I'm planning on the morning swim on Friday at 0800. Does anyone want to join me? Usually there is a big infaltable gatoraid bottle at these things. I'll wear my BT shirt and be close the bottle if you want to take a little dip!

On thursday at 10am their will be a Louisville bicycle Club ride that starts from the yellow lot at river front park. This is a flat easy 47 miler that runs along the river walk with some city riding at the begining, with a lunch stop at a fish joint. This would be an easy ride to keep your legs loose also you can turn around at any point if you don't want that many miles.

The family and I will head out from Dallas around noonish on Wednesday.  We're stopping in Memphis Wed. night, and expect to be in Lousivilly Thursday afternoon.

I'll be at the swim on Friday, and might be interested in a drive of the course on Friday afternoon.

Started to pull everything together for the race.  This is one reason that I was glad that I saved the transition bags from IMWI last year; so I could just use them again and know that I've got everything covered by going through transition in my head.  Pulling stuff from the bag and putting it on.

Don't worry about being alone - you'll be with 2400 of your new best friends!! My husband and kids are coming but aren't coming to a lot of the activities (skipping the fri. dinner ps. I need a ride from the Springhill suites to the dinner) so I'll be solo some too. We are trying to balance making the trip fun for a 6 & 9 year old and still involving them in the race.

hey all....this is going to be fun!

I'll be in thurs around dinner time.

Is there a consolidated comm plan for the weekend? a way to get the "word" out for BT gatherings/activities (i.e. AM swims, short bike, meet for banquet, etc.)...maybe a phone/text tree? or will we just wing it?

Cube Farm Gopher,
I am impressed with the simplicity of your layout and would like to duplicate it. What is going in the morning gear bag? What is in the little kit in the swim to bike bag? What is the orange thing in the bike to run bag? No special needs bag? Sorry to be so nosy. Organization is not my strong point.
