Traveling to Knoxville, TN

ManOfWord · #1 05-06-2010, 09:32 PM

Leaving in the morning to travel to Knoxville, TN. As some of you know, I will be racing in my first ever triathlon on Mother's Day. Diane forgave me for doing this on Mother's Day! LOL Actually, when I signed up, I didn't know it was Mother's Day....oops! Most of the stuff leading up to the race will be taking place a World's Fair Park. There will be a worship concert tomorrow night and a family movie after that. Race start is at Volunteer Landing near Calhoun's and my wave, (the old guys) starts at 8:45am. My goal is to finish in 3hrs. We'll see.

The folks who put this event on, Revolution3, are committed Christians. Heather Gollnick, is a 5 time Ironman champion and along with her husband, they will be putting on 3 races this year. The final, at Cedar Point, in Sandusky is where I will be attempting and Ironman. I'm ready for this Olympic distance tri, but still have a ways to go for the Iron distance race in Sept.

If anyone in the area wants to get together, let me know. I am taking a young man in our church with me. So, if you want to hang out some, call my cell - 419-239-3429.

If you want a good steak go to Ye Ole' Steak House not too far from the Worlds Fair Park. It is awesome!

I 2nd the idea of Ye Olde Steakhouse. If you want a good steak, it is folly to go anywhere else.

Good luck on the race.

Will be helping open the race in prayer! Met Erik Birkholtz, founder of Multisport Ministries AND Russ Lee of New Song tonight! Russ gave a concert for the few of us who showed up for it. Practice swim in the morning. Got to be honest, the river is intimidating!!!!! BUT Phil 4:13! I know I can! I know I can! I know I can!!!
