We fly out to Vancouver on the 21st and arrive in Penticton on the 22nd. We are staying at the Apex Mountain Inn which is a little way out of town I think. Hope your training is going well - not long now until the taper:-)

Starting to get very nervous !!!!!!

Tommo

My training has been a nightmare this year. I lose November to MArch with bad problems and have been playing catch up since then. I have missed over 30% of the sets that I needed to make to catch up due to either logistics, equipment error or illness. If I race it will be to complete and enjoy the day rather than hammer for a Kona slot (my long term dream), regardless of my decision I will be there. Wear your tribe Ts there and we will seek out the ST'ers.

I'll have to get myself a Tribe T. Where do you get them from? Good luck with the rest of your prep. I hope you make it to the start line. I am trying for a Kona slot but as the race gets closer I wish I was just going to enjoy the day!!

It's nice to know that the IM I will eventually do is also the closest one to me! Signing up the previous year is the only way to guarantee a spot. I actually qualified in my 1/2 IM this past weekend, but passed. Too soon for that big of an event! And I'm definitely not a fast triathlete (usually in top 1/3).

Where do you live? There may be a qualifying event near you for next year.

Sure, all I'll need is an imprint of your ccard first....!

My wife an I are in! Will be my 4th IMC (96', 97' 04') and my wife's 3rd IMC (97' 04'). Need to redeem myself from last year with my slowest time ever. Still puzzled why my time was slow last year given the great weather.

Wish everyone a great race.

Also, if the idiot who passed me and about 100 other people last year going down the back side of Mclean Creek Road in the other lane is racing, I hope you get DQ! One asshole out of 2,000 isn't so bad. Maybe he learned how to swim under an hour this year and hopefully he will be in front of me until the run.

Click on the Cervelo banner at the top of the page, and go to aparell (sp) for peaceful tribe. Thanks, I look forward to meeting up.

[reply]Felix, I'm flying to Vancouver on the 20th and driving over to Penticton on the 21st. Wear your friendly tribe T and I will find you. Have a good trip and a great race, good luck on your Kona slot I will keep an ear out for your name at the awards meal.[/reply]

We fly to Vancouver on the 18th. then we stay there and on Vancouver Island. We arrive in Pentciton on Thursday and stay on South Beach Gardens Camping on Lake Skaha (near bike and run course).

I will wear the Peaceful Tribe shirt in Penticton. And you will probably hear and see my boys (2 and 4) before me. They are loud and can't stand/sit without moving for more than some seconds (my wife is quite afraid about the flight with them). An my older boy will sometimes wear a orange Ironkids shirt with the Swiss flag.
