Next BT-CO Group training...

I do!  Options:

• OWS
• bike in Ft. Collins
• party or something as a "bon voyage"

Your thoughts?

I'd be up from a ride (or whatever) and am usually pretty flexible so I can try to adapt to dates that work better for others.

Matt - I was thinking about going out to the Danskin to maybe meet some people and possibly get a (my first) open water swim in afterwards. Or bike - whatever. I mentioned it to Ben once, but we never really decided on anything. If you guys are up for something, let me know. He may still be up for it too. Ben? Or anyone else for that matter.

Ooo - July 17th is the Danskin, and the Table Mesa Tris - I don't know who all will be at Danskin, but I will be at Table Mesa, trying to cut into the Elite-level bike times. 

Kim, since there will be a handful of us doing BP, we could just have a lunch party after packet pickup in Boulder/Longmont or some such - would that work?

OK, now wait a minute - I started this thread to be about a group training, and a party for Kim is definitely group training, but cold water and the Danskin?  WHAT ABOUT KIM?!?!

I'll be out of town the weekend of the BP, but I can say goodbye to Kim at the Danskin on Sunday (I can't believe you're already moving, Kim!!!).

I'd be up for group training on the 30th - especially if it's on my end of town   I would suggest an open water swim at the gravel pond at Chatfield, followed by either a trail run or bike ride.  If people are up for food, we could bbq afterwards at the park or at my house depending on the # of people.  

Does that sound good to anyone?   

I'm the non official spokesperson for Kim.....she says she would be up for an OWS at Boulder Rez on 7/23 after (?before?) packet pick up.  I can look into reserving a grill if anyone is interested in that (Kim is.....). 

Aside from that, Stacey, I would totally be up for going south for a group event.

OK, as unofficial BT-CO mascot, let's do the OW swim/packet pickup at Boulder Res on the 23rd. 

That still leaves the 30th unblocked.  OWS/run at Chatfield then?  We haven't befouled been to Stacey's house yet...

I *think* both work for macdaddy and me.  The 30th is his birthday (shhhh - I didn't tell you that - he moves up into the next age group! - he'll never check here )

Stacey, any plans for the 30th?

I'll look into the BBQ pits for the Rez on the 23rd.

I believe packet pickup starts at 10 am, with a meeting at 11.  By 11:30, I'll be darn hungry...

OK, so the 23rd is packet pick up for BPT, OWS swim, or could run or bike, AND sadly GOOD BYE to kimj81 (not on BT, just in CO)

So if packet pick up is that early, that is perfect.  The beach/swimming "opens" at 11.  You aren't allowed to swim unless there's a guard there.  Turns out we can bring propane grills.  It is expensive to rent an area.  Hence, we'll either all byop(p for protein) for grilling or a sandwich or something.  Anyone up for bringing a grill?  Also no glass is allowed FYI.  I've seen them be pretty strict there.  AND, it's $6 to get in.

How about meeting at 11ish at Boulder rez on the 23rd?  I know there's the meeting, so you racer people can show up late.  Heck, if we're hanging out for a while, then anyone can show up late. 

Who's in?

Not that I'm advocating any cheating, but when I showed up for 5430 Sprint packet pickup at Boulder Rez, I just said I was with the Triathlon, and didn't have to pay...

I've got one of those little smoky joe grills, so I'll bring that. And cans. God bless whoever decided micros should come in cans as well.
