The rest of the trip does, just not that largest climb. BWT...The weather in MT has been pretty much great for several weeks. Last week it was 61 degrees in Philly at 8 a.m. EDT and 59 in W. Glacier at 6 a.m. MDT. Generally been warm and dry, and that trend looks to continue.

My father had a tattoo for radiation right below his sternum and it really did look like a sniper's reticle, a cross with a nice neat circle around it. Maybe the rad tech was just showing off his skills.

Excellent! I suggest you download the Photobucket app. Very easy to sync with your pics and post here, as I demonstrated yesterday. If I can do it, you KNOW it's easy.

Really? One of the posts that I saw had the generic photobucket fail pic. I think it was you, maybe not. I'm not going back to find it.

The extra time is for security checks. Many times you don't need near that, but if there are lots of flights leaving in your general time frame, security could be backed up real nasty.

That was someone who quoted him. Don't know why that happened, unless that person is just cursed.

Keep in mind that boarding can begin up to an hour before takeoff. But 3 hours is still more than you need, IMO. I don't fly to Europe though.

I gave up on the computer version of Photobucket in utter disgust.

3 hours is almost certainly overkill. Most airports, most times, there's nowhere near that sort of delay at security.
Also, if you're TSA precheck, that typically significantly reduces any delay through security.
However, missing your overseas flight can be a major headache, given that the next available is often the next day.
So it's a question of 1) which airport, 2) what timeof day and week, and 3) how risk adverse are you.

Damn, are people getting fatter? Only triathlon I did as a Clyde, definition was 200lbs plus.
I did Everest Challenge as a Clydesdale a number of years ago and the cutoff was 185. Of course that was a race for skinny climber types.

Dr tagged me for 220 with full pockets shoes etc, so I might be 5-7 under, don't tell anyone, I'm sure open is scary.

The guy who put together the shop team AG is on is the kind of guy Clyde is really intended for: a 6'4" wall of muscle, former NCAA of some sort. Looks impressive, but judging from his FB posts, worse with the ladies than I am.

Well the funny thing is... yes, Open has some scary folks. However, there are always a few people signing up for their first tri (and this is worst at the big downtown races with not just Age Group and Open, but Military, First Responders, Collegiate, and Corporate competitions), who are scrolling through all the categories to register for, don't know that Age Group is what they want, see Open, and figure it's "open to everyone". So there are often a couple of out-of-shape 50-somethings racing Open.
