FYI - The Marriott does not have our discounted rate yet. The Race Director is following up and should have it sorted out today/tomorrow. David will let you...
This is Memphis were talking about, so expect the group rate to be entered two weeks after the event. Let's just say that Memphis ranks well below other cities...
Is there anyway we can track who of our friends/family sent in donations? I'd like to send out thank you cards if I survive the thing. Michael Buckler...
Yes - the Destination Cure folks will provide us with those details. I'm working on getting some more “real-time” updates so we know who we should stop...
So the training schedule suggested a mini-tri today. I'm having a hard time believing that doing 2/3 of the swim, 1/3 of the bike and 1/2 of the run is close...
Holodets, Divchina if you managed to do that much!! I am also concerned about music. I basically may as well meet everyone in graceland if i can't listen to...
Just wanted to let you all know that the Marriott ((901)-527-7300) is ready to accept reservations. Just mention Destination Cure to get the $159 rate. Hope...
Hope everyone's doing well. I wanted to get an idea of who has made their hotel reservations. The race director has committed to a certain number of rooms...
FYI - I know there has been some headphones chatter here, if you look at last years's results there are time penalties assessed for headphones. William C....
not sure what the rules are for this race, but headphones are generally not allowed. i did find out that they will have a bunch of kayaks on the swim and...
Because I am a dork, I just read the USTA rule book (and I am slow at work). You can even stand up on the bottom of the lake if you can reach, hang onto a...
can i take the penalty points or will that hurt our chances for a gold? i dont know if i can make it through if i have to hear myself panting. plus the music...
I believe it is 2 minute penalty, so depending on how many of those you take you may miss out on the prize money :) William C. Donovan, Esq. Burns & Levinson...
I booked hotel rooms for all the ladies...or at least those I know of (Em, Rosemary, Rosemary, Danielle, myself), got the Destination Cure rate and I think our...
Julie - thank you for booking us gals in the hotel... it is very comforting to know I won't be homeless the night before the tri! A word or two on wetsuits. I...
Just made my reservation for the 21st and 22nd... Hadn't worked out any roomate arrangements so if there is anyone left who would still like to split...
I've had some folks ask about what to wear for the race: - I have Nike Dri-fit jerseys for everyone. They're pretty nice with the Destination Cure logo, etc....
Howdy Y'all, David is right on in the department of tri shorts for men, and the ladies too. 25 miles on a hard bike with no cushioning is a disaster for your...
question again about a changing "pit" - are we going to just jump from swim to bike to run? i have padded bike shorts and running shorts that i want to wear....
I also have to change from the bike to the run. I'm not sure if the technical term is a "changeroo" but David thinks there are changing areas. With my two...
I put the following packing list together in order to get myself organized. My Type A personality has me a bit paranoid about remembering everything necessary...
I have a 4/3 windsurfing wetsuit that I can borrow from my roomate. Anyone have any thoughts as to whether this would be ok? Or is this like doing the bike...
I would either rent tri-suit or go without. But, then again, I jhave,jt done a lot of windsurfing and I did almost drown the last time I tried this... ... ...
Rose - Thanks for the great list. It looks like you'll be bringing enough accessories for all of us. There is, however, one significant omission. Everyone...
Bill - I strongly suggest that you do not use a windsurfing wetsuit. One of my buddies tried it about two years ago, and it wasn't pretty. He overheated in ...
Thnaks for the advice. That is a funny story about your buddy. William C. Donovan, Esq. Burns & Levinson LLP 125 Summer Street Boston, MA 02110-1624 Direct...
