You sound relaxed and ready to go. We need to figure out a way to meet. Our times will be close so we could try to catch one another in the family meeting area.

Robert,

Sounds good. What's your bib#? I'm #5550 and will be with 7 girls at the end (wife and 6 daughters). Wish you the best this weekend!

Travel safely fellas! Hope to maybe meet you guys in Boston!

Good luck in your race. That's so awesome that all your girls will be there at the finish. It's going to be a great weekend!

From Robert on Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 10:16:22 from 206.195.193.254

Safe travels to you all as well. We'll meet at some point after the race. I'll be the one wearing #4276, hanging out in section J meeting area, and probably looking like "death warmed over".

From rockness18 on Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 10:52:43 from 12.108.110.120

Robert, yes, lets make the effort to connect. Hopefully it will be in section J vs. the medical tent :)

Jeff, good luck in the race! I'm looking forward to seeing how you fare. Hopefully we'll meet. I noticed a group of you guys will probably be going out, but I'm committed to family stuff (my wife's still humored by my "cyber-friendships"...I'll have to get her into the blog for her to understand ). Have an enjoyable weekend!

Rattletrap (what's your real name?), thanks for the words of encouragement...the whole family's very excited!

Real name = Mike Davis.

Don't waste any time posting your results. I'm anxious to hear how you do.
