Alright, who’s up for an ST gathering at IM Moo? Maybe an ST’er table at the Friday dinner? Thoughts? Anyone else staying at the Grand Stay Residential Suites?

I’m in… TNO-ers have like 3 get togethers. I’ll be damned if they’re more of a tight-knit group than us!
I’m in

Be sure to write an ‘S’ on your calves so you all can identify each other.
Or make a sign that says ‘Slowtwitch’ on it at the Janus Creation Station to carry around like a ‘parade of forums’. Collect all your lemmings!
Bump…this can’t be it, can it? Is it me? Darn, I thought I was more popular…
Spot
Sounds bueno.

When where etc? We coudl just crash teh TNO pancake breakfast…that’s probably what I’ll do…but I’m not crashing I told them I might show.

What is TNO?
Plans changed and I’m not coming in until 9ish Friday AM.
Anybody wants to hook up for a quick swim/bike/run and-or a carride around the course, give me a PM. My family isn’t arriving until late Friday.
Here’s my Friday schedule:
9:00 - Arrive
9:15 - Swim for 30 minutes, Find Tom, say “hi”, get a free Gatorade bottle
10:15 - Register, drop $100 at the IM store, buy stupid stuff I don’t need.
11:00 - Eat something, preferably healthy
11:30 - Drive the course, get lost.
1:30 - Sit on the couch/sleep.
5:00? - Pasta dinner
Otherwise, I’ll be swimming Sat AM at 8:00am. I’m the 165lb guy wearing a wetsuit.
;o)
I’ll plan on showing up to the Friday Pasta dinner in my ST/Cervelo “Peaceful Tribe” shirt…
Spot
What the hell?! Wasn’t the pre-race meeting on Saturday last year? This really throws a wrench in the works.
According to the athlete information guide, the dinner is at 5:30 on Friday, followed by the pre-race meeting at 7:30.
Spot
How about wet meet on the floor in the middle of the elevators on the way down to the banquet hall right before the dinner?
Never been there before…is this easy to find? Around 5:15ish?
Spot
I say a table at dinner on Friday.
How should we identify it?
I’ll have on my black “Peaceful Tribe” t-shirt…maybe we can all gather on that, unless some enterprising/artistic individual wants to come up with a “Team ST” flag/banner…
Spot
I have no confidence in my ability to find a single tee shirt among 2000 athletes.
We need a flag or something.
Yeah, after I posted that I started thinking about the numbers involved…probably not the brightest plan in the world…
Spot
My vote is that Spot make a ST sign (foldable like a tent) at the Janus booth and bring it to the pasta dinner (I’ll be a tad late). Find a table somewhere b/w the VIP section and the buffet line. (Think rectangle room for 2,500 people with the stage in the middle of one of the longer sections…big-ass video screens on both sides of the stage)
I’ll bring a camera for the photo…
BTW - $40 is robbery if your SO is considering going…although the presentation/video is pretty fun.
Who’s going to make the huge TNO with a circle around it and slash going through it sign? That’ll be the slowtwitch table
You better show, I’ve got you on the list
