That restaurant looks fine to us. I'm looking forward to it. Dave

Looks like we are all set at that restaurant at 6pm. You guys are easy! Thanks for working together on this. If anything changes, I'll post it here. Henry, my email address is in my profile. If you want to email me your cellphone # just in case we need to get hold of each other down there, that would be great, and I'll email you mine back.

Forget the race........I might come down just for the food.

Oh yeah, there's a race... I almost forgot! There's always room at the table for more! Come on down!

Hi btb....I haven't been able to check in lately but wanted to thank you for putting this together! I can't wait to meet you and see Henry and Marj again too! ...and the restaurant looks wonderfully delicious, see you soon, arf

My pleasure really! I'm glad things worked out for everyone. Just make sure your plane isn't late! Good luck to you and everyone else with their tapers!

Taper? I haven't started training yet

Looking at a map, I see that the hotel I'm at is closest to the restaurant, and that you guys would have to pretty much pass by it on your way to the restaurant. If you're walking, you wanna meet up in the lobby of my hotel and we can hoof it there together?

Sorry Dave.

I'll have the chicken roulade... Oh...wait... I won't be there! Darn, sounds like fun. Ralph and I ran this in 2005 and it was great fun. We had an 0600 start and the first hour was in the dark and it was SO cool. The last stretch is taxing on the mind because it is SO flat and straight, one can become delusional... or maybe that's just me. Have a great time!

Thanks for the insight! Disney was a 6am start as well, with the first hour or so in the darkness, and you're right, that is pretty cool. We'll let you know how the chicken roulade was!

Bob, we'll be there.

It was a great weekend in Tampa! Of course having sunny warm weather helps a lot! Marj and Henry, it was so nice to see you guys again. You two are a riot! Congrats to the both of you for having great races! Divechief and arf, I hope the both of you are feeling better SOON!!! I'm sorry things didn't work out for you guys as far as the race goes, but I hope the nice weather made up for things and that you were able to get out and do some fun stuff. I hope we can hook up at some point in the future. Henry and Marj enjoying their well deserved post race goodies! What a nice race course. An awesome sunrise over the bay about 1.5 hours after the start of the race.

I'm really sorry the weekend gatherings didn't work out different for us. We are both really sorry none of the meet ups worked out better. We both had fun in Tampa Sunday playing Tourist. Arf is doing better, but we both decided a DNS is better then a DNF. The race shirt is nice, I will probably wear it on some of my training runs, but first I need to get a magic marker and change the wording on it from "Competitor" to DNS We are looking forward to the next time we can meet.
