 Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official ThreadPennState - 2009-07-14 4:41 AM So this thread continues to be a quiet one I see  Planned meetings: 1. Gatorade SWim at 8:00am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. (at least I'll be there) 2. Saturday night pre-race dinner. I would like to go. Anyone else interested in sitting at a table? I will probably be sitting with Paul Fritsche (pro triathlete who I am predicting will win the event!!!) and would love to sit with any or all of my fellow BTers. 3. Sunday 7:00am. How about a meet-up in Mirror Lake for a little SBR?  After injuries to you, newleaf, and joshkaptur and indecision about racing by gopennstate, this thread seemed like bad luck for a while! 1. I'll be at the water 8am Thurs (if I am awake), but will be swimming @7 Fri and Sat. Looks like my coach has me scheduled to SBR at about the times I'd start on each course on race day. Comm. Fund breakfast is Fri. at 8:00. 2. Schedule says athlete dinner 5:30 Friday. Is that a different prerace dinner? 3. I'll be there! |

Member  15 Detroit, MI | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread gopennstate - 2009-07-09 9:01 PM Does anyone remember where the first bike aid station is? Aid station is 10 miles out at Cascade Inn after the first long climb (I believe). We volunteered there last year. |

| Master 2621 Mechanicsburg, PA | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I tried my 11-23 several times on long rides. I just feel fresher at the end on the 12-25. SavageMan will take a 12-27 and even a chainring change. |

There is some significant climbing initially. I plan on the 1 bottle of carbopro only to start. "Float like a butterfly... "Is that what you tell yourself climbing hills? "Float like a butterfly, Fred, float like a butterfly." That's my new LP hill climbing mantra! And I'm gonna picture you saying it and smile. |

"Float like a butterfly, Fred, float like a butterfly." That's my new LP hill climbing mantra! And I'm gonna picture you saying it and smile. I think what Fred is suggesting "Float like a butterfly... " is not have excessive weight going up the first set of climbs. Then pickup water at the first water point.
