Pre-race prep

Today is largely been easy going, getting everything ready for race. We have to be at the race site by 5am, so it's going to be an early night, and a REALLY early morning. We went to the pre race meeting in full Nacho regalia, and had a great reception. We were a hit.

Gord parallel parked the RV, but it ended up in us recieving a 20 dollar parking ticket. The price of awesomeness.

Nachooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Good morning!!!

Good morning Nacho fans. Our first night in North Carolina was a success, except that we forgot to turn the heat on, and it dropped to 2 degrees. Thankfully, we were able to use each other's body heat, to survive.

Coffee is on, and there are lots of naked triathletes walking around.

NACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We have arrived!

4:30pm the Nacho team has finally arrived in Wilmington NC. It was a long voyage, and we are glad to be here. We headed straight to the registration center to claim our really nice race kits, and have the athletes kick-off pasta dinner. We rendezvou'd with the other Canadians Steve and Mike.

After the dinner, GORD and his magnificent driving skills got us out of a REALLY tight parking space. We headed to the Wilmington KOA, managed to figure out the hookups, and are now chilling out, having a beer, some showers, and watching Family Guy. Everyone is pretty tired, so it will be an early night I'm sure.

Tomorrow we have to go and set up our transitions, hopefully go for a practice swim in the salt water, and just get ready for Saturday.

Stay Tuned

NACHOOOOOOOO

this guy is really showing his stuff

I think that is is the newest standard for the team, this guy really must be sucking up to be part of the team. Glad I got in before this was required.

The Shroud of Tim!

Good Lord!, if you look closely at the veins on the fat guy's stomach below this, you can see an outline of Tim's face!

........drinking a beer


...........waita minute! I think I see cheese on his chin!!!

I always knew he was a God.

Beach 2 Battleship 24 days and counting

As most of you know, members of the travelling Nacho Average Triathlon team will be invading Wrightsville Beach North Carolina on Nov. 2, 2008. to participate in the Beach to Battleship Ironman event.

We will be attempting to blog throughout the trip, to keep those Nacho fans up to date on the going ons.

Stay tuned for the live blogging event, starting October 29, 2008.


If all goes well, we hope to look like this after the race.

This is Nacho election

We at the Nacho Average Triathlon team do not represent the beliefs of any political party, therefore the aforementioned "political widget" has been removed.

Having said that, if Steven Harper would give me a lifetime supply of nachos, I could be persuaded.


VIVA LA REVOLUCION

Politics on the blog?

Do we need politics on the blog? Lets keep it to Nachos & beer.
Oh, and triathlon too.

NOW THAT'S A BURGER!
