Bib numbers are like tea leaves....

Did you know....

197 is the total sum of the digits of all two digit primes (11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97)

In base 17 (appropriate since you only have 17 hours to finish) the number 197 is represented as BA == Bad Ass

Gold has an atomic mass of 197

Don't Be Cruel (1956) by Elvis Presley ranked #197 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

It's go time.  Track me - Bib #197 on Saturday, May 21

Last year as I prepared for IMLou my number assigned was 333. My mom says, "that's half of 666." I should have known it was a doomed number.

197 seems very lucky, though. We'll be cheering you on.
