Pro  4675     Wisconsin near the Twin Cities metro |  Subject: BT IM WI mini camp June 13-15 ?????????I posted this on the WI forum but thought there may be some MN peeps interested....(cough, Bryan, cough, Jeff, cough) I mentioned this to some folks a few months ago, but thought it might be fun to see if there is broader interest. Was thinking of doing a mini IM camp in Madison one weekend this summer. Maybe show up mid-afternoon on a Friday and do an OW swim on the course (or similar) followed by an easy run and then food and beer. On Saturday do the full bike course with maybe a very short brick run, followed by food and beer. Sunday morning do one loop of the run course followed by a big breakfast (no beer |
) and then head home. My work meeting calendar is filling up and with races that doesn't leave many open weekends. Right now the weekend of June 13 is looking like the only good weekend for me. If we get a large group we might want to split up into different groups for the bike based on desired pace. Also, if there are locals that have family members that might want to provide support on the bike that would be cool. Still bouncing this idea around in my head. Anyone interested? | 2008-01-03 2:58 PM in reply to: #1131504 |
Elite 2863 | Subject: RE: BT IM WI mini camp June 13-15 ????????? Any way we could have this Memorial weekend towards the end of May? My June is full w/ IMKS 70.3, Hy-Vee Oly, AMBBR Century, etc.... Great idea to have this mini-camp. Would be very interested if it worked with my schedule. FYI. The Madison marathon and half mary are Memorial weekend. This would make a great "run" portion of the mini camp. |

Plus, motels may jack up prices and have 2-3 night minimums that weekend if there is a big race in town. June also gives peeps some time to work up to a 112 miler.... |

Thinking the weekend of June 13th might work out for me. I was thinking of adding a second HIM to my schedule (Liberty) and that was maybe that weekend. Honestly though I think this would be a better idea. I would really like to do this, count me in (as much as I can commit 6 months in advance. |

Pro 4675 Wisconsin near the Twin Cities metro | Subject: RE: BT IM WI mini camp June 13-15 ????????? Crap, thanks for pointing out the Liberty HIM date Bryan. I had it penciled in as June 7 because the last time I looked on their website they didn't have 2008 info, so I went with the date closest to the 2007 race date. Liberty is a "must do" race for me since it will be my only HIM for the season prior to IM WI. Sooooo...I may have to change my weekend to June 6-8. How do those dates sound? Manitou is on the 8th but I had already scratched that one off of my schedule - its too short and I lose a long ride opportunity if I race on that Sunday. Can't do it the weekend of June 21 (racing Bjorklund half), or June 28 (I may be a pacer in the Western States 100 that weekend). July is totally out for me. I'd rather not do it in August due to crappy water quality conditions on Lake Monona during that time. Edited by Birkierunner 2008-01-03 8:33 PM |

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: BT IM WI mini camp June 13-15 ????????? Weekend of the 6th-8th would still work for me. Problem is now you get me contemplating doing Liberty again. Not interested in doing Chisago Lakes HIM Birkie? |

Master 2808 , Minnesota | Subject: RE: BT IM WI mini camp June 13-15 ????????? I'm registered for Liberty, so if any weekend will work, it'd be the 6-8th. I'll toss it around with a couple of my other Moo 08 buddies when I see them tonight. |

The week before is a 120 mile bike race, the weekend after is IMKS 70.3. I guess we won't be going to "hard" will we? I'm assuming this will be a moderate training weekend? |

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: BT IM WI mini camp June 13-15 ????????? Should be enough people to go at different paces. My hard would be your moderate anyway. I'm going to put this down on my calendar to save the date. |

Master 2808 , Minnesota | Subject: RE: BT IM WI mini camp June 13-15 ????????? Let's coordinate having a bike map course for everyone. Once folks get split up, it's pretty easy to get a bit off course. I've done the course a couple times and am still not confident I could navigate it. For the first timers especially folks that haven't been to see the event, this sort of weekend is very valuable. Can we schedule in a tour of the Monona Terrace?  |

If we get there early enough on Fri afternoon we could swim and then hop in vehicles to do a drive thru of the bike course. Yep, I was thinking of taking new folks thru the whole venue to show them everything from the swim exit ramp, helix, T areas, etc. |
