No, I'm not doing it.  Heard from a reliable source that Mike Timlin's wife is in and it's likely that the Red Sox pitcher will be there cheering for her.  Who's in?

I've always been spooked about this race. Don't you have to walk on water swim in Boston harbor?

I am racing it! I did last year and swimming in the Boston harbor isn't that bad. Plus is flat and FAST! What's pretty cool is to see the Pros after the sprint is over... pretty cool

I'm glad there will be some first timers there.  Looks like there are lots of elite and I'm beginning to worry about DFL.  Well, I may still be DFL. 

I'm trying to borrow a BT sign from OnTheRun, the one he used in Cranberry last weekend, so we can have a meeting landmark.

I borrowed a sign from OnTheRun with "BT.com" and "TriFury" on it.  Don't know where to put it while we are racing.  But if any BTer sees the sign after the race, it's likely to be me holding it.

Laura,

Good Luck! I'm sure you won't need it. You're right about the weather, it's going to be optimal. I'll be rooting for you. (from Marshfield) We have a big neighborhood block party. Looking forward to your race report. Is the whole family going to be there to cheer you on? Sounds like Jorge wants to do it, but his coach has the bigger picture in mind for him.

I'm really curious about how they get you out of the water. Are there any pictures posted anywhere? They hoist you out?
