We're having a swim-run biathlon in Kona. 1/2 mile swim, 4 mile run. Weather will be brutal. I'll post pictures. A couple of ST'ers have said they'll be here.

Have you hugged Your Mom today?

I'm in!

Either doing a Resolution Run or Chedoke Stairs(something like 500 stairs to run up)

Not a big drinker so the 1 or 2 glasses of bubbly I have will more then do me in ;)

Proud member of the Guru Cartel, EH!

ok, i'm in for a 5K at least. you must understand though, that NYE is our wedding anniversary, and there is a frostbite five miler the morning of dec 31. so, a 5K is all i'll commit to at this point. :)

(usually there is no drinking whatsoever on NYE because i always had the frostbite 5 of the 1st. this year it's the morning before, so we'll see what happens! i've got a 1996 vintage champagne that keeps grabbing my the shirt tail everytime i walk by it!)

You're the prefect entrant for this race!!!

I predict a brutal hangover for you, my friend.

The race is gonna give you a nice endorphin buzz, then off to drink that bottle w/ the Mr., (never ignore the cries for attention from a nice bottle).

That should totally prepare you for some suffering on 1/1. I promise I'll run at least 5K, too - no matter how bad I feel!!!

So, you in?

You live in Kona.

Under normal circumstances, I would now be required to say, "I hate you" - but this being the Holidays, I can't bring myself to follow The Rules.

Have a great race. Enjoy the weather.

It's 39 degrees here. I want to hate you, but I don't.

Have 2 drinks and don't eat. That should even the playing field.

I'll be doing a 5K race in downtown Baltimore (gotta run fast so you don't get mugged or shot).

Why did I agree to this, I never go into Baltimore proper, ech..

Elivis needs boats.

I'll be riding and/or running on the 1st. Won't be a sufferfest for me since been there/done that on the drunk and stupid new year's thing. I'm way over that.

Old Midwestern saying in our family: Whatever you do on New Year's Day sets the tone for the rest of the year. Do ya really want to spent it drunk and stupid?

I'm getting too old for that New Year's partying nonsense, but I'm signed up for an early morning 5 km on New Year's Day. Whether or not I make it is another matter. I might just sleep in and go x-country skiing in the afternoon instead.

I'm in. Will spend the evening with family inside, away from all the lunatics. Have to be at work the next day at 5:00am, but will put in my daily 5 miler ay 3:00am. Hope you all have a safe New Year.

Yeah. I've been, there done that, too. That doesn't seem to be stopping me from planning on being hammered this year, though. I never learn...

Anyway, have a good one. And You still get a Virtual Finisher's T-Shirt for training on 1/1

Please submit Race Report.

What size Virtual Finisher's T-Shirt are you?

Am I the only one who hasn't learned from past hangovers that they suck, and I should avoid them? Guess so.

Have a great run or ski!

You are not alone. I'm Irish - some things I don't WANT to learn! I'm in. I will be royally hungover and will run at least a 5k on Jan 1. Great idea.

I must have been Irish in a past life...............

Drinking a big, fat glass of Cab right now!!!

I'm entering my 17th hour at work today. I sure could use a nice Cab right now! I feel like one of Santa's elves.

Why? Are you short? Oh no I di'int!!!

I'll have another glass - just for you, man.

Get the hizzle out of there, it's the weekend!

Ha! No, not short like an elf. Working all night to make x-mas gifts for people. I own a custom frame shop and I have been staring down a stack of my customers last minute x-mas gifts all week. I'm a very non-efish 6'3.

I'm in.

16 miles w/12 miles @ marathon pace on Heartbreak Hills.

That makes it easy to volunteer to be the designated driver...Hope I make midnight...

I think having to run on a trainer would be a worse punishment.

Don't forget to post those miles for the Virtual Training Camp.

Treadmill more difficult mentally, for sure.

Hey Stretch Armstrong

Hope you get it all done!

i'll put in a 12k on jan 1'st, promise

You're a better ST'er than me. I'll be lucky if I survive 4 miles. That's the minimum I will allow myself. I KNOW I'm gonna feel like death, but also know that I'm gonna need to repent, big time!!!

Fedeb

I'm in. I will run 6-13 miles. Not quite the same as running upstate NY. I know.

Might go surfing first.
