TeamEN Event Information
Hi gang, here is the link for the event information http://tinyurl.com/bvfjtll (Team dinner location, After Race High 5's location and Day After Breakfast location). Please not that Bob McCallum is the Race Captain, but will only be point for the dinner. So just show up at the other locations if it suits you.
For the dinner we need to have numbers by May 10/2013 at 9pm at which time Bob will call the manager and let them know how many will be showing up. There is no prepayment. We will be ordering off the menu.
As you can see on the event sheet, I need your bib numbers, so I can pass them on to Mark for our tracker and if you all want to meet for a swim/bike or run, I need a suggested date/time and location that I can put up on the sheet.
I also need team Bio's STAT. Let our team know who you are and why you have choosen IMTexas as your Ironman or one of your Ironmans for the year. You can send that info to brenda@endurancenation.us
Last, but not least we need a meet up place and time for the morning of the race for a team pic. HELP!
Keep checking back here regularly for updates as this is where your Race Director and Race Captain will be communicating with you.

Lombardi...party of 1 ( holding out for 2...but can't confirm)
However, I do see coffee and breakfast happening because I definitely want to get some of the EN mojo going.
Bob/Brenda, thanks for the heavy lifting for the logistics. It really helps improve the experience.
John, here are some examples.

@ Roy thanks for examples
Ditto Brenda & Bob....
Of course I do understand if folks want to attend the IM event...
....I've always followed one of the pieces of advice offered up/suggested by R & P.......check in and then stay away from the crowds.. I've never been to the actual IM dinner....prefer the relaxation offered (and time management) of the small group dinner.
Also the reason why I avoid staying at the host hotel for travel events, avoid the expo, avoid the "mandatory" meetings, avoid the IM dinner, etc. All the crowded, forced events just aren't my cup of tea.
The real reason is I find most triathletes extremely annoying but don't tell anyone.
If you went to the IM dinner you'd fit right in.
Sherlock, party of one. Doubt I'm going to get the immediate family down there this time, but I have an Aunt, Uncle, and cousins that may come for support.
Looking forward to the race; not looking forward to relocating to Austin so close to race day...ugh.
Also, does anyone know when we purchase pictures for the race? I can't remember, but I thought I did this before IMLOU race day.
It's funny. I got my race pics free when I did IMFL in 2010 and IMTX in 2011. Never paid for them. Just got an email after each race saying "Here's the link and code for your pictures." I wasn't about to pay $100+ but I'll take them for free.
But seriously, I use IM race week to wear all my vintage Star Wars t-shirts and show up those geeky Star Trek losers! That's what really important. However, the new Uhura is really hot and I don't even know who the blonde in her underwear in the new commercial is, but I have to check that out. Don't tell my fellow Comic-con fanboys.
@ Brenda will have athlete bio to you soon
Sarah Gardner 2 for dinner and 2 for post race breakfast.
Reconfirming...Just wanna make sure ya got me on the dinner spreadsheet (I did put my info. in)....and definitley Post Race beers....and will do breakfast too!...(I didn't see anything on the spreadsheet for breakfast..)
I tried adding to the row on the spreadsheet and it didn't work. I can't access the spreadsheet at work so have been trying to do it on my phone.
2 for dinner!
And while I would love to do post-race beers, I will still be out on the course at that time.
Thanks,
Joanna
