Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official Thread (Page 127)

Ahhhh, cute little tapirs:

It's sort of like the "wolf in sheep clothing" effect thought, because we know that on the inside of the taper is this, just ready to come out and take whatever it wants on race day!

We are so close...

...to 200 pages.  I know we can do it!

Had my last 100 mile ride to day and nice 3 mile run afterwards.   I’m defiantly looking forward to tapering the next
THIRTEEN DAYS!!!!!  There’s no taper on the FOURTEENTH just a bunch of HONEY BADGERS KICKING SOME YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!

Had a really nice late evening 2000 yard open water swim down in the bay, followed immediately by a 5 mile run home in my race gear.   Felt awesome during  both.   I can't believe how fast I'm feeling in the open water....and after the first 500 yards or so, it's pretty much effortless.  Can't freaking wait to take on the lake and all you HB's. 

Weekly totals:

Swim:  9500 yards

Bike:  160 miles

Run:  45 miles.

Oh, and iif you see a guy wearing this shirt:

be sure to say "Hi!" 

Awesome!

jackson61802 that shirt is pretty cool! Ill be looking for you. I'll try to wear the Slayer hat around. Do y'all think we should post pictures now so we can figure out who to look for or just identifying info?

with less than 2 weeks out, my bike out at the shop for tribike transport, my head sick of doing planning and extra laps in the pool, i am becoming a bit of a nutjob. I nearly did 20 hours last week without add-ons so I will be glad that this week is dropping some.

Here's my new aero helmet:

Dumb question but I assume you put the wet suit legs on OVER the booties.  If you put the booties on outside the legs of the suit they do fill up.

Why not... this is the kit I'll be wearing race day.  Before the race I'll be the guy alternating between excitement and pure terror.

Hard to believe that two weeks from today all of the madness will be over! 

I've been absent mostly from all of the discussions, and for that I apologize.  I've been training well, but not nearly where I had originally intended when I started training back in the late fall.  But, I wouldn't trade an extra hour of training time for what I've been able to experience with my now 5 1/2 month old son, so it is what it is.  It's all about priorities, and I know all of you know that.  I wrapped up the bulk of my training this weekend, and like everybody else, am getting antsy to put it all to good use!  I will try to make it out to one of the group swims; likely Friday morning.

So stay smart for the next two weeks, and we'll see you out on the course.  Cheers, everybody!

So, except for the fact that I'm short, I'm fairly hard to miss--bright red hair, 5'3".  Don't have a picture of me in my tri-suit yet, BUT, should you see a red head wearing the logo on this kit on any type of clothing, you can be SURE it's probably me--I'll be sporting it all week for sure. My tri-suit looks like this--so, short red head wearing red/white/blue--PLEASE stop me and say hi.

Here's me, and a pic of the family since you're probably just as likely to spot them.    I'll be wearing black DeSoto Riviera tri shorts and a red/black Zoot jersey with red Zoot TT4.0's and white Jawbones.   My name is Christopher....the "Jackson" in my sn is my sons name. 

My daughter and I before my Rage Half this April.

This is how I'll look on the bike.  Hope fully no long sleeve shirt under my jersey, but you never know.  I'll probably wear this jersey for the run also unless it's over 90*.

Me after my first trail race of the year.

I feel like a beast!

If Potts is planning to repeat he must not realize that I am coming...

...or that I am starting at 2:00 AM.

Me at Marquee and Deuces wild...

RACELAB kit - though don't let it fool you - I'm still slow on the swim so if you see me it's because you are lapping me
