Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread (Page 181)

What?  The weather people were wrong??  The weatherman is never wrong!!  Next your gonna tell me this course has hills and I shouldn't run sockless.   

How nice would it be if that forecast were right.

Saturday morning I'll be at the North Pole having breakfast with Santa (seriously).  And then 2 o'clock on I'll be in the hotel, upside down on the bed with my legs against the wall watching 80's movies.  Bueller?  Bueller....? 

tasr - 2010-07-16 4:35 PM My frame came in today.  So tomorrow morning I’ll be driving to Westminster, MD to pick it up then spend the afternoon rebuilding the bike.
 
 
Now this is a weird question.  Maybe it is a DC type question.   Does my bike keep the same name or because I changed frames does it get a new name?

When Whizzzzz had to get a new frame due a crack in her Orbea named 'Fabian' she got a slightly different frame back, and because of the change, it is now named 'Spartacus'. 

It's the same, but it's different, see?

Just give it a II or Jr. suffix.  So in your case James, for your bike it would be Aero Weenie Jr.

How about the Black Lighten II.  Or because the first bike was Black Lighten maybe Black Thunder.  Sounds better than Weenie.

Maybe it's "like a pet".  You should give it a few days and then name it based on certain things it does to warrant that name.

Don't do Black Thunder!  Didn't you see Disney's Cars?  Thunder always comes after lightning.  Ka-chow!

Thanks Josh!  I actually took an hour ride up route 2 early this morning and I have access to the Naval Academy pool.  Looks like I only have one other 1hr ride before I head up to LP, but if I need anything I'll definitely give you a call.  I'll definitely pick your brain about the area as the wife wants to take orders to the Academy and the last time I lived here I wasn't into tri's yet.

Clean Air!  I forgot how nice it is to ride in a place with emission standards. 

How's everyone doing??
