BT Ironman WI mini-camp June 6-8 Madison, WI

with Lake Mills being on the First of June, this is looking very doable for me, at least the bike portion...............will have to see if my pregnant wife would let me do an overnight so i could do the run portion as well.  she has been very supportive of me wanting to get to madcity to get on the course (in fact she is even recommending it........think she is trying to get rid of me??) so i'm about 75% sure that i could be there for both!

Up until about 1 minute, maybe 30 seconds, before we hit the water on Friday    (It would be nice to have a head count by June 1, but peeps can jump in at the last minute if they want)

This could be doable for me but I will need to come from Connecticut so If I can get a cheap flight I am there. I was going to do a Lake Placid camp as closer to home and wouldn't have to get bike stripped down and a flight.

Will let you know closer to the date if I am a starter.

Thxs for organising.. 

Forgot to mention this in the OP, but on Fri afternoon if there is time we might jump in vehicles and do a pre-drive of the bike course so Saturday's bike ride will have some familiarity to it - lots of turns on the course.

Also, the transition area setup at IM WI is unlike any other IM, so the tour of the swim exit, helix and T areas will be a valuable experience for peeps that haven't done this race.  You'll be visualizing the helix all summer long...in addition to the hills and rollers we're going to show you on the bike course

I'm about 70% sure I can make this work, but won't know for sure for a few weeks.

For those needing bikes......If I am able to make it I'll be driving up and can bring a spare 58cm road bike.

I am in the same situation, but I haven't registered yet so it is still a possibility. 

Dude, I'm upset that you wouldn't take me up with having a free stay at my house.

I will make sure that I don't run into a conflict with Little League baseball, but if I do, too bad.

I already foresee this as a great turnout!

I snore

I might come up for the second day... dumpster is doing Rockman, so I jockstrapping duties will supersede day 3... I'm not doing Wisconsin... (this year... but am aiming for 2009) but I'd like to do a ride and maybe a run or something... I'd probably drive up on Saturday and meet you guys... early as you want...

Have ridden the course several times before... will do 2 loops with who-ever is interested.

My wife does, too, sometimes, so no biggie there!  You would have been in the finished basement bedroom, out of hearing range.  You would have had to just watch out for our dog wanting to get in the room.

I'm just found out I can't go this weekend (darn....it would have been so fun).  AND I'm not doing Rockman.

I have a trip to Anguilla I can't miss out on that week/weekend.

Do an extra 40 for me!   

Birkie,
I'm going to try and make this thing work for me.  I have to rearrange previously booked hotel, vacation leave from work, etc, so I need to be 100% sure you still plan on hosting this three day fun-fest June 6-8th.

Could you post back if this is still a solid date and a head count if you have one?

Thanks!  I'm looking forward to it.

I'm going to do the camp, even if its by myself. That's the only weekend that will work for my IM WI training schedule. 

As for a 100% guarantee....no can do.   If my boss tells me at the last minute I have to be somewhere in the U.S. on those dates for a meeting, I don't have a choice but to pack my bags and go.  So far, I don't see that happening. 

The only wrinkle someone mentioned to me is that the MC200 relay race starts on that Friday near Lake Monona, so parking may be tricky if we try to get in a swim.  But if we swim in the afternoon it might not be a hassle.   I haven't kept track of a head count, but you can get a rough idea by going through this thread.

Then I'll go ahead and commit as well.  As long as I'm not the only one then all is good.

I'll post or PM you when I get a room.

My wife is coming up as well to run the Kettle Morraine 100k ultra-marathon that same weekend.
