Do we still want to try to do a gtg in May? There's no pressure on my end, because I don't want to add stress to the race or to anyone else's schedule, but I do think it would be cool if we could hang a bit!
I get in on Weds. The welcome dinner is on Thurs evening. Bike & gear bag check in is Friday, and I will be having lunch with my family out in Cypress that day. Race is Saturday.
I would probably vote for Weds or Sun dinner gtg, but am open to other suggestions! I hope we can make something work!

I can definitely do Wednesday. My weekend schedule is now up in the air so I'm not sure if I'll be available Sunday evening (or even for the race itself ). But y'all plan something, and if I'm available, I'm there! I really really hope I can see you at some point!
Well, it looks like maybe Sunday, somewhere between the Woodlands and hobby airport will be the best bet? I don't really have any idea where anything is, particularly in relation to all of you. Is there a big park with food trucks & some place for the kids to run around and we can just hang? Is that absurd to think that might exist in 1000 degree weather? Or a great casual happy hour? I bet I will be ready to eat like a mother.
I can google some things in the next few days if no one has any particular ideas/recs.

Basically all of Houston lies between Hobby and the Woodlands. I'm not sure about a park with food trucks but I can definitely come up with some happy hour ideas.
We could do Discovery Green. Hotter than Hades but it has a splash pad for the kid and two dining options plus Phonecia grocery around the block.
That sounds cool! I will have picnic blankets/camp chairs and stuff for my family from race day anyway, we could picnic/takeout or something? Wine in to-go cups!
**open to other suggestions
clseale I have an extra hotel room that I haven't cancelled yet… <)

I'm back in! Considering I'm leaving DH with the kids all day on Saturday to spectate, I'll probably have the kids with me on Sunday. So Discovery Green sounds awesome. Yay!

Serious request. Houston girls, please take a video of our two, awesome, ironwomen, walking & getting up & down from chairs/picnic blankets. Bonus points for stair footage.

lmao I love you.
How about a few close-ups of my swollen cankles and missing toenails, while we're at it?
