D'oh - not good - I'm a bad person

It really depends on the race, the director, etc. Send him an email and see what he says. Good luck.

Oh, and have fun at that wedding .

This is a great example of it being easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Isn't that a rule?

Can't you get a stand in to go to the wedding?

(It took me 2 months to tell my wife I signed up for IMKY next year)  

Wife dropping me at the dealership to pick up my car ... as I transfer my golf clubs over to my trunk and prepare to go meet my buddy on the links ... "Have fun golfing sweetheart, ON OUR ANNIVERSARY."

It's a few years later, and I'm still married.  Buy her some chocolates and flowers.  If she can't handle it, move on.

Oh it's not that it will mean much to her if you DO go, it's what it would mean to her if you DIDN'T go.

Around here, triathlons are usually, and weddings are rarely, in the morning. Where's the conflict?

And if she's standing up, won't you be sitting around somewhere else while she gets hair, manicure, pedicure, makeup, dressed, etc???  At this point, running the tri would be a FAVOR to her so that she won't be distracted by you when she really needs to give her full attention to the bride. See?  Easy.

Where's the wedding? It's only 1.5 hours from Highcliff to Pewaukee

There's going to be a big BT turnout at HC with a great post race party (if this helps to change your mind )

Rick is GOOOOOD!!!!!

C'mon! All the cool kids are doing it! You'd be the hero if you did both!! Like Mr Incredible says......... "I still got time!" 

If I ever mention my interest in getting a wife or a GF, someone please beat the crap out of me.

Much obliged...
