people.... So for those you who I told the wrong rack to go to as you entered transition sorry (I think I directed you all correctly).. And tonight I will be saying come down past the mount lion.... Dismount at the tree ... Good job... Someones behind you Dismount at the tree..... Yes that raving lunatic was me. Sara was first Women off the bike but I don't know if she missed a turn (Unfortunately the lead guy did and I heard a few others did also). It was fun watching the mounts and miss-mounts along with the dismounts. People really need to learn how to do a flying dismount the time savings was very impressive. Hope everyone had a good time. I did. |

Member 52 GB | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? OMG. This triathlon seriously ROCKED MY WORLD!!! I frickin loved it. So good to meet Jen, sushigirl, Dan and others. There was such a positive vibe there tonight, and it was great for a newbie like me. I think I finished around 1 hr and 45 mins. Not sure how this rates, but as a first-timer, I'll take it.....all the way to my next tri!!!!! |

Member 25 Carleton Michigan | Subject: RE: So, what about this cool little T-Rex weekday evening triathlon....? Lisa Great job, that's a better time than my first tri. You obviously survived the swim I think I PR'd by over 10 minutes. I had a much improved swim, I actually didn't have to side or breast stroke this time. I'll make out a full report tomorrow. I didn't get to meet all the BT people, but it was great seeing the ones that I did. OK I'm really hooked on triathlon now. Time to start saving pennies for a tri bike. |
