It’s our last Team social before race weekend.
Not traveling to Penticton? This Social is an opportunity for you to commune with the Ironman participants as a group before they leave for Canada.

130 E. Randolph Dr., Chicago, IL 60601

Why? To distribute garments for Underpants Run; to discuss recognition of our Training Widows/Widowers/Offspring; and most importantly … to drink beer with our teammates. It may be our last chance to get together as a group before Canada. Yikes, is the race really less a month away?!?

I was thinking about ways to stay busy while tapering, when the day that I no longer have to spend more time on my bike than I do sleeping comes, and I have a very short list. I’m wondering if anyone can help me fill my days.
Requirements: it has to be on-topic (I like to stay focused.)
Movies:
Canadian Bacon http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109370/
(The U.S. President, low in the opinion polls, gets talked into raising his popularity by trying to start a cold war against Canada)
South Park the movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158983/
When the four boys see an R-rated movie featuring Canadians Terrance & Phillip, they are pronounced “corrupted”, and their parents pressure the United States to wage war against Canada.
Music:
Avril Levigne http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avril_Lavigne
Men Without Hats http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Without_Hats
But don’t listen to them while driving - you might be overcome with the urge to veer into oncoming traffic just to make the noise stop
