Champion  7163     Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! |  Subject: Cue sheet for the 40m IM Loop?Does anyone have a cue sheet they can send me? I've never done it which is kind of unbelievable given I live right off Old Sauk and Timber Lane. I would like to try it this weekend. Thanks Suzy |

Here's some info from my reply to Travis' post a number of posts down: Here's the map and a couple of suggestions to avoid the bridge out on Shady Oak Ln. http://www.ironmanwisconsin.com/bike.html You can either stay on Timber Lane instead of turning left onto Midtown to Shady
OR You can join AmyJo, Kristin (Lazymarathoner) and I starting Sat. morn around 6 - 6:30 a.m., leaving the BP gas station across from Gray's Tied House. Edited by 1stTimeTri 2009-06-24 12:51 PM |

It might be a possibility. Amy and I averaged 15.5ish today. We were 18-22 on the flats/easier parts and slower on the hills. |

I'd have thought as more experienced people (than I, for sure!) you would have been a little faster. I've been doing about 17-18 on flats on this certain route between Stoughton and Lake Kegonsa. But then, its a lot shorter than a IMMOO loop. I'm usually beat by the time end of the return trip. Took me about 35 minutes to do just over 9 miles. Edited by rcav8r 2009-06-24 10:04 PM |

He did a lot for me in the pool in on session so I figured it was time to get better in OW. I think he is coming up either Monday or Tuesday of next week. I'm hoping with the cooler weather Wingra will be the place we meet. If not, Lake Ripley which is a hike, but very, very clean. |

Not sure I'd be alive by even the halfway mark! The only serious hills on the route I've been doing is on page st. in Stoughton, and one near the midway point of the loop. The rest is all gently rolling stuff for the most part. Its very similar to what my first tri will be on the 4th. Someone posted this route in the routes section of the site. |

Took me about 35 minutes to do just over 9 miles. I've averaged up to 19mph in races and usually can do 17-18 on training rides, but this course is tough. It has nothing to do with how experienced you are, there are climbs that knock you down to 7mph or less. There are a lot of turns and that slows you down as well. When you train a course like this - or at least when I do - I don't push at a race intensity. The goal is to just get familiar and get acclimated to long, hard rides so by race day we'll be able to hopefully perform our best. |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: Cue sheet for the 40m IM Loop? Unless my husband has something up his sleeve for Saturday at oh-dark thirty, I'm in. He is back in the states tomorrow mid afternoon so I will post if my intentions change. Of course that also assumes my coach is willing to let me change my schedule around. So far he has been pretty good about this stuff, but we'll see. I'm excited. I just hope I can keep up with you IM types. Suzy |

Veteran 249 | Subject: RE: Cue sheet for the 40m IM Loop? Not to burst your bubble, but that hill on Page Street and the one up by the state park would barely qualify as a hill on the IM loop. Still a nice route, I occasionally do the loop around the state park or ride up into the park on my way home from work if I want to stretch out the ride a little bit. Shoot me a PM with contact info if you ever want to get together and ride. rcav8r - 2009-06-25 12:08 PM No I haven't. Not sure I'd be alive by even the halfway mark!

Extreme Veteran 451 Stoughton, WI | Subject: RE: Cue sheet for the 40m IM Loop? Haha! I'm usually granny gearing the one by the park by the time I get to the top! The one on Page is at the end of my ride, so I'm kind of bonked out by then. I usually "get around" it by going west on wilson or west street and going up a less "steep" street like monroe or Johnson or something like that. I guess I'm still not in condition enough for real hills! Anyway, I'll probably be doing this route again Sat. morning sometime, as that is my long ride day. Schedule calls for 58 minutes, so I'll have to look to extend the ride somewhere about a mile or 2. bertgwen - 2009-06-25 4:18 PM Not to burst your bubble, but that hill on Page Street and the one up by the state park would barely qualify as a hill on the IM loop.
