EagleMan Ironman 70.3 Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 11)

This will be my 2nd Half Ironman, and my first ever was Savageman!  So really nothing to compare to.  Savageman was just a beast of a course!  But I'm game for setting some goals:

Swim: 32m
Bike: 2h 45m
Run: 1h 45m
T1 + T2 = 6m

Total: Just a tad over 5hrs!!

Daremo - 2009-05-25 1:52 PM S - sub-40
B - sub-2:30
R - sub-1:40

Goal - try and beat my 4:55 from 2 years ago.  But that is gonna be a stretch with lack-o-training.  Going to try and ride conservatively so I can actually run better.  (Yeah, right).

For the purposes of our 'smackdown' I would say it comes down to this.... can I get enough of a lead on the swim to compensate for your run which will be much better than mine. Interested in another 6-pack wager (this time I'm not including Dan)???

I wouldn't be so sure that Rick's run time will be much better than yours Fred.  He doesn't have a good record on that run course

Ouch low blow!

I just sent God an e-mail, but I got a quick bounce back saying he was out of the office till June 1st, vacationing on some island in a galaxy far, far, far away.  I also sent Mother Nature an e-mail ...so we'll she what she responds.  And really I should've just sent her the e-mail first since the day-to-day weather conditions are really her department.  I'll keep you posted

I could give a rat's arse about the weather. Same weather for everyone in my wave regardless.

Yes, but the weather I ordered will make the whole affair more comfortable for ME, which is all that really matters!

Starting this Sunday, Accuweather's 15 day forecast will haverace day listed.  I will be checking it several times a day. 

blah, my race goal just downgraded to finish, which makes me sad.  cried on a long bike today.  what a sissy.  been training on two torn hip labrum.  it appears that 2 hours of any one activity SUCKS. so, unless i can do the bike in under 2 hours, i'm screwed.  fortunately, surgery is scheduled for the day after EM, so i will get good drugs to help with soreness

Sorry to hear about the torn hip labrums   Here's wishing you a speed recovery

Get better lisa! 

Any word on a pre/post/whatever BT meet up?

Heading out to the race site on Sunday bright and early.  Should be perfect weather.  Anyone else going to be out there??

Anyone know the water temp?

I don't know what it is this year but the last few its been slighly below pi$$ warm.  If I were racing this year I would NOT wear a wet suit.  Unless it was chilly in the AM.  But the last two years I came out of the water overheated really bad.
