They are called arm warmers beautiful. Love them! it's my toes that are the problem. my shoes fit perfectly without socks. Toe covers. Go on the outside. Or if you're really worried, shoe covers. I own several pairs of both. They are not that expensive and pretty much every bike shop has them. |

Expert 770 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Question for those who have ridden the course both on a CompuTrainer and in the non-virtual world: Did you find the CT to be a realistic interpretation of the ride, or was it more/less difficult? Why and where was it different? I know the descents can't be mimiced, but are the climbs similar in the effort required? Thanks people |

Why and where was it different? I know the descents can't be mimiced, but are the climbs similar in the effort required? Thanks people decents not nearly as fast, climbs feel more difficult on the CT. I dont recall, but speed is not a very good comparison, one way or the other.... it is probably more difficult on the CT because it is hard to mimic any momenteum, but I dont know for sure. even on the climb up 86 there are spots you can coast...not so much on the CT Edited by cusetri 2010-06-30 9:55 AM |

The climbs are much harder on th CT because on the real course you have some momentum from the downhills, not so much on the CT. Also, the big descent you barely have to pedal, not so much on the CT. However, not too sure about miles 25-35 anymore, as they are different now...but on the real course, the 9N out and back is nothing to worry about. |

Master 3546 Millersville, MD | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I SOOOOO hope we have a cool day on 7/25. I'd rather race in the 50s than in the 80s. Just so I don't jinx my cool weather since karma likes to get me, I'll actually say for the record that I hope it's either really really hot or it rains all day. |

I want 80's at the start and go up from there. None of this northern weather crap. |

Extreme Veteran 398 Sea Isle City, NJ | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I love the wild Lake Placid weather! Last week we were all talking about 95 degree days and making sure we are all heat acclimated, now we are discussing arm warmers and booties! Does it get any better than this?  2 big weeks left for me then the taper begins!!! We are ready people!! |

Master 1989 New Jersey | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread As they say about the Adirondacks..."if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes." Last year started overcast, rained during the swim, by the time I got out the sun was shining. The day before was nice in the morning, then a deluge in the afternoon. Volunteering this year...in the transition tent...weather won't affect me. |

Like, I keep forgetting where I put stuff. Losing track of time and days. Things I did last week, my wife kindly informs me I just did yesterday. Good times! Yes, you are over-trained.. or at least riding that hairyedge.. are you sleeping like crap? I had my last HUGE weekend- Hey, I'm just trying to finish reasonably - and I was like this yesterday.. LONG ride sat, LONG HOT run Sunday, swim Monday. I slept like crap, couldn't think straight, overslept, couldn't focus. Called the coach - I promised the wife I would tell him. Gave me a day off, said don't do housework, cook dinner, sit on couch - "other activities that are fun," but relax. Last night, early to bed, good meal, and slept better. I feel energized. Unless you are elite of going for a Kona spot (you might be) chances are you will benefit more from a rest day than pushing through. MOST of the work is in the bank now, and at least I am better off backing off a bit than pushing through and being sick or more miserable. Anyway, those are some classic over-training symptoms, so take it easy for a day or two. Edited by AdCo 2010-06-30 1:44 PM |

| Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Crap, I don't even remember posting that question. Yikes!! (i kid, i kid!) I've been sleeping well, just feeling a little foggy now & again. Short term memory is a little spotty, and keep losing track of time and days mostly. Time is going very fast actually. |

| Expert 770 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Yeah, I hear you on losing track of everything. Half the time I don't know whether to s#$t or wind my watch. Yesterday, I was speaking to someone about March, insisting that it was last month. I knew it was June, but couldn't grasp it for some reason. The wife is ready to beat me, since I never remember what we have going on or what she says to me unless it pertains to LP (or Disney since we're flying out the friday after the race). |
