Ironman Lake Placid : Official Thread (Page 130)

yup. same here. sooo stiff and very sore. Hoping to be zipping down Keene decent in exactly a week from now!

I ordered this but still have not received it? should I be worried? I asked for it to be sent to my home so I can mess around with it before the race and know how to use it and paid for a week but I leave wednesday and I haven't even received a shipping notice yet...

When did u order? I ordered last Tues. and recieved it Thursday.  On the site it said a large portion of their staff was racing this weekend but I'd call them first thing tomorrow and check status. They should be able to ship it to you for you to recieve it by Wed.  It is pretty easy to use but I understand, one less thing to worry about if it's in your hands.   Good luck!

I got my shipping confirmation on Friday.  I had mine sent directly to my hotel in LP.  Yep, you might want to give them a call tomorrow just to be sure (not sure if you can reach them today).

Same !

I have been thinking about next Sunday all day today...

Feeling ready and all pumped up

Jmoney... I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Placid at 9:30 AM ... and right now it's 8:30 PM ... and I haven't even started packing yet!!  Just saying  

Just remember, if you forget anything - it can be bought at the expo.  And most of us have done a 70.3 before.  It's not that much more prep.  

If you're going mental - it's you doing it to yourself  Insane's in the membrane.  Insane's in the brain!  

Question:  Is it mandatory to have reflective stuff on our run gear and if so what do you do?  Tape? Does it stay on? 

Thanks!

Bro, from now until the race the sun is your enemy. It will suck energy out of you, especially if you burn. Don't let us see you tanning on the beach. Your blood sugar was probably low from working out and on top of it the hot sun and humid weather sucked some more life out of you. Stay healthy

haha I have been doing this as well. I am excited that it gets dark late this time of year. Placid gets pretty cold at night... 40's-50's and I don't want to be running when the sun goes down for good. Yet I may have about 3-5 miles left in the dark. I am thinking of putting my arm warmers in my special needs run bag just in case. Although the high for Sunday went from 78 to 84 and a low of 56. Partly cloudy. the clouds will be a welcome sight at times during the race.

Well, weather.com says high of 84 and partly cloudy; AccuWeather says 79 and partly sunny. I'll take 79 and partly cloudy, one from each.

Starting to feel nervous now! Two more days at work, then we head out Wednesday morning for a long road trip (going to be interesting fitting in two training sessions while traveling). Hope we don't bring the 90-100 degree heat that we are having with us!

I am sharing my fortune with you - my mouth hung open when I passed this onto my wife last night.

Dude that rocks!!!

Perfect

Ordered mine last tuesday as well. I have been calling all morning and all I am getting is a voicemail saying they are not available. I have left a message but no one is getting back to me...

No worries; you're likely to get a little bit of everything on race day.

mmmmmmmmmm......

It seems to be heating up a little.  Every time i check the 10days, the sun Gods have added a couple more oF to the number.  Now reaching 84oF.

For those who raced last year, what was the top temp?  I seem to remember heading out on the run just before 3pm and it was HOT.  I feel that i was in the low to mid 80s.  My fiance said it was certainly "rather warm". 

I had done a fair bit of training in the heat last year but less so this year.

Last year it was a lot warmer than high 70's! Lake placid had been in a heat wave and it had been reaching 90's consistantly up to race day and on race day I beleive it had hit 90 again if not high 80's.
