Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 110)

I just received an e-mail from Jessica. It was in all caps... "I GET TO TRAIN WITH CUBE!"

I'm happy for you both. Good stuff Cube.

UPDATE ON BOOK. Sorry about the delays. I received my second proof and couldn't live with certain mistakes. I should get my third proof in the beginning of next week, and I hope to have the book available at Amazon by the end of next week!

Peace.

CUBE!  You rock! The epic continues, in 3-D, I hope!

Best wishes!

My book is up at Amazon now if you want to check it out. Peace.

Sorry, it wasn't actually available when I posted that, but I just checked this morning and now it is available at Amazon. 

Thank you. I hope everyone who purchases it enjoys it and finds it worthwhile.

I put it at the lowest price point I could without me having to pay the company royalties. I will get a huge $0.04 per copy.

HELP!

...I just received my Giro Advantage2 aero helmet from ebay.

Is there quite a learning curve for getting this thing on?

Does anyone else have difficulty putting sun glasses on first, and then the aero helmet?

Is there a trick to putting it on so I don't rip the ear flaps off? One side is already slightly cracked.

Ahhhhh! I hope I didn't just waste my money.

Tri Sam,

Sorry, I can't help you.....I don't have that helmet.  I use the Lazer Tardiz aero helmet.

Anybody thinking about going back to Louisville next year?  I was a little disappointed in my finishing time, so I'm really thinking about going back and giving it another try.

But, I'm also considering other races.  I'm thinking an earlier race (IM St George or IM Texas) so I can have my summer free for other activities.

Or, I'm thinking a late season race like Florida for cooler weather.  Also, Beach 2 Battleship should be less hassle (and less expensive) since I'm also in North Carolina.

Regardless, I'm almost certain that I'll be doing 140.6 again in 2012!

I understand, I too an a little disappointed in my finishing time. As much as I would love to do a 140.6 next year to get my revenge, I am committed to short distances and HIMs next year.  Plus my husband is going to Afghanistan next year, and I want him to be there for all my IMs. I have decided on IM Florida in 2013, he will be back by then. I am thinking about doing the Beach 2 Battleship half next year so maybe I will see you there.

I am seriously considering Louisville again but at the same time wanting to do others. Currently looking at Texas - If Louisville is a no go, then it could be Florida or Arizona...we'll see.

I've had the itch the last couple of days and decided to scratch- signed up for Columbia Triathlon (Oly) and Eagleman.

Only time will tell

I swear I just read a thread on BT for this helmet.  I hope it works out.

I put my glasses on before my helmet too, plus my head phones

I'm thinking I will be back in 2012, even though I have been toying with the idea of trying for IMAZ.  I would like to check out another IM venue but August is the best time for me.  I'm signed up for B2B and with the shorter days and odd fall weather I would much rather be done training by now.  Makes me doubt I would like training into November for IMAZ
