Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() mango6383 - 2011-07-08 10:28 AM I am hoping to do a sprint in a couple weeks, an oly a week after that, and am now contemplating either Lake Stevens 70.3, or a local half iron in September (Black Diamond). It all depends on how my recovery goes the rest of this month. I tried riding earlier this week, and to my dismay my knee was killing me towards the end of the ride. I need to learn patience with my body I guess. I hope feel better soon. I'll be at Lake Stevens. It is pricey and has some hair raising parts of the bike course, but it's still fun so I'll be back for my second go-round. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ironeric2010 - 2011-07-08 7:55 AM So, what are everybody's plans post IMCDA? I've got a couple local sprints I'm gonna do. I'm contemplating a HIM in the fall. My big push over the summer is to go sub 20 min at 5k. I'm at around 21:30 right now, so we'll see. I'm jumping right in. Of course, that's because my training for CdA was so limited, I never reached the stage of being burned out and I took it easy enough during the race that I didn't beat myself up. I've got a 200-mile bike ride tomorrow (Seattle to Portland ride), then an Oly next weekend and the Lake Stevens 70.3 in August. We'll see how all this works out! Brad |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() jackson61802 - 2011-07-08 11:09 AM Longshot.....but did anyone buy one of the shirts that had the mdot on the back made up of all the participants names? I waited till finishing to buy anything and of course they were sold out. If anyone has an extra medium, I'd gladly buy it off you! I waited until after the race too. That was the one shirt I wanted and I couldn't believe they were sold out. I asked the people there about it and they said if enough people e-mail the store folks saying they wanted one, they might make more, but it would be a long shot. |

Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() After doing almost nothing since CDA, I'm starting to get going again in preparation for Savageman HIM in mid-September. Fitness sure dropped fast with minimal training over 10 days, hopefully it comes back by the end of July, or I'm not sure I'll be ready for another tough race. I missed out on the shirt, too... they had plenty on Thursday, but when I went back on Friday and realized all the names were on the shirt, they were down to mediums and smalls. Next time I'll know. Also, the official race video is now posted on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neVcAP_s_DE I got interviewed for it but only made it in once... couldn't compete human-interest-wise with a brain surgeon and someone who can recite the entire periodic table. |

Thanks for the link. I have been looking forward to seeing this as I missed the awards ceremony. Cool to see you were interviewed! Who knew the periodic table would be something to put on your list of accomplishments. I guess I need to find a schtick before next year... Too bad about the shirts. I didn't know about them until Rene told us they existed at the Welcome Dinner. Of course by Saturday they were all sold out |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Anyone else order and get their finisher's jacket? I'm a bit disappointed. It came in not as they described it at the tent. And the CdA logo on the back is just an "iron-on" type of logo. Not even embroidered. They told me it would also have the distances on the back. Nope. It's really just a plain mdot jacket with a cheap iron-on CdA logo o the back (not even a year). Anyone else a bit upset at this? Edited by TriRSquared 2011-07-11 5:44 PM |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() When did you get it? I haven't received mine yet. I guess we could always get it embroidered with what we want at an embroidery shop? Still, is lame even with the "discount" we got for them not having them available. TriRSquared - 2011-07-11 5:43 PM Anyone else order and get their finisher's jacket? I'm a bit disappointed.

I see what they are doing, making one standard jacket and just iron on the cheap logo on the back collar. I'm sending mine back. It's not worth the $100 (even with the discount). |

Disappointing to hear this! I ordered one, but haven't rec it. |

I see what they are doing, making one standard jacket and just iron on the cheap logo on the back collar. I'm sending mine back. It's not worth the $100 (even with the discount). It seems that they are going in this direction with a lot of the merchandise (standard "template" items with silk-screen event logo). I've noticed it progressively at most of the WTC events I've done over the last few years. There is less and less selection of actual event-specific items at each race now. Unfortunate. I'm now very happy with my decision to pick up one of the finisher jackets for IMCDA '10 (since I never put down the dough for one when I completed it in '10) on the clearance racks, which still has the full embroidered back, etc. I had a feeling that they were going to move to something like this when they were coming around with the clipboards and order forms in the line at the expo the morning after the race. Be interesting to see if they do this at all the remaining events for 2011 (which I suspect they will). If so, I hope they have some clearance IMAZ '10 finisher jackets at Tempe in November! =) |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() That sounds really lame, and slightly fishy....
I've been exchanging a few emails with someone at shopironman.com, and as of an email I got yesterday, they were still waiting on the jackets to arrive from KSwiss...which she said would be within the next 2 weeks and that emails with tracking numbers would go out. I would definitely send them an email!
I will not be happy with anything less than the specific jacket they had for trying on in the tent (we were told several times that it was the exact same jacket but in black).....and it better be embroidered! (don't care too much about the distances on the back).

Ordered one, no sign of it yet. Would you mind posting a picture if you haven't sent it back yet? Pretty lame of them to promise one product, then deliver another. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'll post a pic when I get home. I don't care about the distances either but it's just another thing they promised and did not deliver. Which includes the embroidered logo as well as the date. I finally found an example of the jacket they had in the tent and what they promised... http://forum.slowtwitch.com/cgi-bin/gforum.cgi?post=2771750;guest=92723796&t=search_engine When I post the pics tonight you'll see it looks nothing like this.

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So is it not even the Kswiss soft-shell with the vertical chest pocket and the rubber Velcro adjusters on the sleeves?I emailed them:Hi, sorry to bother you again, but I have another question. At the expo, we were told that the jacket would be the black version of the soft-shell tech KSwiss that they had for us to try on with the Coeur d' Alene logo embroidered on the front and "Finisher" embroidered on the back. I have read at least one report of somebody that did the preorder, but just received a very thin jacket with silk screened logos on it. Can you confirm that this was maybe a mistake and we will be getting the jacket that was advertised?Hello,No the jackets are screen printed, instead of embroidered. The front has the M-Dot and the word “Finisher” at the bottom left hip, with the race logo on the back. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Sorry for the lack of formatting in my post...for some reason it happens when I post from my phone...I emailed using the contact form on the website. They respond pretty quickly. My main concern is getting the same style of jacket they had us try on....with the same sizing. Lack of embroidery does suck though. |
![]() ![]() |
Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It is the Kswiss jacket with the velcro straps on the sleeves. Same physical jacket. It just does not have an embroidered CdA logo on the front. No date, No distances. Etc.. Just a cheap iron-on logo on the neck on the back that looks like it'll wear off in a few months. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Jacket is a let down for sure. Are we the only vain thread or have you guys heard others disappointment? Sent an email to [email protected]. Ended with " the transition area shows that we are not interested in cheap bikes or wheels". We want value. I suggested to offer what we would prefer a good quality jacket. I know I would have paid a little more for what I wanted. Sending the jacket back. |
![]() ![]() |
Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Lets see a pic guys. The screen printing isn't a dealbreaker for me, as long as it looks somewhat decent, since I actually really liked the cut/style of the jacket itself.
Lucky for all you guys in Florida/the south since it looks like they're shipping from Florida. The lady I emailed with said they were shipping Fedex ground which usually takes FOREVER! |
