Ironman Bingo Cards...
Folks -
I think we owe it to the familles and friends who sit out there all day to give them something fun to do while they sit, and watch, and sit, and wait....my thought was to have an Ironman bingo card. 5 x 5 spaces for 25 items. I need topics from you, sample list items include:
- Disk Wheel
- Fuelbelt
- Bloody Nipples
- Full Body White See Through Kit
- What else?
If we can come up with the categories...could be fun to get these printed out...

We started to do this last year, although I'm not sure how much traction we really got from it in the end. At any rate, Blazer and Scott A provided the attached IM Bingo Game along with a huge list (second tab of the Excel file) of things to look for and check off. Here ya go!
I can't figure out how to add attachments to the forum (maybe I do that in my profile?). Anyway- here is the Thread in the EN 3.0 Forum where you can find the Excel File:

Nemo you are amazing! Not only to remember, but to find it!
Patrick - don't want to hijack your thread
. While you're thinking of things for families to do, did you ever considerorganizing a group to volunteer for a run aid station (e.g. run aid station #2 at IMLP from 12:30-4:30p) or some similar afternoon aid station where EN peeps (non-racers) and family members might have a significant presence? I'm putting together a group for IMCDA for the family travelling with my group.
